There's a new game in town - a Game of Thrones prequel titled House of the Dragon. And House of the Dragon is opening its doors to the public for the first time here at Comic-Con International: San Diego 2022.

Set 200 years before the original HBO series and based on the prose story Fire & Blood, House of the Dragon follows the firey Targaryen family in its glory days ruling Westeros. Here at San Diego Comic Con 2022, nearly the complete main cast - including Matt Smith (Prince Daemon Targaryen), Olivia Cooke (Alicent Hightower), Paddy Considine (King Viserys Targaryen), Emma D’Arcy (Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen), Steve Toussaint (Lord Corlys Velaryon), Eve Best (Princess Rhaenys Targaryen), Fabien Frankel (Ser Criston Cole), Graham McTavish (Ser Harrold Westerling), Milly Alcock (Young Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen), and Emily Carey (Young Alicent Hightower).

They will be joined by Games of Thrones creator George R.R. Martin, as well as House of the Dragon's showrunners Ryan Condal and Miguel Sapochnik.

The House of the Dragon panel is happening nearly one month to the day of the HBO show's planned debut on August 21, and Popverse is live in a packed Hall H to deliver the news straight to you. So follow along live with our play-by-play or come back later to read the whole report all at once.
