Speaking with Entertainment Tonight, Matt Smith revealed that the show is set a few hundred years before the Game of Thrones timeline. “It’s obviously a different show set, you know, a few hundred years before Game of Thrones. And we really see the trials and tribulations of a family, the Targaryens. And they’re a very crazy family, me. Must say,” he recently told the publication.
House of Dragons was announced in October 2019, a few months after Game of Thrones ended. The show is co-produced by Martin and Ryan Kondal. The series is led by Kondall and Miguel Sapochnik, executive producers Vince Gerardis and Ron Schmid, EP/writer Sarah Hayes, directors Claire Kilner and Gita V. Patel and director/co-EP Greg Yatanes.
