Who will star in the series?īecause the upcoming series is a prequel, HBO introduced us to a whole new cast of characters, with familiar faces that we can recognize from other HBO shows. For these reasons, it is difficult to say how loyal House of the Dragon will tell the stories from Fire and blood. Game of Thrones followed the books with little or no variation for the first four seasons, after which substantial changes to the characters and the plot were made at least in part because the source work was not complete at the time.
