With this new show, the fans will be able to have an insight into Daenerys’ ancestors and how the House Targaryen come to exist in Westeros. This is a fantasy show which will give us loads of drama just like its predecessor once did.
The show will follow the events which are written by author George R. R. Martin in his book called Fire and Blood, which was published in 2018. The events of House of the Dragon Season 1 Episode 1 will start almost two hundred years before we saw the timeline of Game of Thrones. The events in the show will give us various events of history which were chronicled in Game of Thrones, such as the Dance of the Dragons. It is a historic event in the Targaryen war of succession.
Principal photography for the series started in the United Kingdom. This show will also have a new set of cast, totally different from what we saw in Game of Thrones. First, Paddy Considine will reprise the role of King Viseys I Targaryen. He is the fifth ruler of the seven kingdoms and is loved by his subjects.

Spoilers
Alert: This section contains the plot of the pilot.
House of the Dragon Season 1 Episode 1 plot will basically revolve around the introduction to all the characters and setting the tone for the rest of the season. King Viserys will talk over his councilmen and will be seen worried about an heir. As for Rhaenyra, it is clear from her face that she is not okay with her father disregarding her presence and only wanting a son. Otto Highwater and his daughter Allicent Highwater will also be introduced. Otto is the hand of the king. As for Viserys’ younger brother Baelon, he is named his heir until the king has a son. This might actually change because, in Game of Thrones, we always heard Daenerys talk about Rhaenyra becoming the first Dragon Queen of King’s Landing.
