‘House Of The Dragon’ Craft Heads On Expanding The “Visual Legacy” Of ‘Game Of Thrones’

deadline.com:

As a prequel to Game of Thrones, House of the Dragon posed a creative challenge:how to develop a new and distinctive style while respecting the set-up of the previous series.

This challenge fell mainly to the craftspeople, whose work resulted in eight Emmy nominations for HBO this year, including Outstanding Drama Series.

Of the 10-episode season, two episodes garnered the bulk of the nominations. The first is “The Heirs of the Dragon”, which introduces the series and brings the audience into the world of the Targaryen royal line.

The second is “The Lord of the Tides”, which sets up the devastating war of succession, known as the “Dance of the Dragons”.
