The first trailer for the new Game Of Thrones spin-off House Of The Dragon has been unveiled – and it’s sparked a big reaction from the original show’s loyal fanbase.

So much so, in fact, that many have said they’re almost (almost!) willing to put aside their feelings for Game Of Thrones’ infamous final season, which divided opinion at the time.

On Tuesday morning, the minute-long teaser clip was posted online, showing former Doctor Who star Matt Smith in action as Daemon Targaryen for the first time.

Interspersed with action from the new series, an ominous voice is heard saying: “Gods. Kings. Fire. And blood. Dreams didn’t make us kings. Dragons did.”

Even the most cynical of Game Of Thrones fans seem taken by this new trailer


Shortly after the teaser made its way onto social media, it looked as though even the most cynical of Game Of Thrones fans seemed pretty won over by the footage of House Of The Dragon.

“If you think I’m going to get roped into this after the travesty that was Season 8, then you are absolutely right.,” wrote one fan, or as another put it: “Redemption is coming.”


Oh my Jesus Christ I promise I won’t talk shit about the last GOT season again. This looks BIG ? ? #HouseOfDragonhttps://t.co/a9pC5efbnw
