The upcoming prequel to HBO`s `Game of Thrones` will explore the origins of the Targaryen dynasty starting at the time of the family`s greatest power, the cast and creators told fans at the annual Comic-Con pop culture convention on Saturday. `House of the Dragon`, which debuts August 21, takes place 200 years before the events of `Game of Thrones`, a medieval fantasy series that became a global phenomenon during an eight-season run that ended in 2019. The new 10-episode series tells the story of a "generational war" among the Targaryens, executive producer Ryan Condal said.
