House of the Dragon Season 1 Plot

The first season will feature an exciting storyline full of jaw-dropping plot twists! It will deal with the history of the famous House Targaryen. Additionally, it will cover major historical events that took place 300 years ago including the gruesome Targaryen civil war, better known as the Dance of the Dragon, and the result of the Doom of Valyria. 

After the King’s death, there is major civil unrest. Half of the people, called the greens, want the eldest son Aegon to take over. On the other hand, the remaining (called the blacks) support the eldest child Rhaenyra. She is the officially declared heir! Thus, the Targaryen siblings must fight amongst themselves for control of the throne. They are joined by the other Houses like the Lannisters and the Starks who take different sides. The battle results in the death of several dragons who soon become extinct for 300 years until Daenerys Targaryen hatches three eggs.

House of the Dragon Season 1 Cast

Main Cast I

  • Emma D’arcy as Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen- “The king’s first-born child. She is of pure Valyrian blood, and she is a dragon rider. Many would say that Rhaenyra was born with everything… but she was not born a man.” 
  • Matt Smith as Prince Daemon Targaryen- “The younger brother to King Viserys, and peerless warrior and dragonrider, Daemon possesses the true blood of the dragon. But it is said that whenever a Targaryen is born, the gods toss a coin in the air…”
  • Paddy Considine as King Viserys Targaryen- “Viserys was chosen by the lords of Westeros to succeed the Old King, Jaehaerys Targaryen, at the Great Council at Harrenhal. A warm, kind, and decent man, Viserys only wishes to carry forward his grandfather’s legacy, but as we’ve learned from Game of Thrones, good men do not necessarily make for great kings.” 
  • Rhys Ifans as Otto Hightower- “The Hand of the King, Ser Otto loyally and faithfully serves both his king and his realm. As the Hand sees it, the greatest threat to the realm is the king’s brother, Daemon, and his position as heir to the throne.”

Main Cast II

Furthermore, the main cast also includes,

  • Olivia Cooke as Alicent Hightower- “She’s the daughter of Otto Hightower, the Hand of the King, and the most comely woman in the Seven Kingdoms. She was raised in the Red Keep, close to the king and his innermost circle; she possesses both a courtly grace and a keen political acumen.”
  • Steve Toussaint as Lord Coryls Velaryon- “The Sea Snake. The lord of House Velaryon, a Valyrian bloodline as old as House Targaryen. As “The Sea Snake,” the most famed nautical adventurer in the history of Westeros.” 
  • Eve Best as Princess Rhaenys Targaryen- “A dragonrider and wife to Lord Corlys Velaryon, “The Queen Who Never Was” was passed over as heir to the throne at the Great Council because the realm favored her cousin, Viserys, simply for being male.”
  • Fabian Frankel as Sir Criston Cole- “Of Dornish descent, Ser Criston is the common-born son of the steward to the Lord of Blackhaven. He has no claim to land or titles; all he has to his name is his honor and his preternatural skill with a sword.”
