Game of Thrones fans rejoice as House of the Dragon trailer drops

Game of Thrones fans get ready because there's a new show gracing screens this summer that is sure to have them tuning in.

A trailer has been released for House of the Dragon, a new show launching this summer on Sky Atlantic and streaming service NOW.

The show is based on George R. R. Martin's Fire & Blood, with the events taking place 200 years before the familiar storylines of Game of Thrones.

Focusing on the Targaryen family, the show will give a closer insight into who the family were before we came to know Daenerys.

Superfans of the show don't have to miss out on the excitement as each instalment of the show will be available at the same times as the US premiere each week and be on demand thereafter.

Sky customers can have peace of mind as it will be available in all markets including the UK & Ireland, Italy, Germany, Austria and Switzerland.

Paddy Considine (Hot Fuzz) takes on the role as King Viserys Targaryen, Matt Smith (Dr Who, The Crown) plays his younger brother Prince Daemon Targaryen and Emma D’Arcy (Truth Seekers, Wanderlust) plays the king's firstborn child Princess Rhaenyra.

Rhys Ifans (The King's Man, Spider-Man No Way Home, Notting Hill) takes on the part of Otto Hightower, the king's hand. He
