Mark your calendars as the ‘Game of Thrones’ prequel series ‘House of the Dragon’ is all set to come out on August 21 this year.

On Wednesday, HBO revealed a new poster for the series and announced the release date.

In the poster, a golden dragon is seen on the verge of hatching with a pair of dragon eyes staring behind it.

Set two centuries before the events of ‘Game of Thrones’, the 10-episode prequel series will depict how the House of Targaryen fell into a bitter and brutal civil war known as the Dance of the Dragons – presaging the beginning of the end of the ruling family of Westeros, ANI reported.

The series was created by authors George R.R. Martin and Ryan J.Condal, based on Martin’s novel ‘Fire & Blood’.

The original series ‘House of Dragon’ boasts a cast, with a smaller core set of characters, including Paddy Considine, Emmy D’Arcy, Matt Smith, Rhys Ifans, Olivia Cooke, and Fabien Frankel.
