House of the Dragon — a prequel to the famous fantasy drama, the Games of Thrones — released earlier this week on August 22. While the makers have released just one episode of the current season yet, HBO has already announced Friday that the show will be returning for another season. The show depicts the glory days of the ancestors of popular kingdom rulers from the Games of Thrones. Set around 200 years ago from the birth of Daenerys Targaryen or the Khaleesi, the show is based on George RR Martin's book — Fire and Blood.
