House of the Dragon premiere: Matt Smith and Paddy Considine among cast at London preview of Game of Thrones show
Just days before the release of House of the Dragon, the Game of Thrones spin-off show’s stars appeared at the premiere in London’s Leicester Square on Monday (August 15).
Matt Smith, Emma D’Arcy, Paddy Considine, Rhys Ifans, Milly Alcock and Olivia Cooke were among the lead actors who strutted the Targaryen-red carpet – and they were joined by celebrities from Al Murray and Philip Schofield to Love Island's Luca Bish.
Based on George R.R. Martin’s book Fire & Blood, House of the Dragon returns fans to a Westeros 200 years before the events of Game of Thrones, where dragons reign. It is released in the UK on Monday (August 22) to Sky and NOW TV viewers with an Entertainment Pass.
