The 10 Most Anticipated Movies and Series Coming in August 20221 of 10
"House of the Dragon" | Series Premieres on Sunday, Aug. 21 on HBO Max
Plot: Set 200 years before the events of "Game of Thrones," this prequel series tells the story of House Targaryen, when the family was in full power in Westeros.
Our Take: If you've spent the last two years retconning the final season of "Game of Thrones," maybe this prequel series — which beat out four other projects in development in the frenzy to expand the "GoT" universe — will right any wrongs. We're ready to go back to the time when the Lord of the Seven Kingdoms, King Viserys I Targaryen (Patty Considine), sees his House split in two over succession, leading to a civil war. We love the cast, which includes Olivia Cooke, Sonoya Mizuno, Matt Smith, Emma D'Arcy, Rhys Ifans, and a handful more people who are about to become way more famous. — Arno
