    The teaser came out today:


    Early thoughts:
    Not the most unique trailer in the world, but it does the job selling the show's premise. I get that they have to make it clear that it's a GoT spinoff early on. The Dunk actor seems a bit stiff, but I could see him growing on me. The egg actor seems like loads of fun. Production and stuff looks p decent (keep in mind that this show has a less than half of the buget HotD has). I would say I'm cautiously optimistic, but I've been burned by GoT and GoT spinoffs before. Let's see how it goes....

    On a separate note, bets on whether they will run out of material before the 4th season starts production, assuming it goes that long? GRRM has promised that he will finish WoW before a fourth Dunk and Egg novella lmfao.

    I'm more excited for this than I ever was for Game of Thrones of which I have never finished. I remember being young and reading a Dunk and Egg novella in some Anthology I cannot recall the name of and greatly enjoying it back than.

    I will definitely check this out. Here is to hoping it is good.

    4 seasons? Isn't this a miniseries?

    House of the Dragon was renewed for season 2 five days after the premiere, for season 3 ahead of season 2 premiere. I hope they don't turn every bit of Westeros history from the last 200 years into a multi-season show. They fucked season 8 in the ass and the first two seasons of HOTD weren't exactly universally loved. HBO needs to stop assuming everyone will watch any GOT spin-off forever or they will run into an extremely predictable situation of exhausting the audience.
