Based on George R.R. Martin’s Fire & Blood, the prequel is set 300 years before the events of global blockbuster Game of Thrones, and tells the story of House Targaryen.

Steve Toussaint as The Sea Snake
Steve Toussaint plays Lord Corlys Velaryon, aka The Sea Snake, ‘the most famed nautical adventurer in the history of Westeros, Lord Corlys built his house into a powerful seat that is even richer than the Lannisters and that claims the largest navy in the world.’
Olivia Cooke plays Alicent Hightower, the daughter of Otto Hightower, the Hand of the King, and the most comely woman in the Seven Kingdoms. ‘She was raised in the Red Keep, close to the king and his innermost circle; she possesses both a courtly grace and a keen political acumen.’
Rhys Ifans appears as Otto Hightower, the Hand of the King, who loyally and faithfully serves both his king and his realm. ‘As the Hand sees it, the greatest threat to the realm is the king’s brother, Daemon, and his position as heir to the throne.’
