House of the Dragon premieres August 21 on HBO Max. Based on George R.R. Martin's Fire & Blood series, the story takes place 300 years before the events of Game of Thrones.

Not long after House of the Dragon releases comes another high-profile fantasy show, Amazon's The Lord of the Rings series, which premieres September 2 on Prime Video.

According to a report, House of the Dragon carries a budget of under $20 million per episode. The show was co-created by Martin and Ryan Condal. Condal is also the co-showrunner with director Miguel Sapochnik, who is a Game of Thrones veteran known for the Battle of the Bastards episode, among others.
