Only a few days after we reported that Graham McTavish was spotted in Cornwall on the set of House of the Dragon, McTavish has confirmed that he is, indeed, a member of the upcoming Game of Thrones prequel’s cast and offered the very vaguest and non-spoilery of teases.
A mere week after we got our first official look at some of the House of the Dragon cast in-character, another actor has been spotted joining them: Graham McTavish!
Well this was unexpected! Though production on House of the Dragon is still very much in progress, HBO has deigned to gift us with official images of the series’ main characters!
Production on House of the Dragon is coming along nicely, according to new photos which offer us a peek at costumes as well as a first glimpse of Steve Toussaint as Corlys Velaryon!
New photos have surfaced from Cornwall where production for House of the Dragon has “allegedly” (lol, it definitely has) begun, giving us a clearer look at House [redacted]’s sigil and hinting at nautical shenanigans.
We knew production on House of the Dragon was beginning, but I admit I wasn’t expecting photos to roll in this fast! Show stars Emma D’Arcy (Rhaenyra Targaryen) and Matt Smith (Daemon Targaryen) were spotted filming today on the set that’s been in production for the past week on Holywell Beach in Cornwall. Details below the cut!
We celebrated Game of Thrones‘ Tenth Anniversary, the Iron Anniversary, in the best way we know how here at Watchers on the Wall- with a giveaway! We offered up two splendid prize packages for our readers, one centered on Team Stark and one on Team Targaryen, both sure to serve their recipients well. After a week of gathering entries, it’s time to send these fabulous gifts on their way.
Without any further ado, our two winners are….
Well, we can finally start referring to House of the Dragon, the Game of Thrones spinoff centered on the Targaryens and their infamous civil war, as “in production,” because photos tweeted and ‘grammed from official accounts today left no doubt. This series is off the ground, folx!
Yes, I technically have to use words like “rumored” and “possibly,” because technically there’s been no confirmation that the busy activity in Cornwall we reported on earlier this week is for the much-anticipated Game of Thrones spinoff House of the Dragon.
Pre-production activity for something being filmed by Warner Bros. — the company that owns HBO — has been taking place in Cornwall this week, including on St. Michael’s Mount, an island that features a 12th century castle. One of the structures being built there is a huge stone archway that looks quite Thrones-esque, and when CornwallLive’s photographer captured the initial shots zoomed in on the top of the arch, something very intriguing was visible:
We were pretty certain that production on House of the Dragon, the Targaryen-focused Game of Thrones prequel, was slated to start soon, if the show is to stick to its 2022 release — and recent news means we just might be watching that production unfold!
