Variety shared that the House of Hightowers will also appear, including Otto Hightower, who is played by Rhys Ifans ( Notting Hill, Snowden), and the faithful Hand of the King. (Sounds like the familial tension is already building!)

The Targaryen clan will be rounded out by Emma D'Arcy ( Truth Seekers) and Matt Smith ( Doctor Who, The Crown), who Variety reported were cast in late 2020. According to Deadline, Viserys was 'chosen by the lords of Westeros to succeed the Old King, Jaehaerys Targaryen, at the Great Council at Harrenhal.' The publication noted he's said to be a 'warm, kind and decent man' who 'only wishes to carry forward his grandfather's legacy,' but his goodness doesn't necessarily make him a strong ruler. Deadline reported English actor Paddy Considine ( The Outsider, The Third Day) is one of the leads on the show, playing King Viserys Targaryen.

House of the Dragon, which was given a full-season order back in fall 2019, is the first of the spinoffs coming down the pipeline. One of them will be here fairly soon, actually. While one show that was supposed to take place thousands of years before the events of GoT and star Naomi Watts got the go-ahead to film a pilot before the network ultimately decided to pull the plug on it, other optioned shows are still in the works.
