House of the Dragon, At Last, Announces Its Opening Sequence

Subsequent to presenting its first episode without traditional opening credits, House of the Dragon has uncovered its full opening sequence, and wearing a recognizable theme long-time fans will be glad to hear in the future.

Co-makers Ryan Condal and Miguel Sapochni let ET know that they picked to forego an opening sequence in House of the Dragon’s first episode as a “creative choice” so as to “get on the tell the story.” As such, episode one worked as a cold open for the series.

Nonetheless, the second episode of the Game of Thrones prequel at last presents an opening sequence that consolidates the original series’ nostalgic theme song with a new interpretation of its visuals.

Returning writer Ramin Djawadi’s well known Game of Thrones theme plays over the opening credits of House of the Dragon as it welcomes watchers with a tastefully comparable visual style to the original show, though a lot more obscure. This time around, the emphasis is on weighty hinting – a path of blood clears its path through Valyria, in the end fragmenting in different bearings as it experiences different sigils, each implying a significant crossroads in the long and celebrated history of the Targaryen bloodline.

Responses on Twitter and somewhere else have been mixed, with a lot of clients preferring it for its nostalgic vibe and a lot of others asking why House of the Dragon didn’t go with a new thing.

Place of the Dragon is set almost 200 years before Game of Thrones and follows the Targaryens during a period of turmoil that ultimately prompts the war of succession known as the “Dance of the Dragons.” To the surprise of some, the show has begun its run with to a great extent certain reception and has already been renewed for a second season.

In review the premiere episode, we expressed, “House Of The Dragons is here to have a special interest in its begetters’ title at the zenith of pinnacle TV, and this first episode puts forth a strong defense.”
