From Monday evening long awaited Game Of Thrones prequel House Of The Dragon is set to unpick the fraught, fractious and undeniably incestuous lives of Daenerys Targaryen's distant relatives.
While anticipation rapidly builds, one hopes an early thaw doesn't put a dampener on the expectations of those still recovering from the arguably rushed climax of its predecessor - but what can we expect from the new show?
With £16million spent on each of its ten one hour episodes, one would expect rather a lot. The HBO series was created by Game Of Thrones author George R.R. Martin and is based on his sprawling 2018 book Fire & Blood - a comprehensive history of the House Targaryen.

Set 200 years before the bloody battle for the seven kingdoms depicted in Game of Thrones, House Of The Dragon will document the events leading up to Martin's fictionalised War of Succession - a battle for the throne that is ominously referred to as the Dance of the Dragons.
The bitter power struggle, documented in the final two chapters of Martin's novel, serves as the connective tissue linking House Of Dragon to Game Of Thrones by drawing attention to the plight of the Targaryen clan and detailing why only two family members - Daenerys and doomed brother Viserys - survived the cull.
With eight generations separating the new show from Game Of Thrones, one can expect little else in terms of back story, and those hoping for a glimpse of ancient Lannisters and Starks may well be disappointed.
In accordance with the author's text, it will focus solely on the origins of dragon queen Daenerys and the relatives who helped build the ultimately flawed Targaryen empire.

However building a cast to create the fictional universe in which it is set proved a challenge in itself, despite HBO green-lighting the series following the enormous success of Game Of Thrones over a six season run.
With auditions beginning midway through the global coronavirus pandemic, it was October 2020 before celebrated British actor Paddy Considine signed on as King Viserys I Targaryen, the fifth king of the Seven Kingdoms.
Addressing his role, Smith admitted he's keen to do something entirely independent of Game Of Thrones, while still appealing to the same loyal fanbase.
He told Sky News: 'I suppose that Thrones left a huge cultural footprint, and we're never going to be able to lay the same one, but we're trying to do something original and something new and something that feels like it speaks our own.'

However Considine, whose character plays a pivotal role in shaping the fortunes of House Targaryan, admitted the expectations surrounding the show had played on his anxiety.
He said: 'I'd be lying if I said there wasn't a bit, but I can't take that on. Maybe I'm not as wise as I thought I was, but, you know, it was already a phenomenon that existed, so I wasn't getting into something blindly, you know?
'But at the same time, I might be a bit naive in thinking I just do the work and let it speak for itself and then everyone will leave me alone.'
Excitement: With £16million spent on each of its ten one hour episodes, one would expect rather a lot. The HBO series was created by Game Of Thrones author George R.R. Martin and is based on his sprawling 2018 book Fire & Blood
Emma D'Aarcy portrays Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen, the first-born child of King Viserys, who, by virtue of her family's incestuous bloodline, hopes to become the Seven Kingdoms' first Queen regnant.
Taking another prominent role in the forthcoming show, Olivia Cooke will play Lady Alicent Hightower, the daughter of Ser Otto Hightower and referred to - somewhat uncharitably - as the most comely woman in the Seven Kingdoms.
Fans can also expect an appearance from Welsh star Rhys Ifans as Alicent's father Ser Otto Hightower, while Millie Alcock will play a young Rhaenyra Targaryen.
Completing the cast are Sonyo Mizuno, who will play Mysaria, Prince Daemon's lover, and Eve Best and Steve Toussaint, who will portray married royals Princess Rhaenys Velaryon and Lord Corlys Velaryon.
House Of The Dragon airs from 22 August on Sky Atlantic and streaming service NOW.
