Set almost 200 years before Game of Thrones, House of the Dragon focuses on the messy lives of Daenerys Targaryen’s ancestors. The multi-million pound HBO show premiered on Sky on August 22, and, like its predecessor, its cast is packed with talented British actors. Here’s who the most recognisable ones are, the characters they play, and where you might have seen them before.
