House of the Dragon Episode 5 Promo Teases Rhaenyra's Engagement

HBO has dropped the promo trailer for the upcoming fifth episode of House of the Dragon, titled “We Light the Way.” The newest episode of the Game of Thrones prequel is scheduled to air on September 18.

The House of the Dragon episode five promo highlights Rhaenyra’s engagement celebration, which seemingly turns into chaos as invited guests start to fight each other. The issues regarding her claim to the throne will continue to be discussed in the next episode as well.

House of the Dragon hails from George R.R. Martin, Ryan Condal, and Game of Thrones director Miguel Sapochnik, with Condal and Sapochnik also serving as showrunners. Executive producers are Martin, Sapochnik, Condal, Vince Gerardis, and Sara Lee Hess.

Based on George R.R. Martin’s Fire & Blood, House of the Dragon chronicles the rise and the downfall of the Targaryens, who are the only family of dragonlords to survive the Doom of Valyria. It takes place 300 years before the events of the award-winning series adaptation of Game of Thrones, which aired its final episode in 2019.

The 10-episode series is being led by Paddy Considine, Matt Smith, Olivia Cooke, and Emma D’Arcy as Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen. It also features Rhys Ifans, Steve Toussaint, Eve Best, Sonoya Mizuno, Milly Alcock, Emily Carey, Graham McTavish, Ryan Corr, Jefferson Hall, David Horovitch, Matthew Needham, Bill Patterson, Gavin Spokes, Wil Johnson, John Macmillan, Savannah Steyn, and Theo Nate.
