How to stream House of Dragon online in Australia
Ah Westeros, how we've missed you.
There's no doubt that one of the most anticipated shows of the year in streaming is House of the Dragon.
The series is set 200 years before the events of Game of Thrones and tells the story of House Targaryen. It is based on George R.R. Martin's novel Fire and Blood. Martin also wrote the A Song of Ice and Fire series of novels upon which Game of Thrones is based.
Streaming House of the Dragon will definitely be appointment viewing.

House of Dragon preview
Centred on the beginning of the end of the once powerful dynasty that dominated Westeros, House of the Dragon showcases events leading up to the bloody civil war known as the Dance of the Dragons.
While Game of Thrones showed a Targaryen dynasty in decline and scant dragons, House of the Dragon shows what it was like when dragons (and the bloodline that rode them) ruled the world.
Like Game of Thrones, there is a stacked cast for House of the Dragon. Paddy Considine (The Outsider) plays King Viserys I Targaryen. Milly Alcock (Upright) and Emma D'Arcy (Hanna) respectively play the younger and older versions of Princess Rhaenyra, Viserys's firstborn child, who is the apple of her father's eye and hopes to become the first ruling queen. Matt Smith (Doctor Who) is Daemon Targaryen, younger brother of Viserys I and Rhaenyra's uncle. As the trailer suggests, the 3 will face off in a battle for power as to who will succeed Viserys. Succession with dragons anyone?
Rhys Ifans (The King's Man) is the Hand of the King Ser Otto Hightower, while Olivia Cooke (Sound of Metal) plays his daughter Lady Alicent Hightower. Steve Toussaint (Small Axe) is Lord Corlys Velaryon or the Sea Snake, the lord of House Velaryon.
With a battle for power, wars and, yes, dragons, we expect House of the Dragon will be another epic series to stream just like its predecessor.
