Peter Dinklage Shares His Thoughts On House Of The Dragon

Peter Dinklage offers his thoughts on the Game of Thrones spin-off House of the Dragon, saying he believes it shouldn't try to recreate what came before. For 8 seasons, Dinklage was one of the main players on Game of Thrones. He played sharp-witted Tyrion Lannister, a fan favorite and one of the few characters to actually make it to the end of the show.

It helps that Westeros lives on. Or, it will later this year when HBO debuts its first Game of Thrones spin-off House of the Dragon. Based on author George R.R. Martin's Fire and Blood, the new television series is set hundreds of years before Tyrion and other familiar characters lived and focuses on House Targaryen.

“I think the trick is not to try to recreate Thrones. If you try to recreate it, that feels like a money grab. With a lot of sequels, the reason for them is that the first one made a lot of money, which is why they aren’t as strong. But I am excited to watch the House of the Dragon, purely as a viewer, not knowing what will happen next.”

Dinklage's comments echo those made by his onscreen brother Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, who said back in October that he hopes House of the Dragon manages to stand on its own. Game of Thrones was a monumental achievement that cannot be replicated, and it shouldn't be. House of the Dragon might retain some familiar names and locations, but it ultimately tells its own story. That alone truly makes it exciting.

Still, Dinklage is excited to see House of the Dragon, and he likely isn't the only one. HBO is hyping its arrival, though it isn't quite clear just when it will premiere. Series star Rhys Ifans gave an update on House of the Dragon's premiere in December, warning fans might have to wait a while since production was still underway. To get a show of this scale completed is no doubt a great deal of work, and it's likely only been complicated by the coronavirus pandemic.
