Game of Thrones creator George RR Martin has revealed he was \u201capprehensive\u201d about handing over his fantasy world to a new creative team for upcoming prequel series House of the Dragon<\/a>.<\/p>\n Set hundreds of years before the events of the original series, the show will explore the years leading up to the Targaryen civil war, with key characters including King Viserys (Paddy Considine) and Prince Daemon (Matt Smith).<\/p>\n The show looks to be just as ambitious in scope as the original, with epic battle scenes and elaborate sets showcased in a new featurette from Sky, which also features interviews with behind-the-camera talent.<\/p> Speaking of the latest adaptation of his work, executive producer Martin said: \u201cI\u2019m excited. It\u2019s always a little apprehensive when you turn your baby over to foster parents, but I am involved in this. It\u2019s great to have Ryan [Condal], a great writer, and someone who really knew my world. He\u2019s going to do his best to remain faithful to it.\u201d<\/p>\n He continued: \u201cI knew Miguel Sapochnik was an amazing director. He won an Emmy and directed some of our best episodes [of Game of Thrones]. There is always a little suspense to \u2018how good is it going to be?\u2019 But I think I am in good hands with Ryan and Miguel.\u201d<\/p>\n Check out the full video here:<\/p>\n
