HBO's fantasy prequel is currently filming.
HBO has revealed more images from its upcoming Game of Thrones prequel series House of the Dragon, showing Matt Smith's transformation into Prince Daemon Targaryen.
The former Doctor Who star will play the ancestor of Emilia Clarke's Daenerys Targaryen in the spin-off, which will be set approximately 300 years before the events of the original show.
Filming is currently underway on the hotly anticipated project and HBO has now revealed images of several cast members in action, including Smith with co-star Emma D'Arcy, who plays his niece (and wife), Rhaenyra.
The new images also give us a fresh look at Olivia Cooke (Bates Motel) and Rhys Ifans (Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows) as members of the noble House Hightower.
