The new 10-episode series tells the story of a "generational war" among the Targaryens, executive producer Ryan Condal said."It begins at the absolute pinnacle of the dynasty, the height of their power, wealth and influence. They have the most dragons they will ever have," Condal said. "It's just before the bloom starts to come off the rose."
"Doctor Who" star Matt Smith plays Prince Daemon Targaryen, the king's younger brother. The pair have "quite a complicated relationship," Smith said. Emma D'Arcy portrays Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen, her father's chosen successor."She should have been the queen," Best said of the character. "It's kind of annoying that she isn't.
