08/18/22 • 72 min
After a three-year slumber, The Cast Beyond the Wall podcast returns to tell the god of death, "not today." In our return episode, hosts Caleb Masters, Daniel Stull, and Austin Lucari reunite for another review, analysis, and fan vs fan debate over what to expect from the Game of Thrones prequel series, House of the Dragon.
If you’re a longtime listener, welcome back! Much like Jon Snow, you just can’t keep a good Targaryn down. If you’re tuning in for the first time, welcome to what has been described by the internet as the show that is “just hanging with your smart buddies talking about Game of Thrones,” or as we often like to call the experience, the Dance of Dueling Dragonites.
Today's topics include:
- Special announcements regarding what will be different about this season of The Cast Beyond the Wall.
- What happened to the first Game of Thrones successor series, Bloodmoon.
- The September 1st debut of Amazon's Lord of the Rings: Rings of Power series and what the completion could mean for our favorite dark Westerosi fantasy.
- What to expect from House of the Dragon including the characters, new showrunners Miguel Sapochnik and Ryan J. Condal, and other behind-the-scenes talents working on the show.
