HBO has confirmed that the Game of Thrones prequel series House Of The Dragon has started production.
The network marked the occasion by sharing a photo from a socially-distanced table read, including stars Paddy Considine and Matt Smith.
House Of The Dragon is set 300 years before the events of Game Of Thrones and will tell the story of the Targaryen family.
It is based on author George R R Martin's 2018 novel Fire & Blood.
The show, created by Martin alongside showrunners Miguel Sapochnik and Ryan J Condal, is scheduled for release in 2022 on the HBO Max streaming service.
Considine will star as the "warm, kind and decent" King Viserys Targaryen in the TV adaptation.
Smith, known previously for his lead role in Doctor Who and portrayal of the late Duke of Edinburgh in The Crown, is to play Prince Daemon Targaryen.
