Based on George R. R. Martin's Fire & Blood book, House of the Dragon will be taking place about 200 years before what happens in Game of Thrones. It will take place all over Westeros.

 

Will there be any characters from Game of Thrones in it?

Since it takes place 200 years before the first season of Game of Thrones, we won't be seeing any of the same characters. But, we do get to see their ancestors.

Paddy Considine (King Viserys Targaryen), Olivia Cooke (Alicent Hightower), Emma D'Arcy (Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen), Matt Smith (Prince Daemon Targaryen), Steve Toussaint (Lord Corlys Velaryon), Eve Best (Princess Rhaenys Velaryon), Rhys Ifans (Otto Hightower) and Sonoya Mizuno (Mysaria).
