Check out the animated House of the Dragon logo!

HBO borrows some footage from Game of Thrones (holler if you know the scene) to make a new logo for House of the Dragon, which starts shooting soon!

Late last night, HBO Max dropped its year-ender teaser, giving fans a glimpse of what’s coming to the streaming service over the next several months. Highlights included Wonder Woman 1984 (out this Christmas Day), Joss Whedon’s new show The Nevers, new seasons of Euphoria and Succession, and even a glimpse of House of the Dragon, HBO’s Game of Thrones prequel show.

Well, we didn’t actually get footage — the show doesn’t start shooting for a few months yet, although casting is fully moving forward — but HBO did debut a nifty little animated logo for the show, which will be coming in 2022. It starts around the 0:49 mark below:

And if you just want to see it by itself, @HOTD_fans can oblige you:

If I’m not mistaken, the shot of the dragon belching fire at the screen is from the final season of the Game of Thrones, when Drogon flash-fries Varys after Daenerys sentences him to death:

Once again, they don’t have original footage to show yet, although the new show will have dragons aplenty, don’t you worry.

It almost seems odd that HBO is teasing House of the Dragon this far in advance, but then again, they know that a lot of people want to see it. In fact, its presence in an HBO Max trailer specifically is a little weird, since technically it’s an HBO show. But as HBO programming president Casey Bloys admitted in a recent interview, the line between those two things is getting blurrier all the time. “It is an HBO show,” he said of House of the Dragon. “What that means in ’22, could there be some sort of sneak or something? I mean, who knows? Like I said before, we were talking Euphoria, which we released early on Max the weekend before its linear premier. Who knows? I mean, ’22 seems so long away and so far out, so we’ll see.”

I also see that Warner Bros. isn’t backing off its plan to release its 2021 movie slate on HBO Max at the same time the films bow in theaters, despite many of its creative partners getting really mad at them for the move. Then again, the only movie I see in there is Wonder Woman 1984, which comes out at the end of this year, not next. Stay tuned.
