House of the Dragon revelations! Succession season 3! Lovecraft Country cancelled! More stuff! There’s a lot to talk about this week on Take the Black.

There’s a lot happening in the worlds of fantasy and sci-fi TV this week, so we have a lot to talk about on Take the Black, starting with a bunch of news about Game of Thrones spinoff House of the Dragon. Watch below!

How well do the actors playing the younger versions of these key House of the Dragon characters match their older counterparts? What does it mean for the show that HBO is casting younger versions of the characters at all? We talk through this intriguing development.

In addition to the House of the Dragon casting news (and a peek behind the scenes), we talk about the trailer for the third season of Succession, the cancellation of Lovecraft Country, the latest episode of Loki, and a whole list of quick hits we didn’t have time to fit into the main show so we blast through them in 20-second bursts.

We stream new episodes of Take the Black every Wednesday at 4:00 p.m. CST on our Facebook and YouTube pages. Join the discussion!
