WiC Weekly: July 24-July 30
By WiC Staff
House of the Dragon has its world premiere! The Orville continues to crush it! The Sandman is so close we can taste it! Plenty to discuss this week.
What happened this week in the worlds of sci-fi, fantasy, movies and TV? Let’s dive right in, starting with House of the Dragon. Last week, HBO released a proper trailer for the Game of Thrones prequel show. Now it’s released…a slightly longer version:
"Targaryens are closer to gods than to men." Rhaenrya Targaryen displaying some hubris! I"m sure it'll be fine. https://t.co/1WqHZ0ZvPD

The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power is coming to Amazon Prime Video! Lil’ Jeffy Bezos put a lot of money into this one, but it wasn’t his only choice:
Amazon is making The Rings of Power, but was originally pitched other LOTR spinoffs that sounded way less promising. https://t.co/ZzAyYMtIxp
