The Night's Cast

The highly-anticipated spinoff is here! On this week's episode of the Night's Cast, we talk about the record-breaking series premiere of House of the Dragon, which delivered on the hype (and then some!) as Westeros, the Targaryens, and dragons came thundering back onto our screens.

Last week, we were gifted with a new official HOUSE OF THE DRAGON trailer that clocks in at nearly three full minutes. On this episode of The Night's Cast, the official podcast of Watchers on the Wall, Petra and Vanessa comb through the trailer for delicious tidbits of information, oohs and aahs over costuming, lots of speculating, and more!

Do we remember how to do this? We sure hope so, because an actual, factual trailer for House of the Dragon has dropped, and we're delighted to break it down. Join Petra, Vanessa, and Samantha for their take on what the trailer has -- and what it doesn't -- on this episode of the Night's Cast, the official podcast of Watchers on the Wall.

The 10-year anniversary of the world's most-watched, most celebrated, most talked-about TV series is here, and although The Night's Cast wasn't around then, many of our contributors were already fans -- or they became addicted like so many of the rest of us. At any rate, Petra, Samantha, Vanessa, and WoTW's own founder and editor-in-chief, Sue The Fury, gathered for a new episode of the podcast to reminisce about the series premiere of GoT.

More casting news has been announced for the Game of Thrones spinoff -- dare we say that the production train is picking up steam? Join Petra and Samantha for a quick breakdown of the newest casting and some fun speculation as to what it means for House of the Dragon!

We have RETURNED! Join Sue, Samantha, Vanessa, Petra and Akash for a great break down of all the casting and production news we know so far about the GoT spinoff "House of the Dragon."

Last week was -- to put it mildly -- a bit of a rollercoaster as far as Game of Thrones news was concerned, especially when it came to the spinoff/prequel shows in development at HBO. It gave the fandom whiplash, but it also gave us plenty to talk about! On this week's episode of The Night's Cast, Vanessa, Petra and Samantha do just that: we talk about which prequel got the (somewhat unexpected) axe and which one seems to be fast-tracking toward production.

There's big (potential) news in the realm, and if it turns out to be anything of substance, we'll be seeing much more fire and blood on our small screens in the not-so-distant future -- and the Night's Cast is here to break down exactly what that means! On this bonus episode, Petra, Samantha and Vanessa discuss the news that HBO is reportedly close to giving the greenlight on a House Targaryen-centered spinoff. What might we see in this spinoff? How did it get to this point in development? We're here to talk you through it!

Okay, fine -- technically, summer is over (and winter is coming!). But The Night's Cast still has one more history class to teach, so settle in for the last time this semester! This week, Vanessa, Petra and Samantha wrap up their guest teaching slots at the Citadel by covering the basics of the Long Night (in case you need a refresher) and some of the mysterious civilizations of Essos -- one or more of which will figure into the still-tentatively-titled prequel in the works, Blood Moon.

We're continuing our series of Westeros History 101 with another installment in Summer School at the Citadel -- so if you're feeling a bit overwhelmed with the talk behind the Game of Thrones spinoff in the works, which deals with a Westeros thousands of years older than what we saw in the original show, pick up a quill and have a seat! Your co-maesters Petra, Samantha and Vanessa are back this week, talking about the Westerlands, the Reach, the Casterlys, and some other areas of Westeros we may -- or may not, it's still all speculation at this point -- see in the tentatively-titled Blood Moon.
