Matt Smith, Paddy Considine and Olivia Cooke attend the 'House of the Dragon' premiere in London

The cast of 'Game of Thrones' prequel 'House of the Dragon' made an appearance in London's Leicester Square on Monday night for the UK premiere of the upcoming series.

Among those walking through a miniature castle and onto the red carpet were Matt Smith (pictured above), who plays Daemon Prince Targaryen, Paddy Considine, who plays his brother King Viserys Targaryen, Steve Toussaint (pictured below), who plays Lord Corlys Velaryon, Milly Alcock (pictured below) and Emma D'Arcy, who both play Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen at different ages, and Emily Carey (pictured below) and Olivia Cooke, who both play Alicent Hightower at different ages.

Set 200 years before the events of "GoT", the series will follow the trials and tribulations of the Targaryen family, as well as other household names.

"It's 'Game of Thrones'. It's not a spin-off. That's what impressed me when I read the script," Considine said on the red carpet, lying on a replica of the throne.

Producer Ryan J. Condal added, "There's definitely a connectivity [with 'GoT.'] It's tricky because it's been 200 years so there's no surviving characters, so you connect ideas, themes and objects. There are definitely things like that."

"There are definitely things you will recognize from the future."

When a fan asked him via video link who the villain of this series was, Condal replied, "It's a universe of Westeros, which means there are no villains or heroes, there There are only brave people who do brave things and bad things. And sometimes both at the same time. So you'll have to make your own choices who do you think the bad guy is."

Milly Alcock described the red carpet, which was surrounded by fans, as "a bit mental". The Australian-born actor added that the cast grew closer during filming during the pandemic in the UK. "We're one big family and these guys literally became my family because I was living halfway across the world from my family," she said. .
