Of course, this was the event’s top attraction, because everyone wants to sit on the seat reserved for kings and to feel what it’s like to sit in a chair made of swords. All of this was just thewarm-up before the stars started arriving on the red carpet.

She led us to the most interestingspot: theauditoriumwhere the first episode of the series would be screened.Here’s a little insight into everything that awaits us in this show that faces a huge task – to be at least as good asGame ofThrones. The story unfolds 200 years prior to the events of the original series and explains the story around Daenerys Targaryen, or how it came to be that the line of a once successful dynasty found itself facingannihilation after losing both the throne and all itswealth, but also itsmost precious possession: dragons. The show starts with the Targaryen family in Dragonstone. The king awaits a son and heir in vain. It is a time of peace, but machinations never cease in Westeros. And that’s where we see the emergence of the plot around who will inherit the throne, as it appears as though the kingdom would rather witness its own disappearance than have a woman at the helm. In conversation with Elevate, Ryan Condal, the show’s co-author, screenwriter andmainproducer, explains that this is a complex story about the struggle for supremacy and power, and producing it wasn’t a simple task for him and his team – they had to devise a series that would clearly distinguish itself from Game of Thrones. “We first started by deciding what we would retain compared to the original, and then to see which parts would be different. We preserved the general sentiment, for people to feel that they are in a similarworld. But, again, we took care to ensure itwouldbe immediately clear that we are two centuries before the eventsofGameofThrones.Thatwas the first challenge. You can see, for instance, how the characters dress differently, that the Iron Throne is different, but it is completely clear that we’re still inWesteros,” he says. We also spoke with Millie Alcock, who struggled to hide her excitement at having the opportunity to be part of something so big. She says that shewas tooyoung towatch Game of Thrones when it originally aired, but that she prepared well and received great support fromthe older actors. “It was pure enjoyment. Like some master class, the best I’ve had in my life – that’s how it was for me during shooting with Paddy Considine. He is an absolute genius; it’s hypnotic watching how he acts and working with him. In the end, I felt very sure of myself in all the scenes we did together,” saysMillie. And just as she wasn’t permitted to reveal details of her role and the events of the series, we won’t spoil it either. It’s enough to say that therewill be lots of fire, intrigue and scheming, and that it’s never dull in the world of dragons and kings!
