Watch out, Daenerys. There are new Targaryens in our midst. Matt Smith rocks Targaryen blonde hair in the first look at him as Prince Daemon Targaryen in ‘House of the Dragon.’
House of the Dragon is the highly-anticipated Game of Thrones prequel that will be headed to a TV screen near you in 2022. HBO has released the first photos of the series, including glimpses of the new Targaryens. Matt Smith transforms into Prince Daemon Targaryen with his white-blonde hair.

Rhаenyrа ends up coming become Dаemon’s third wife. (Yes, he ends up mаrrying his own niece.)
