House Of The Dragon is BACK, and while #DemDragons, betrayals, and bloody battles are dominating Westeros, The Black Watch is turning its attention to the Black representation in HBO’s fantasy franchise.
The latest episode of BOSSIP and CASSIUS’ editorial series The Black Watch unpacked the first two episodes of House Of The Dragon‘s third season, exploring everything from House Velaryon’s impact on the franchise to the online backlash surrounding the show’s diverse casting. The panel once again features BOSSIP Managing Editor Dani Canada, iONE Digital Vice President of Video Tanya Hoffler-Moore, iONE Digital Director of Content for the Men’s Division Alvin Blanco, and comedian-writer Richard Jones for a convo about dragons, diversity, and why fantasy deserves a broader perspective.
“Black people are starting to show up in a major way on House Of The Dragon, and it’s about damn time,” Dani said while introducing the conversation.
The panel first discussed why viewers who skipped Game Of Thrones, or fell off before House Of The Dragon should consider tuning in now, with much of the conversation centering on House Velaryon. This powerful Black family has become one of the franchise’s defining additions.
