At the 2023 Golden Globes, "House of the Dragon" soared above its competitors, claiming the title of Best Television Drama Series, a category that was fiercely contested by heavyweights like "Better Call Saul," "The Crown," "Ozark," and "Severance." In a moment of triumph, director Miguel Sapochnik, alongside stars Emma D'Arcy and Milly Alcock, graced the stage to accept the award. 

The celebration was not just for their win but also an ode to the incredible talent within the team, with Sapochnik calling for a round of applause for the cast's exceptional performances.

Despite his show's success, Sapochnik didn't shy away from praising "Severance," expressing his admiration for the fellow nominee and sharing a whimsical thought about blending its unique style with that of "House of the Dragon."

Sapochnik's gratitude extended to HBO, the network that had given them the reigns to continue the legacy of "Game of Thrones" with this prequel. Set two centuries before the events of "Game of Thrones," the series dives deep into the turbulent history of the Targaryen family, drawing viewers back into the relentless quest for the Iron Throne. With a stellar cast and a record-breaking viewership, the show's success was further cemented by an early renewal for a second season, promising more intrigue and dragons in the battles to come.
