'Game of Thrones' is preparing for another lion's share of the limelight with HBO's 'House of the Dragon' premiering on August 21, and one of the houses set to return in the prequel is House Lannister. Jefferson Hall will play the twins of House Lannister: Tyland and Lord Jason. The Lannisters make an appearance in the form of Jason (Jefferson Hall), Lord of Casterly Rock, and his twin, Tyland (also played by Jefferson Hall), who is a calculating politician.

Hall who has previously played Hugh of the Vale in 'Game of Thrones,' is back to play two different, but related characters. With 'House of the Dragon' set almost 200 years prior to the plot of 'Game of Thrones,' the prequel is expected to showcase the main family of interest, the Targaryens, engaging in the 'Dance of the Dragons.' House Lannister still remains a prominent family and last name in this prequel. Fans and critics are waiting to dive into George R R Martin's fantasy world witness and take in all that they can from it. The 10-episode series will probably take the internet by storm.
