Game of Thrones fans are waiting eagerly for House of Dragon, the prequel series which takes place 300 years before the main action of the HBO hit.

And members of the cast and crew were back filming once again on a beach in Devon on Tuesday.  

One male actor was dressed in primitive armour and dark trousers as he stood over a co-star who was tied to wooden spikes for a tense scene.

Other actors dressed in red robes and armour were seen carrying a large chest across the beach.

One cast member was also seen getting bloody makeup applied before having armour put on. 

Several tents were set up near the beach for the cast and crew to make use of between takes.  

In July, production was paused after a person on set tested positive for Covid-19.

It is understood that the production shut down for two days, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

The delay was the latest to hit the movie industry after work on Bridgerton series two was also postponed amid positive coronavirus test results.

A spokesperson for House of the Dragon told the publication at the time: ‘As part of the rigorous testing implemented for all production employees, a Zone A production member on House of the Dragon tested positive for COVID-19.

‘In compliance with industry guidelines, the production member is in isolation, and close contacts will be required to quarantine.’

MailOnline contacted a WarnerMedia representative for comment at the time.

Non-binary actor Emma D’Arcy is portraying the 28-year-old version of Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen, whose uncle Prince Daemon Targaryen is played by Matt Smith.

The show will depict the war of succession between Daenerys Targaryen’s ancestors Rhaenyra and Aegon II, two dragon-wielding heirs to the Iron Throne, in a civil war known as the Dance of the Dragons.

The Dance of the Dragons saw Rhaenyra and her half-brother Aegon II fight over their father Viserys I’s throne in a war that lasted three years, and led to untold death and misfortune to the Targaryen line.

Rhaenyra was declared the heir to her father Viserys I, but upon his passing, Aegon II was hastily crowned and she swore revenge against him.
