We\u2019ve got hopes as high as the budget. HOTD caps their budget at a humble $20 million per episode. Meanwhile, Bezos goes full tilt funneling $500 million into The Rings of Power.

Fans of fictitious languages, HOTD will have something to tickle your articulators. Will TROP and HOTD be friends, or fight on the streaming playground? Who knows, maybe they\u2019ll both be bad and we can commiserate on Reddit.\nMore linguistic insider scoops: Game of Thrones 2: Electric Bookaloo \u2013 Bonus Bookaloo: House of the Dragon and More\n\nHey there!
