House of the Dragon will be aired on Sky Atlantic and streaming services in the UK and US starting from August 22.
Locals in Cornwall, a county in South West England, fear an influx of House of the Dragon fans after local picturesque beaches and mounts were chosen as set for filming the Games of Thrones prequel.
The film is expected to draw fans to Holywell Beach, Mounts Bay, St Michael's Mount, and Kynance Cove.
Local businesses are concerned that the influx of tourists will become too heavy of a burden for local infrastructure and the housing market which is already strained due to millions of visitors arriving every year.
