Today, coinciding with the launch of the first trailer for the second season of The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, HBO has presented the final trailer for the long-awaited second season of The House of the Dragon. Based on “Fire and Blood” by George RR Martin and set 200 years before “Game of Thrones,” this series tells the history of House Targaryen.
The second season of “The House of the Dragon” will seek to escalate the conflict in Westeros, with the Green and Black Councils fighting for control of the Iron Throne on behalf of King Aegon and Queen Rhaenyra, respectively. The cast includes Matt Smith, Olivia Cooke, Emma D’Arcy, and other notable members, while new actors such as Clinton Liberty and Vincent Regan join the series. The season will consist of eight episodes that will premiere weekly starting June 17 on the HBO Max platform.
Created by George RR Martin and Ryan Condal, with Condal also serving as showrunner, “The House of the Dragon” will take viewers to an era of dragons and civil wars, where each character must choose their side in the struggle for power.
