Ahead of the second installment’s arrival on streaming, House of the Dragon showrunner Ryan Condal revealed that, despite having no clue about how many more seasons the show will eventually get, the creators have already come up with some plot twists that may conclude House of Targaryen’s story in George R.R.

Although House of the Dragon was intense from the beginning, the first season was written as an introduction to the story that will take place in season 2. Viewers got to know the characters, get into the plot, pick their personal favorites, and start rooting for them.
Season 2, however, is about to change everything, as both branches of the Targaryen family will enter the battlefield to start a real war for the Iron Throne. While most fans may have already decided whether they're Team Green or Team Black, the events of the upcoming episodes are likely to change that.

Martin’s novel Fire and Blood, many fans already expect what they will see and how things will turn out. In its promotional campaign, Max drew special attention to a shocking event that we will likely see at the beginning of Season 2.

The first season of HBO’s House of the Dragon brought a unique take to the screen by covering two decades in just ten episodes, complete with significant time jumps that saw characters age, marry, and die. By contrast, season 2 aims for continuity and deeper character exploration. What to Expect from Season 2 According to showrunner Ryan Condal, the new season will begin just days after the season 1 finale where Aemond Targaryen (Ewan Mitchell) tragically kills his nephew Lucerys Velaryon (Elliot Grihault). This act cements the conflict between Aemond’s brother Aegon (Tom Glynn-Carney) and his half-sister Rhaenyra (Emma D’Arcy)...

Crave’s management is eyeing a breakthrough into the top three streaming services in Canada, as its parent Bell unveiled its 2024 season Upfronts slate today.
In an exclusive interview with Deadline, Bell Media VP, Content Development & Programming Justin Stockman outlined a “multi-pronged, multi-year” plan to break into the top three by subscriber numbers, which is currently occupied by Disney+, Prime Video and Netflix. Crave has around 3.1 million subs at the moment, which has ticked up slowly over the past 24 months, but Stockman and Bell President Sean Cohan are aiming for bigger and better things.

After the long wait of nearly two years, our favorite epic fantasy political drama is back, and this time with even more dragons. It has been more than five years since Game of Thrones ended and no other series has been able to replace the hole it left in the television space until its prequel series House of the Dragon came out to reclaim its fans and apologize to its fans for the terrible Season 8 of Got. Now we are finally getting the second season of the fan-favorite HBO series.
Based on Fire & Blood by author George R. R. Martin, the HBO series is created by Ryan Condal and R. R. Martin.

Matt Smith may play a fan-favorite Targaryen right now, but there was another Targaryen descendant who has always had fan support for being the best Game of Thrones character. Fans may get riled up for that exact reason at Smith’s recent comments on who would win a battle between Daemon Targaryen and Jon Snow. Smith shared that Daemon would emerge victorious over Kit Harington’s Jon Snow in such a scenario.

Such a fight would never take place in the Game of Thrones universe because of the 200-year gap between the storylines. However, Smith shared that his character’s ownership of the large red dragon Caraxes would make him a clear winner over Jon Snow.

Greatness in writing comes in different forms, and two shining examples of this virtue are prolific authors Stephen King and George R.R. Martin. While King is popularly known as the ‘King of Horror’ for his masterful depiction of narratives in the genre like The Shining, Martin is the bonafide genius of fantasy with Game Of Thrones.

The first season of House of the Dragon did an outstanding job of rounding up everything we’ve grown to appreciate about the Game of Thrones franchise. Dragons, without a doubt, shined brightly, but the show’s most significant components were emotions such as love, passion, desire, sadness, and dread, as well as violence and betrayal. And there will be loads of everything we’ve mentioned so far in Season 2.
Emma D’Arcy teases turmoil in Daemon-Rhaenyra’s relationship
As Westeros gets embroiled under the shadows of war, Daemon and Rhaenyra’s relationship takes a hit. D’Arcy’s Rhaenyra is grieving after the death of her father and son. In a recent interview with Av Club, D’Arcy explained, “I don’t know if they can find solace in each other in the losses. I don’t feel like Daemon can share his experience of losing his brother, so there is a dislocation taking place.

TV's best and most passionate breakdowns are occasionally subtle and often legendary.
They're the culmination of the negative, the positive, or simply the need for upheaval in an otherwise flat character arc -- a self-destruction so piteous as to seem irredeemable.
Sometimes, this act affects others as well.
Naturally, the on-screen breakdown is the culmination of psychological stressors, whether self-induced or brought on by binge-watching The Brady Bunch Variety Hour.
It's often difficult to watch without empathy, especially in characters we've grown to love and even in some we love to hate.
After all, the most intense breakdowns are all too often close to home and personal to the viewers.
It's easier to empathize with Walter White's failure to find the money to pay Saul in Breaking Bad if you've ever misplaced a hundred-dollar bill in the couch cushions.
The closer a TV series parallels real life, the more we can empathize with the characters.

By the end of House Of The Dragon’s first season, the Game Of Thrones prequel series exploring the Targaryen civil war had set up an almighty clash of queens. Emma D’Arcy’s rightful ruler Rhaenyra had been denied the throne by childhood-friend-turned-mother-in-law (it’s complicated) Alicent Hightower; in a colossal misunderstanding, Alicent has come to believe it was King Viserys’ final wish for Alicent’s line to take the throne, rather than the daughter he long championed for the job. Throw in that one of Rhaenyra’s kids has been chomped by a hungry dragon – at the hand of one of Alicent’s sprogs, no less – and the stage is set for all-out war.
Heading into Season 2, neither Alicent nor Rhaenyra is ready to back down. “Alicent’s at the height of her power,” Cooke teases of the upcoming episodes. “She’s dealing with the task she thinks Viserys gave her,...

The show’s approaching installment is set to arrive with a full-scale war between House of Targaryen’s divided family members, and, judging by all the promo that has been released ahead of the new season’s drop, now there’s no place for mercy at all.
However, things may still turn in a very unexpected direction in the second season as fans keep speculating about seeing the show’s lead in a very specific filming location, and so far it doesn’t really make sense.

So much of us making the first series, well for me, was falling in love with them — with Matt, with Liv, with other members of the cast," says Emma D’Arcy about filming the second season of 'House of the Dragon' apart from her close-knit co-stars.

House of the Dragon is returning for Season 2 and the cast is teasing what viewers can expect when the show returns to HBO on June 16.
Emma D’Arcy, Olivia Cooke, and Matt Smith talked to Deadline and teased what is ahead for the fantasy drama, with Smith revealing that the show will be more like its older sibling.
For Cooke, who plays Queen Alicent Hightower, returning for the second season of the George R.R. Martin-created series was like a homecoming.
“We know the characters inside out, and we’re sort of going back home, in a way,” Cooke told us. “We’re not afraid of the text or afraid of the big sets that are sort of home away from home.”
Cooke teases that in Season 2, Queen Alicent Hightower leaves the castle with the actor saying, “That was huge for me. I went to Spain. I went to Wales and I went to Surrey.

Fans have eagerly awaited House of the Dragon season two for the last year and a half. Numerous prominent TV series encountered significant production delays due to Writers’ Guild and SAG-AFTRA strikes. However, the Game of Thrones spinoff continued filming throughout the previous summer.

After building its characters’ relationships in season one, season two of HBO’s House of the Dragon will see its leads flung across Westeros — much to the disappointment of its close-knit cast.
The second season of the Game of Thrones prequel will continue to chronicle the House Targaryen civil war, as Rhaenyra (Emma D’Arcy), Prince Daemon (Matt Smith) and their Dragonstone forces face off against Alicent (Olivia Cooke) and her children for claim of the Iron Throne. But that means the stars were often off shooting their own individual storylines this year, rather than group scenes together.
At the show’s New York premiere on Monday, D’Arcy admitted filming without Smith and Cooke was “kind of lonely” but noted, “There’s so many beautiful actors on the show, it’s an ever-mutating thing. Certainly, I think it’ll make the active viewership kind of more exciting because there are so...

The Little Birds in Westeros have shared with Wiki of Thrones information about the plans and readiness of the mighty Team Black, led by Rhaenyra and Daemon Targaryen. From Harrenhaal to King’s Landing, Rhaenyra will conquer everything in her way until she gets the revenge she deserves. Fans can prepare themselves to see two epic battles in House of the Dragon season 2, as confirmed by Ryan Condal.
The first battle is going to happen at Rook’s Rest as Ser Criston Cole takes the lead among the Greens and Rhaenys Targaryen fights against Aegon II and Aemond with their dragons. She dies, while Aeon II gets seriously injured. Moreover, our source has informed us that we don’t get to see the Sack of Duskendale and that it’s only a mere aftermath of the sack.

Once upon a time, Hollywood's most tech-forward studios made many a breathless proclamation that streaming was the future. Simply put, nothing could rival the convenience, the lack of annoying ads, the vast library of titles available at our fingertips, or, most importantly of all, the affordability of subscribing to all the major streamers -- as opposed to venturing out to expensive movie theaters and catching the latest blockbuster on the big screen. Well, fast forward a few years and the biggest monkey's paw of all time has curled in ways that, quite frankly, we should've seen coming. For many discerning viewers, streaming has mostly just become synonymous with awfully pixelated and low-quality visuals, studios abruptly pulling entire movies and shows at the drop of a hat without offering any release on physical media, and a dystopia where algorithms and advertisements intrude on every spare inch of the screen. Good times!

House of the Dragon has a highly decorated cast, often making appearances in other famous franchises. As the release date for the Game of Thrones prequel draws closer, fans are excited to see what the second season holds. The cast is currently busy with promotional tours, and the show’s alum Rhys Ifans (Otto Hightower) paid a visit to the Venom-verse somewhere in between.

The third installment of Sony’s Venom series is also supposedly its last. The trailer picks up right after MCU’s Spider-Man: No Way Home, where Rhys Ifans appeared as his The Amazing Spider-Man character, Kurt Conners/the Lizard. Venom appears in the post-credit scene of that movie, and it seems like he just managed to hop back to his universe. However, things are worse here as Venom reveals his kind has launched an attack on Earth.

HBO’s Game of Thrones prequel series House of the Dragon has all the familiar concepts that GoT fans have come to love: magic, mystery, murder, and mayhem. However, a reveal at the end of the episode 1 took everyone by surprise. We find out about Aegon Targaryen’s A Song of Ice and Fire prophecy. Aegon the Conqueror was the first Targaryen ruler of Westeros and he had a vision of the White Walkers and that only a Targaryen with a dragon could save humanity.
It may explain why George R. R. Martin‘s Game of Thrones book series known as A Song of Ice and Fire received its title. It is a twist that retcons Game of Thrones and reframes the White Walkers’ defeat. This article delves into what this prophecy is. It attempts to explain what the implications could be for the future, as well as how it connects to Got.

It’s almost “House of the Dragon” season again, which means it’s time for HBO to put everything it has into showing off the megahit series.
The Season 2 world premiere at New York’s Hammerstein Ballroom was attended by cast and crew, celebrities, press — and, as Casey Bloys noted in his opening remarks before a screening of Episode 1, members of the executive board of Warner Bros. Discovery, including C.E.O. David Zaslav.
“I’m guessing that they’ve had a couple conversations saying, ‘Where’s all that HBO money go?'” Bloys said. “And my hope is that you see it on screen tonight. The dragons are very cool, they’re very expensive, but I did ask the production team to give me an idea of what it takes to put on a season of ‘House of the Dragon’ or a show of this size.”

One thing everyone must be prepared for when it comes to the Targaryens and their family is that the customs are unconventional, to say the least. Fearing for their special abilities to bond with dragons and keeping the Iron Throne strictly within the family, Targaryen marriages have mostly occurred between close blood relatives.
Thus, Aegon II is now married to his sister Helaena, and Jacaerys and Lucerys Velaryon were both betrothed to their cousins Baela and Rhaena Targaryen. Rhaenyra and Daemon top the list of the strangest yet most powerful Targaryen marriages in the series to date. But when it comes to Targaryen love, the sky's the limit. And the show's cast knows it best.

House of the Dragon Season 2 Runtimes Could Make Up for Shorter Season - Main Image
Unlike the first season of House of the Dragon, which had ten episodes, Season 2 has been previously announced to have only eight episodes. However, the recent news on episode length may more than make up for the fewer episodes.
The premiere episode is revealed to have a runtime of 64 minutes. Its title, A Son for a Son, hints at a vengeful plot to even the odds after Rhaenyra Targaryen’s son Lucerys falls in the hands of her half-brother Aemond.
Episode 2, on the other hand, will run for a whopping 72 minutes, setting a new record as the longest of the series. This extended runtime is ten minutes longer than the average episode length of Season 1.
While House of the Dragon's shorter season may shock viewers, this is not new in the Game of Thrones universe,...

Acknowledging that a question was coming on the Wbd relationship, the Sky CEO told the Deloitte and Enders Media & Telecoms 2024 and Beyond Conference that “it’s all just about how we integrate [the two] and how we work together going forwards.”
“We work really well with Warner and we work really well together,” she added. “We are in conversations with them. Regardless, in every scenario, Sky customers will have Warner shows on Sky platforms in some way. It’s really just about how we integrate that and how we work together going forwards.”

The second season of Game of Thrones prequel House of the Dragon is less than two weeks away. House of the Dragon Season 2’s first premiere was in New York City today. The premiere will be followed by a Green Carpet featuring the show’s stars. Though traditionally, a premiere has a Red Carpet ceremony, the colour green was chosen, most likely to reflect the show’s theme and the war between the Blacks and the Greens.

With the death of King Viserys and Prince Lucerys in House of the Dragon season 1, both factions are grieving as we dive into the next season. Emotions are spilling over the edge on both sides even as they gear up for war. Daemon Targaryen, who needs to be a rock for his wife Rhaenyra, is himself falling apart as the past catches up to him.
Matt Smith claims that Daemon acts like a crazy person in the upcoming season as he is struggling to feel grief and come to terms with his brother’s death. The power struggle is secondary since in hindsight, Viserys always trusted and had confidence in Daemon. Having lost him, Daemon also feels a bit hazy about his future.

With June 16 just around the corner, Team Black and Team Green are all geared up to claim the Iron Throne. In a panel discussion to kick off the New York premiere of House of the Dragon, the cast and showrunner Ryan Condal sat down to answer some burning questions.
Talking about the looming war and the preceding power shift at King’s Landing, actress Olivia Cooke claimed that her character has been forced into early retirement. Alicent’s purpose in life, as set by her father, was to further the reputation of her house and consolidate power. Now, with her son as the King of Seven Kingdoms, she feels useless as she has achieved her purpose and now has nothing to do.
The Dowager Queen has lost a fair share of power and is struggling to find her footing. Condal further praised Cooke for her incredible work in bringing the character to life.
