‘House of the Dragon’ Season 2 Trailers Prepare for War!! Check It Out!!

A new trailer for the eagerly-anticipated second season of HBO‘s House of the Dragon has just dropped and, while there’s plenty of sportsmanship on the field at the Super Bowl this evening, it doesn’t seem to be the same in Westeros as the collapse of the Targaryen family is continuing in dramatic fashion. The series, adapted from the book “Fire and Blood” by George R. R. Martin, returns later this year, and Martin has teased that the opening two episodes were “powerful, emotional, gut-wrenching and heart-rending.”

Key returning cast members are Emma D’Arcy as Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen, Matt Smith as Prince Daemon Targaryen, Olivia Cooke as Queen Alicent Hightower, Rhys Ifans as Otto Hightower, Eve Best as Princess Rhaenys Targaryen, Ewan Mitchell as Prince Aemond Targaryen, Steve Toussaint as Lord Corlys Velaryon, Fabien Frankel as Ser Criston Cole, Sonoya Mizuno as Mysaria, Graham McTavish as Ser Harrold Westerling, Matthew Needham as Larys Strong, and John MacMillan as Laenor Velaryon.

New additions to the cast include Clinton Liberty as Addam of Hull, Jamie Kenna as Ser Alfred Broome, Kieran Bew as Hugh, Tom Bennett as Ulf, Tom Taylor as Lord Cregan Stark, Vincent Regan as Ser Rickard Thorne, Abubakar Salim as Alyn of Hull, Gayle Rankin as Alys Rivers, Freddie Fox as Ser Gwayne Hightower, and Simon Russell Beale in an undisclosed role.

How Did ‘House of the Dragon’ Season 1 End?

Aegon II Targaryen’s coronation is interrupted by Princess Rhaenys on dragonback, who decides not to attack the Greens and instead flies off to Dragonstone to ally with Rhaenyra, while the episode concludes in stunning fashion and hints at the fabled “Dance of the Dragons,” a conflict between dragonriders, highlighted by the tragic death of Rhaenyra’s son, Lucerys, in a confrontation with Prince Aemond and his dragon Vhagar. This event signals the possible onset of war, with Rhaenyra initially reluctant but likely forced into conflict due to her son’s death.

House of the Dragon returns to HBO this summer. Season 1 is streaming now on Max. Check out the new dueling trailers for the series below.
