HBO has revealed the first posters and trailer for the second season of House of the Dragon, promising blood for blood as Queen Rhaenyra begins the battle for her throne and vengeance for the family she has lost. Check out the posters and watch the trailer below…
Season 2 will pick up where the first season left off as the Targaryen family has split over who should rule the rule after the passing of King Viserys with Queen Rhaenyra on one side as the rightful heir Viserys chose and King Aegon, Rhaenyra’s half-brother, on the other led by the manipulations of the Queen mother Alicent Hightower and her father Otto Hightower, the Hand of the King. There was a stalemate between the two forces as they were negotiating, rallying allies and cutting off supplies, but in the final moments of the season one finale Ageon’s brother Aemond indirectly murdered Prince Luke, Rhaenyra’s second son, in a move that spells outright war in Westeros.
Based on George R.R. Martin’s “Fire & Blood,” the series, which is set 200 years before the events of “Game of Thrones,” tells the story of House Targaryen.
