With the second season of House of the Dragon less than two months away, HBO is stoking the fire by releasing a brand new trailer for the series’ anticipated return, which asks the cast to defend their council as the rightful heir to the Iron Throne.
House of the Dragon takes place nearly 200 years before Game of Thrones and follows the famous Dance of Dragons, a civil war within the Targaryen family between Rhaenyra Targaryen and her half-brother Aegon as they both vie for the Iron Throne and the right to rule the Seven Kingdoms per their late father’s wishes. The battle divides the realm like no other conflict and has terrible long-lasting consequences for the realm and the Targaryen dynasty.
