Yes, friends, House Of The Dragon is back again for season 2.
Behind the scenes, the creators and masterminds of this breathtaking spectacle include none other than George R.R. Martin, Ryan Condal, and a team of visionary executive producers, all bringing to life the riveting pages of George R.R. Martin’s Fire & Blood.
We can’t wait to get stuck in about this season and have high hopes for it. The season 1 finale left off with a tragic death and the fate of war looming.
In the gripping final moments of House of the Dragon season 1, episode 9, the shocking betrayal by the Greens has thrown the Black party into turmoil. As they gather to plan their next move, tensions run high as they weigh the possibility of declaring war in response to the usurpation of the Iron Throne. The once hesitant Queen Rhaenyra finds herself facing a newfound resolve as the tragic loss of two of her children within a mere day shakes her to the core. The stakes have never been higher as the Black party grapples with the weight of their decision and the demands of vengeance in the wake of these devastating events.

House Of The Dragon: Season 2
Once upon a time in the fantastical land of Westeros, the mighty House Targaryen found itself torn asunder! Following the grand coronation of King Aegon II and the tragic demise of Queen Rhaenyra’s dear son, the ancient family tree split into two bitter factions.
In the splendid city of King’s Landing, King Aegon II took his seat upon the fabled Iron Throne, aided by the cunning Alicent and the Green Council, all sheltered under the watchful eye of the mightiest dragon in the realm.
Meanwhile, over at the rugged fortress of Dragonstone, Queen Rhaenyra and her loyal Black Council plotted their next bold move in exile. A dark cloud of civil war billowed over the kingdom as both sides vied for the support of the noble houses of Westeros, gathering armies and unleashing their fearsome dragons!
In the Season 1 finale, Aemond Targaryen (son of King Viserys and Alicent Hightower) killed Lucerys Velaryon (son of Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen), ushering in the “Dance of the Dragons,” a civil war that promises to rip the kingdom in two.

We feel like the season has a lot more to offer in terms of excitement and shock. One of the most endearing things about this show is the characters and the para-social feelings you start to have for them. They really get you to buy into the idea of their cause and entice you in.
