The winter edition of London Comic Con went down over the past weekend, with guests like Doctor Who's Ncuti Gatwa and Good Omens' Michael Sheen in attendance. Also present were several actors from HBO's Game of Thrones spinoff series House of the Dragon: Clinton Liberty (Addam of Hull), Tom Bennett (Ulf White), Kieran Bew (Hugh Hammer) and Theo Nate.

Liberty, Bennet and Bew play the dragonseeds, peasants who have become dragon-riders after Rhaenyra Targaryen arranged for them to try their luck at mounting the riderless dragons on Dragonstone. (Would that the dozens of other people who took a swing at it had their kind of luck.) Clinton Liberty uploaded a picture of the whole House of the Dragon crew together at the con on his Instagram:

Top 5 Best House of the Dragon Episodes ( Photo Credit – Instagram )

Ready to fire up your dragons and dive into Westeros? We’re counting down the top five episodes of House of the Dragon that made us wish we had our dragon. Sure, the season two finale, ‘The Queen Who Ever Was,’ had its jaw-dropping moments—like Daemon’s epic dream and the Rhaenyra-Alicent showdown—but let’s be honest: it left us hanging harder than a dragon caught in a storm.

While it didn’t quite hit the high notes of Game of Thrones, House of the Dragon still has some blazing-hot episodes that reign supreme. Buckle up and prepare for a fiery ride through the best of the Targaryen saga!

The other week, A Song of Ice and Fire author George R.R. Martin openly criticized House of the Dragon, HBO's Game of Thrones prequel show, expressing an especial amount of concern over how the series is deviating from its source material: his book Fire & Blood. In response, HBO dropped a surprise episode of its House of the Dragon podcast where showrunner Ryan Condal talked through why he changed certain things from the book. Yes, the author of Fire & Blood and the man running the TV adaptation are in a shadow feud. I didn't expect this but I am, at minimum, entertained now that it's happening.

It's true that the second season of House of the Dragon made a ton of changes to the source material, many of which didn't go over well with fans. But there were a few changes that viewers mostly enjoyed. The Battle of Rook's Rest went over well,...

House of the Dragon season 2 may have ended, but we're still feasting on morsels of behind-the-scenes footage and production details weeks later. One of the latest tidbits comes from Rodeo FX, a digital effects company which worked on the show. They've just released a breakdown of some of the effects work they did for season 2, which includes shots of Baela Targaryen's dragon Moondancer, the Wall, the towering buildings of King's Landing, Jacaerys Velaryon's dragon Vermax, and the huge dragon Silverwing.

It's always interesting to get a glimpse behind the curtain for these effects-heavy prestige TV shows, and that's doubly true for a show groundbreaking effects like House of the Dragon. Watch below:

There's a lot of good stuff in this reel, but what stood out the most to me was Baela Targaryen (Bethany Antonia) flying on her dragon Moondancer.

(This article contains spoilers for House of the Dragon Season 2, Episodes 1-2, 3-4, 5, 6, and 7.)

Rhaenyra’s (Emma D’Arcy) new dragonriders, Ulf (Tom Bennett), Hugh (Kieran Bew) and Addam (Clinton Liberty) adjust to life in Dragonstone. House Lannister knight Ser Tyland (Jefferson Hall) treats with pirates. Rhaena (Phoebe Campbell) continues her search for a wild dragon in the Vale of Arryn. Aemond (Ewan Mitchell), shook by the discovery of Rhaenyra’s fresh dragon army, tries to even the playing field. Daemon’s (Matt Smith) allegiances are decided. Alicent (Olivia Cooke) makes a choice for her family’s future.

According to showrunner Ryan Condal, “The final episode is such a great build for everywhere we’ve been in Season 2 and promising what’s to come.” Audiences are pushing back on that after the highly anticipated finale didn’t deliver on the action-based climax we were expecting.

House of the Dragon initially thrilled viewers with its rich storytelling and political intrigue, serving as a worthy successor to Game of Thrones. The first season of the show was well-acclaimed, but the recently concluded season 2 failed to capture the magic. While the storyline seemed disjointed to many, the season also introduced several new faces with different arcs.

One such face was Tom Bennett, who went on board to play Ulf White. While there are several elements about the character that caused intrigue amongst the viewers, Bennett, on the other hand, had to eat 30 birds in a scene to bring the character to life.

Eating 30 Quail Birds in a Single Day Left Tom Bennett Physically Sick

Tom Bennett’s role as Ulf White in the latest season of House of the Dragon has certainly made waves. Introduced as one of the fresh faces,...

Very few people are having a good time living in Westeros during “House of the Dragon” Season 2 but Tom Bennett is glad Ulf the White is one of them.

Bennett told TheWrap that his character’s immediate clashes with the royalty of Dragonstone comes because Ulf’s “one of the few characters that ever smiles let alone laughs.”

“Ulf sticks out like a sore thumb,” he said. “I’m definitely enjoying it because I know the other actors would love to do what I get to do, but they don’t. They have to be prim and proper and have to say the correct things to the queen and have deference. I don’t have to do any of that.”

Ulf was one of the lucky few dragonseeds in Season 2’s penultimate episode to be selected by a dragon – Silverwing, who Bennett called “the prettiest dragon in Westeros.” The Targaryen...

Spoiler Alert !!!Spoiler Warning for House of the Dragon Season 2 Episode 7 & 8

House of the Dragon wrapped up its second season with what seemed like an eight-episode trailer for Season 3. Regardless, fans are more dismayed over one thing the show could have used as a stronger end note for the series.

Remember Rhaenyra Targaryen with Syrax, Vermithor, and Silverwing at the end of Episode 7? This should have been the final scene in the season finale according to many viewers.

After eight exciting episodes, House of the Dragon Season 2 ended with its August 4, 2024 finale. The HBO fantasy drama, which started as a prequel to Game of Thrones, has been able to carve its own niche with its thrilling narrative.

Now that season 2 has ended, and the show has already been renewed for another instalment, fans can’t help but wonder what’s in store for House of the Dragon Season 3. Let’s find out.

House of the Dragon Season 3: Potential Release Date

Though HBO greenlit the third season of House of the Dragon before the season 2 premiere, fans still have to endure a long wait before they set their sights on the dragon dance. Each show in the series takes a long time to produce due to the huge...

“House of the Dragon” hit a Season 2 high in viewership with Sunday’s finale, which drew 8.9 million multiplatform viewers across HBO and Max, per Warner Bros. Discovery.

That’s up 14% from the Season 2 premiere night, which garnered 7.8 million viewers. However, it is down from the audience size for the first season finale of “House of the Dragon” in 2022.

After premiering with 10 million viewers in June 2022, “House of the Dragon” Season 1 hit its peak with Episode 2, reaching 10.2 million. Exact data was not made available for Episodes 3-9, but Episode 10 closed the season with 9.3 million viewers.

Warner Bros. Discovery attributed the season opener declines to a drop in linear viewing, as fewer viewers now watch on HBO’s cable channel. But on the flip side, the conglom reports that Sunday’s “House of the Dragon” finale has now led to the biggest streaming day ever for Max, both in the U.S.

Did you find yourself a little disappointed with the House of the Dragon season 2 finale? You weren’t alone on that front.

Season two’s final episode appeared to stop just short of some real action. While Daemon resolved his family issues and Rhaenyra and Alicent resolved…whatever it is they have going on, the Dance of the Dragons civil war appeared to be stuck in a holding pattern on House of the Dragon.

Still, the final five minutes of the season 2 finale do act as a sort of sizzle reel for the action to come in season 3 as we see several armies and navies advance across the Westerosi landscape to parts unknown. With that in mind, let’s take stock of all the various factions on the board,...

The House of the Dragon Season 2 finale is almost (officially) here.

In Season 1, House of the Dragon introduced us to Targaryen, Hightower, and Velaryon families — all hungry for a spot on or around the Iron Throne. The series, based on George R.R. Martin’s 2018 book Fire & Blood, is set about 200 years before the events of Game of Thrones. Without spoiling anything,...

Tensions are high between the Greens and the Blacks as we approach the season 2 finale of House of the Dragon. Rhaenyra (Emma D’Arcy) may have finally found a solution to her dragon problem. Daemon (Matt Smith) may have met his match with the young Ser Oscar Tully (Archie Barnes), but still finds himself with the Riverlands secured for Team Black. Alicent (Olivia Cooke) is at the end of her rope and takes some time in the woods for some R&r while King Aegon II (Tom Glynn-Carney) is pushed to recover as soon as he can.

As things continue to heat up, here’s everything you need to know before the epic House of the Dragon season 2 finale, including when and where to watch.

House of the Dragon season 2 has pretty much neared its end, with its season finale right around the corner. And, of course, a lot of questions are yet to be answered through this final episode, episode 8. But while the other character-related queries are one thing, the recently released episode 7, The Red Sowing, is further raising the stakes for the saga.

This stands even more true after the recent turn of events which had fans pointing out one crucial hidden detail about dragon Silverwing in the saga. And after the events that happened in episode 7 regarding all the dragons that were claimed by their respective dragon riders, this hidden detail is actually setting the stakes really high for the final episode.

Warning: This article contains spoilers for the latest episode of "House of the Dragon."

Both "Game of Thrones" and "House of the Dragon" have cultivated fascinating relationships with their respective source material. The former infamously outpaced the publication of author George R.R. Martin's fantasy series titled "A Song of Ice and Fire," flying off a cliff like Wile E. Coyote once it exhausted the books at its disposal and forced to build the rest of its runway in midair flight ... and, yeah, you remember how that ended. The latter, meanwhile, came with the baggage of a thoroughly unconventional book to adapt. "Fire & Blood" is the furthest thing from a traditional novel, instead chronicling the feats of the Targaryen dynasty in Westeros from the perspective of an in-universe historian. Reliant on fictional secondhand sources and a mix of conjecture and personal bias, the author paints a broad portrait of historical events centuries after the fact.

This article contains spoilers for House of the Dragon season 2 episode 7 and details for Fire & Blood.

There’s just one episode left in House of the Dragon season 2, and while the Greens have the might of Vhagar and the unhinged Aemond Targaryen (Ewan Mitchell), the Blacks have just added some (literal) firepower to their team in the form of some new dragonseeds. Those who’ve read George R.R. Martin’s Fire & Blood Targaryen history will know the Red Sowing is an important part of the war, with Rhaenyra Targaryen (Emma D’Arcy) recruiting Targaryen bastards to her cause.

There have been some notable gaps in the dragonrider count recently, with the absence of Laenor Velaryon (John Macmillan) leaving Seasmoke riderless while Vermithor and Silverwing lurked in Dragonstone’s Dragonmount. Episode 7 “The Red Sowing” saw Hugh Hammer (Kieran Bew) claim Verminthor as his own during one of the show’s bloodiest scenes.

Warning: This article discusses major spoilers for the latest episode of "House of the Dragon," the book "Fire & Blood," and potentially future episodes of the series. Seriously. Here are more bold words to warn you about spoilers. 

You may have noticed that season 2 of "House of the Dragon" has been something of a slow burn thus far, slowly ramping up the tension between different factions of House Targaryen until everyone's hit their breaking point -- or simply become exceedingly desperate. Rhaenyra (Emma D'Arcy) and the rest of Team Black have officially reached their limit in that regard, answering Team Green's superior numbers and strength on the field by flying headfirst into one of the most dangerous and ill-advised gambits the Seven Kingdoms have ever seen. The dragon riders storyline has been carefully set up over the last few episodes, positioning various contenders across the continent who might happen to possess...

[This story contains spoilers from House of the Dragon season two, episode seven, “The Red Sowing.”]

It’s not often in the Game of Thrones universe when a smallfolk character gets to take center stage and have an episode-ending hero moment. But that’s what happened in Sunday night’s episode of HBO’s House of the Dragon, when tavern dweller and Targaryen bastard hopeful Ulf White won the dragon lotto by bonding with Silverwing.

Interestingly, the journey of British actor Tom Bennett has been not entirely unlike that of his character. Bennett has been a working actor for 20 years in productions such as PhoneShop, Love & Friendship and Rocketman. But getting cast in Dragon was easily his most high-profile role — and not the first time he had auditioned for the franchise.

Below, Bennett talks about stepping into the spotlight in episode seven, his character’s journey this season and how the franchise is taking a...

[Warning: The following contains Major spoilers for House of the Dragon Season 2 Episode 7, “The Red Sowing.”] Rhaenyra has found her dragonriders. In true Game of Thrones fashion, House of the Dragon delivered its most exciting episode of the season one week before its finale, at last putting Rhaenyra’s (Emma D’Arcy) theory about dragonseeds to the ultimate test. She and Mysaria (Sonoya Mizuno) were right that Targaryen bastards could be accepted by a dragon, but not all. Many lives were lost in the search for riders for Vermithor and Silverwing. But found, they were. Just like in George R.R. Martin’s Fire & Blood, there are now three dragonriders: Addam of Hull (Clinton Liberty), Hugh (Kieran Bew), and Ulf (Tom Bennett). Addam was chosen by Seasmoke in Episode 6 and was recognized by his father, Corlys (Steve Toussaint), in Episode 7 for the first time because of it. Here, Liberty breaks down what this means for Addam and older brother...

Upon learning that the dragonseeds need not necessarily be highborn, Rhaenyra put out the call in King’s Landing for all bastards with Valyrian blood to come to Dragonstone and attempt to bond with one of the remaining dragons. The ones who come find the Sowing to be a bloody affair — until finally, the queen has some luck.

Editor’s Note: The following post contains spoilers for “House of the Dragon” Season 2, up to and including Episode 7.

Any “Game of Thrones” fan knows the significance of a penultimate episode. From “Baelor” to “The Rains of Castamere” to “Hardhome” and more, the world of Westeros holds nothing back ahead of its finale, and “House of the Dragon” Season 2 joins that noble tradition.

Episode 7, written by David Hancock and directed by Loni Peristere, spends half of its runtime on exposition — and the other half auditioning dragon riders for Rhaenyra (Emma D’Arcy) to win back the high ground in her family’s civil war. The hour contains some stunning score work from Ramin Djawadi and shots by cinematographer Vanja Cernjul, and an A story anchored by D’Arcy’s performance and Rhaenyra’s drive.

This episode felt very long, and it’s not because of the extended sowing sequence toward the end,...

Spoiler Alert: This story contains spoilers for HBO’s “House of the Dragon” Season 2, Episode 7, titled “The Red Sowing,” now streaming on Max.

In the closing moments of Sunday’s episode of “House of the Dragon,” Rhaenyra Targaryen (Emma D’Arcy) finally got the upper hand on the Greens with the stunning reveal that she has found three new dragonriders to join the Blacks’ cause: Hugh (Kieran Bew), Ulf (Tom Bennett) and Addam of Hull (Clinton Liberty) — one of the illegitimate sons of her Hand, Corlys Velaryon (Steve Toussaint).

The news was revealed (loudly) to Rhaenyra’s brother Aemond (Ewan Mitchell), the prince regent, while their brother King Aegon (Tom Glynn-Carney) is in recovery, when Aemond sees a dragon flying over King’s Landing — and then heads over to Dragonstone on his massive dragon, Vhagar. Upon arriving at Rhaenyra’s base, Aemond turns around, realizing that even his fearsome beast is...

This article contains spoilers for House of the Dragon season 2 episode 6 and details from Fire & Blood that will spoil future moments of the show.

The Blacks are facing a big problem on House of the Dragon. Their ancestral seat of Dragonstone is teeming with dragons and yet they’re running low on Targaryens to actually ride them to war.

Thankfully, in season 2 episode 5 “Regent,” Queen Rhaenyra (Emma D’Arcy) and Prince Jacaerys (Harry Collett) dream up an ingenious solution: dragonseeds. Due to the Targaryen family’s prolific sexual appetites, there are plenty folks in the Seven Kingdoms who have a little bit of the “blood of the dragon” in them even if they don’t have a Targaryen surname. Perhaps Rhaenyra’s supporters can track down some of these folks and see how they take to the skies.

It’s a solid plan, but will it work? Who are these dragonrider...

[Warning: The following contains Major spoilers for House of the Dragon Season 2 Episode 5, “Regent.”] Rhaenyra is getting creative in her war efforts in House of the Dragon. Inspired by a conversation with son Jace (Harry Collett) in Season 2 Episode 5, Rhaenyra (Emma D’Arcy) is now exploring the possibility of finding dragonriders in Targaryen descendants. The episode’s final scene may have just made a moment from Episode 3, plus other new side characters introduced this season, make sense. A new House of the Dragon character, Ulf, made his drunken debut in Episode 3, “The Burning Mill.” HBO announced Ulf as one of the new characters in Season 2 prior to the season’s release. Played by Tom Bennett, he made his debut in the third episode. While sitting in a brothel tavern, Ulf claimed to be the son of Baelon the Brave, a.k.a. the bastard brother of Daemon (Matt Smith) and Viserys (Paddy Considine) and bastard grandson of King Jaehaerys Targaryen.

Tread carefully: This article contains spoilers for the latest episode of "House of the Dragon" and spoilers for the book, "Fire & Blood."

If the ending of "House of the Dragon" season 2, episode 5, titled "Regent," is anything to go by, the next stage of the Dance of the Dragons is about to kick into gear, and it may forever alter the balance of power in the Seven Kingdoms. Those who've found themselves wishing for "more action" throughout this deliberately-paced season 2 so far could end up regretting those words -- especially since, as we've seen, adding more dragons into the mix tends to come with dire results. Unfortunately, the main issue facing Team Black is an alarming lack of firepower to compete with the might of the one-eyed Aemond (Ewan Mitchell) and his fearsome beast Vhagar, particularly following the loss of Princess Rhaenys (Eve Best) and her dragon Meleys in the Battle at Rook's Rest.

“House of the Dragon” drew 8.1 million viewers across HBO and Max in the U.S. for its fiery fourth episode of Season 2 on Sunday, just besting the audience size for the premiere last month.

On June 16, “House of the Dragon” debuted its second season to 7.8 million viewers, putting the Season 2 premiere 22% below the 10 million viewers that the “Game of Thrones” prequel series launched to in 2022.

Per Warner Bros. Discovery, the premiere of “House of the Dragon” Season 2 is now approaching 25 million viewers, and catch-up viewing over the Fourth of July holiday led “House of the Dragon” Season 2 to its “strongest week yet” on Max between July 1-7.

The latest episode of House of the Dragon Season 2 has stirred a significant discussion among fans about potentially tarnishing the esteemed reputation of a noble Targaryen. The character in question here is Baelon Targaryen, the fourth child of King Jaehaerys I and the father of King Viserys I Targaryen.

The latest episode of Ryan Condal’s series alludes to revelations about his past, suggesting the existence of a bastard son. However, fans are finding it difficult to accept such a possibility, expressing their opinions on the matter extensively across social media platforms.

House of the Dragon‘s world gets even bigger in season 2. With the Dance of the Dragons Targaryen civil war now in motion, the “Blacks” (Queen Rhaenyra I’s supporters) and the “Greens” (King Aegon II’s supporters) must enlist the other Great Houses of Westeros to their cause.

This means that many of the characters we’ve gotten to know thus far, Prince Jacaerys (Harry Collett), Prince Aemond (Ewan Mitchell), Ser Criston (Fabian Frankel), and more, will hit the road to recruit nobles like college football coaches in need of a star quarterback.

“People have to curry favor with the other lords and figure out who’s on what team,” House of the Dragon showrunner Ryan Condal told Den of Geek. “It’s nice because instead of just introducing 18 new characters, we follow characters who we already know going to these new places and meeting new people.”

Condal is exaggerating a bit.

We don't have to wonder if House of Dragon will be cancelled right now since the HBO series has already been renewed for a third season. Will it have a long run or end with season three? Stay tuned.

A fantasy series, the House of the Dragon TV show is based on George R.R. Martin’s Fire & Blood novel and is a prequel to Game of Thrones. It stars Matt Smith, Emma D’Arcy, Olivia Cooke, Rhys Ifans, Steve Toussaint, Eve Best, Fabien Frankel, Matthew Needham, Sonoya Mizuno, Tom Glynn-Carney, Ewan Mitchell, Harry Collett, Bethany Antonia, Phoebe Campbell, Phia Saban and Jefferson Hall.

Demonstrating the formidable strength of HBO’s “Game of Thrones” empire, the network has renewed “House of the Dragon” for Season 3, in advance of its Season 2 premiere on June 16.

The “Game of Thrones” spinoff series — co-created by Ryan Condal and “Thrones” author George R.R. Martin — has proven to be a fire-breathing hit for the network. The show enjoyed the biggest premiere audience ever for an original series for both HBO and HBO Max (now Max), and the first season averaged 29 million viewers an episode over linear and streaming.

The news is not a surprise. House of the Dragon creator George R.R. Martin teased in December 2023 that he was already working with the writing team on Seasons 3 and 4 of the fantasy drama.

Based on Martin’s Fire & Blood and set 200 years before the events of Game of Thrones, House of the Dragon tells the story of House Targaryen.

“George, Ryan, and the rest of our incredible executive producers, cast, and crew, have reached new heights with the phenomenal second season of House of the Dragon,” said Francesca Orsi, Executive Vice President, HBO Programming, Head of HBO Drama Series and Films. “We are in awe of the dragon-sized effort the entire team has put into the creation of a spectacular season two, with a scope and scale that is only rivaled by its heart.

Martin’s mythical made-up* monsters loomed large over the capital this evening for the Premiere for House of the Dragon Season 2, the latest slice of the prequel series to Game of Thrones.

Based on George R.R. Martin’s Fire & Blood and set 200 years before the events of Game of Thrones, the series tells the story of House Targaryen. The returning cast includes Matt Smith, Olivia Cooke, Emma D’Arcy, Eve Best, Steve Toussaint, Fabien Frankel, Ewan Mitchell, Tom Glynn-Carney, Sonoya Mizuno, and Rhys Ifans. Additional returning cast includes Harry Collett, Bethany Antonia, Phoebe Campbell, Phia Saban, Jefferson Hall, and Matthew Needham.

New cast members are 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, and Vincent Regan as Ser Rickard Thorne. Previously announced new season two cast includes Abubakar Salim as Alyn of Hull,...

The hectic inaugural season of House of the Dragon covered roughly 20 years as the long-standing peace under King Viserys came to an end. In the season’s final two episodes, the series found its footing, establishing the parallel claims to the throne between the Black faction that follows Viserys’s appointed heir, daughter Rhaenyra Targaryen (Emma D’Arcy), and the Green faction under Rhaenyra’s former best friend, Alicent Hightower (Olivia Cooke), who follow Alicent and Viserys’s young, impetuous son Aegon II (Tom Glynn-Carney).

All the table setting and time jumping that dominated the better part of the first season have, perhaps inevitably, set the stage for a much stronger second season for House of the Dragon. It’s also, especially for a Game of Thrones property, surprisingly restrained. The first four episodes made available to press cover only a few weeks, and the entire opening episode, “A Son for a Son,...

*House Of The Dragon S1 Spoilers Ahead*

If we had a nickel for every time a trailer for the second season of a big budget fantasy series based on an iconic book series released on a Tuesday in mid-May, we’d have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it happened twice, right? Yes folks, within mere hours of the first teaser for The Rings Of Power Season 2 dropping yesterday, HBO fired back with its own fancy new trailer for House Of The Dragon’s second season. And sure enough, there be dragons. Check it out below:

As you may recall, Season 1’s breathless finale saw Aemond Targaryen’s (Ewan Mitchell) dragon Vhagar brutally kill his half-sister Rhaenyra’s (Emma D’Arcy) son Lucerys (Elliot Grihault). Families, eh? Unsurprisingly, Rhaenyra’s none-too-happy about Aemond’s heinous deed, and in this new trailer things are hotting up...

HBO has released the first full-length trailer for House of the Dragon season 2 (via SFFGazette.com), and brace yourselves because it's epic. In the newly released footage, we see more of the scheming which continues in Westeros as war beckons between Queen Alicent Hightower and Queen Rhaenyra Targaryen.

The Targaryen civil war known as the "Dance of the Dragons" is nearly upon us and this sneak peek does a phenomenal job of setting the stage for the conflict to come.

All the major players are highlighted, with the sneak peek ending on a suitably epic note as Rhaenyra stands tall with Syrax looming large behind her. Who will prevail? Book readers (and most Game of Thrones fans) will know, but we won't spoil anything here,

"The first season was so much about the royal family, that 1 percent of the upper 1 percent that rules this world. All the people in the...

On Tuesday, HBO released the full trailer for “House of the Dragon” Season 2, which premieres June 16.

The eight-episode second season of the “Game of Thrones” prequel finds the Targaryens in a civil war, with the Greens – supporters of Aegon II Targaryn (Tom Glynn-Carney), son of late king Viserys Targaryen (Paddy Considine) and Alicent Hightower (Olivia Cooke) and the traditional heir – on one side, and the Blacks – partisans of Viserys’ daughter Rhaenyra (Emma D’Arcy), Viserys’ chosen heir, and her husband/uncle Daemon Targaryen (Matt Smith) on the other. Both sides claim the Iron Throne, and they will kill their kin to get it.

The trailer previews the combination of political strategy, intense action, and interpersonal backstabbing that’s the “Game of Thrones” franchise’s signature. On the political side, there’s a small council meeting where Aegon forcefully rejects the idea of dignity in favor of revenge. On the action side,...

In October of 2022, the first season of House of the Dragon left audiences with a sense of impending war as Queen Rhaenyra Targaryen found herself laced with rage and coming to a decision to battle for the throne. The second season suffered some delay due to last year’s dual union strikes, but wait no more. The new trailer from HBO prepares you for the inevitable war as both houses are preparing for the grand-scale conflict and lines are about to be drawn. House of the Dragon is set to premiere on Sunday, June 16 (9:00-10:00 p.m. Et/Pt) on HBO and available to stream on Max.

The returning cast from the first season of House of the Dragon includes Matt Smith, Olivia Cooke, Emma D’Arcy, Eve Best, Steve Toussaint, Fabien Frankel, Ewan Mitchell, Tom Glynn-Carney, Sonoya Mizuno, and Rhys Ifans. Additional returning cast includes Harry Collett, Bethany Antonia,...

All hail the king ... or the queen! Which one has the rightful claim, you ask? Well, that depends on which side you happen to have sworn allegiance to in the great Targaryen schism known as the Dance of the Dragons.

"House of the Dragon" lived up to its billing as an essential "Game of Thrones" prequel, set hundreds of years before Jon Snow and Daenerys Targaryen ever made their claims on the Iron Throne. The events of the mythic Targaryen civil war always loomed large in the background of the original HBO series, but never before had we seen the fire, blood, and (of course) incest depicted with as much fervor as the 10 episodes that comprised its debut season. With all the major players fully established and the stakes set impossibly high, season 2 now has a full runway to double down on our favorite royal squabble and dive deep into...
