Season two is set to build upon the narrative of its successor, which ended on a massive cliffhanger. The two Targaryen siblings, namely Rhaenyra and Aegon, were seemingly on the cusp of war until one of Rhaenyra’s sons was brutally murdered by Aegon’s brother. The second season will depict the aftermath of this event and will majorly highlight Rhaenyra’s response to the loss of her offspring. Picking up where season 1 left off, House of the Dragon's next chapter will dive headfirst into the devastating Targaryen civil war, known among fans as the Dance of the Dragons. It is uncertain whether Graham McTavish will reprise his role as Ser Harrold Westerling, as the character has no role in the civil war, known as the Dance of the Dragons, according to George RR Martin's book Fire and Blood.

Why can’t I build a plot in Manor Lords?

As things stand, we have a pretty solid idea of where House of the Dragon will go next. King Viserys' death late in the season saw Alicent misinterpreting his final wish to see Aegon II take the throne. Following the first major death in the season one finale, we expect the war between the Blacks and the Greens (Rhaenyra Targaryen and Alicent Hightower's allies, respectively) to kick off in full force. We've been waiting to return to Westeros for House of the Dragon season 2 for some time, and now we finally know when the series will return thanks to two new dueling trailers. We've known since earlier this month that the follow-up to "Game of Thrones" would be coming to HBO and Max this June. Perrette revealed that the show would be returning in June 2024 at Morgan Stanley’s Technology, Media and Telecom conference on March 4.

Viserys' eldest son, Aegon, has been crowned king after scheming on the part of his mother, grandfather Hand of the King Otto Hightower and (most of) the Small Council. Rhaenyra vows to take back the Iron Throne, but needs the support of other major houses. Some new faces will grace the hallways of King's Landing and the battlefields across Westeros. Simon Russell Beale joins the cast as Ser Simon Strong, the Castellan of Harrenhal and great uncle to Lord Larys Strong.

‘House of the Dragon’ season 2 release date officially revealed

House of the Dragon received a second-season greenlight way back in August 2022, after its first episode. Twenty million viewers of the premiere across all platforms was enough to prove that Game of Thrones fever hadn’t diminished since the 2019 finale of the flagship series. But HBO is known for taking its time between the first and second seasons of some of its biggest shows. Thankfully, HBO has revealed that House of the Dragon season 2 will be released on June 17. The key thing Martin has revealed in anticipation of the season 1 finale was just how long he, Condal, and HBO intended to keep the Targaryen history churning. In a blog, Martin specified that the current plan is four seasons total, with three more depicting the epic war that will shape the Westeros fans know from Game of Thrones (although it may also be an entirely different one).

Gayle Rankin (GLOW, The Greatest Showman) has been cast as Alys Rivers, a resident of Harrenhal; in the book, her character became a powerful witch and was an ally to the Greens. As for news, Ryan Condal told The Hollywood Reporter in March 2023 that filming was about to start 'very shortly' and teased "you're going to meet five new dragons" in the second season. Back in December, Thrones creator George R. R. Martin teased that the new season featured 'powerful, emotional, gut-wrenching, heart-rending. Just the sort of thing I like." (quotes via Deadline)'. And with the two new trailers that have arrived (one each for the two factions of House Targaryen, the Greens and the Blacks) we've just had a bold new taste of what's to come.

Alyn is "a sailor in the Velaryon fleet who served in the Stepstones campaign," according to Variety. HBO released an official trailer for House of the Dragon on Tuesday, July 20 which gave fans a taste of the drama that is set to unfold in Westeros. House of the Dragon is HBO's first spin-off from the flagship show, which will expand on the history of Westeros first created by George R. R. Martin in his hit fantasy book series. Following the events of House of the Dragon Season 1 and the death of King Viserys I Targaryen, the world of Westeros is heading for a full-on civil war for the Iron Throne, known by most as the "Dance of the Dragons." Once again reported by Variety, HBO CEO Casey Bloys stated a 2024 release "is a good guess" for House of the Dragon Season 2.

The trailer effectively serves as an announcement of war that is set to commence in the upcoming season. Following the death of her son, Rhaenyra Targaryen is seen contemplating the tragic incident out in the open. While every other character prepares for the fight, Princess Rhaenys’ words, foreshadowing the bloodbath that accompanies a battle between dragons, echo eerily in the background. House of the Dragon Season 2 is a spin-off series in the popular Game of Thrones franchise, created by George R. R. Martin and Ryan Condal.

Rhaenyra was attempting to stave off the fight in the season finale, intent instead on securing the support of Houses Baratheon and Arryn and the Riverlands. She sent her sons off as ambassadors, though Lucerys never managed to complete his mission. Despite making Lucerys and Jacaerys swear they would not participate in any fighting, Lucerys still met with a terrible fate at the hands of Aemond Targaryen and his dragon, Vhagar.

All the major players who survived House of the Dragon's first season will be making their return. So, expect to see more from Emma D'Arcy, Matt Smith, Rhys Ifans, Olivia Cooke, Fabien Frankel, and many more of the faces that make up House of the Dragon's ensemble cast. With that said, this series has been plotted out for four seasons, and that plan could change, but it’s unlikely that we will see the entire war take place in Season 2. Hopefully, we will at least see the inevitable showdown between Daemon and (Mini-Me) Aemond, and if that plot point follows the Fire and Blood book, both men should be very afraid. The opening chapter of the series successfully reimagined Westeros, as it would’ve existed under the Targaryens.

Further additions to the House of the Dragon season 2 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, and Vincent Regan as Ser Rickard Thorne. Kelly is the streaming channel editor for Tom’s Guide, so basically, she watches TV for a living. Previously, she was a freelance entertainment writer for Yahoo, Vulture, TV Guide and other outlets.

Serving as a prequel to the 2011 show, House of The Dragon draws inspiration from Martin’s 2018 book named Fire & Blood. Following the immense success of season one, its successor is set to drop later this year, with the majority of the cast returning to occupy their roles. HBO is keeping its cards close to its chest when it comes to House of the Dragon season 2's plot. Indeed, it hasn't released an official story synopsis for the sequel season.

He was also seen to resign from the Kingsguard in the ninth episode of the season. We now finally know when we can expect the premiere of House of the Dragon season 2 as two new epic trailers confirmed the premiere date for the much-loved spin-off of Game of Thrones. Game of Thrones' eight seasons can also be seen on these platforms so, if you want to become engrossed in more of Martin's cut-throat fantasy world, you can stream all 80 episodes on the same platforms.
