The trailer for the second season of ‘House of the Dragon’ is finally here, promising a thrilling journey into the heart of Westeros. The trailer reveals a brewing war of succession between half-siblings Rhaenyra Targaryen, played by Emma D’Arcy, and Aegon II Targaryen, portrayed by Tom Glynn-Carney.
Aegon currently sits atop the Iron Throne, advised by his mother Alicent Hightower, played by Olivia Cooke, and grandfather Otto Hightower, portrayed by Rhys Ifans. However, Rhaenyra and her uncle-husband Daemon, played by Matt Smith, are planning to retaliate from Dragonstone.
The trailer teases several of the battles we can expect as Rhaenyra and Aegon’s forces clash, especially the airborne ones. We see Aegon riding his dragon Sunfyre, Aemond on Vhagar, and Rhaenys, played by Eve Best, on Meleys. The forecast is fiery, folks.
But if you’re looking for ice, you’re in luck: The trailer also gives us a quick peek at Rhaenyra’s son Jacaerys, played by Harry Collett, palling around with Cregan Stark, portrayed by Tom Taylor, in the North. That’s right — we’re going back to Winterfell this season.
Season 2 of ‘House of the Dragon’ premieres June 16 on HBO and Max. Prepare for a season filled with power struggles, fiery battles, and a return to the icy North.
