House of the Dragon Season 2 Reveals Exciting First-Look Posters Ahead of Highly-Anticipated Trailer
HBO's thrilling tweet announces the highly-anticipated release of a captivating 75-second trailer for House of the Dragon Season 2, heightening excitement for the upcoming drama
The first trailer for the Game of Thrones prequel, House of the Dragon, will be released on Saturday, as announced on the official X (formerly Twitter) accounts for both shows. Fans can also get a sneak peek at Olivia Cooke's Alicent Hightower and Emma D'Arcy's Rhaenyra Targaryen through recently revealed character posters, giving a glimpse into the impending war in the series.
The posters depict the aftermath of Season 1's finale, which included a major death, and tease Rhaenyra and Alicent's calls for "blood for blood" and "fire to fire." The upcoming trailer on Saturday is expected to provide a more in-depth look than these images.
House of the Dragon, with showrunner Ryan Condal at the helm, delves into the harrowing Dance of the Dragons, a prolonged and devastating conflict from the history of Westeros that left the Targaryen dynasty in shambles. The first season laid the foundation for the impending turmoil, as Rhaenyra's claim to the Iron Throne was contested by Aegon II Targaryen, orchestrated by the Hand of the King, Otto Hightower. Warning: Season 1 spoilers ahead. The tragic event of Aemond Targaryen losing control of his dragon Vhagar, resulting in the death of Rhaenyra's son Lucerys, sets the stage for heightened tension in Season 2, slated to premiere in "early summer" of 2024.
The stellar ensemble cast, including Matt Smith, Eve Best, Steve Toussaint, and more, are all set to reprise their roles for the upcoming season.
