Just over two weeks before theGame of Thronesspin-off returns to the Sunday night slot, HBO has offered a new look at the Targaryens, Velaryons, Strongs, and Hightowers. The officialHouse of the DragonX account (@HouseofDragon) released new posters forHouse of the DragonSeason 2, which featureHarry Collett’s Jace Velaryon,Sonoya Mizuno’s Mysaria aka The White Worm,Bethany Antonia’s Baela Targaryen, andPhoebe Campbell’s Rhaena Targaryen of Team Black. The Targaryen and Velaryon houses have been left in ruins following theSeason 1 finale, and each member of Team Black featured in this new batch of posters looks ready to exact vengeance.
On the Green side,Rhys Ifan’s Otto Hightower,Matthew Needham’s Larys Strong, andPhia Saban’s Queen Helaena Targaryen also received posters. As with most Westerosi conflicts,the battle between Team Green and Team Blackis hardly black and white. Season 1 concluded with Aemond Targaryen murdering Princess Rhaenyra’s son, Luke Velaryon, and with someone like Daemon Targaryen (Matt Smith) on the side of Team Black, it’s impossible to rule out him doing something drastic for revenge.House of the Dragonaired its Season 1 finale on October 23, and now less than two years later, fans are ready to return to Westeros for more palace intrigue and battles for the Iron Throne.
‘House of the Dragon’ Season 2 Picks Up Shortly After Season 1
It was recently revealed thatHouse of the DragonSeason 2 will resume 10 days after the Season 1 finale. This will be a breath of fresh air for fans who had to sit through multiple large jumps in Season 1, including some instances of three actors playing the same character. The final shot in Season 1 was ofEmma D’Arcy’s Rhaenyra, learning that her son Luke had been murdered on his way home from Storm’s End. 10 days is hardly an adequate period of grief, and with the second season picking up so soon after the conclusion of the first, fans can expect to see both sides still dealing with the immediate fallout of Luke’s murder. While most ofHouse of the DragonSeason 1 took place either in Kings Landing, Dragonstone, or the occasional visit to the Step Stones,previous trailershave shown officonic locations such as Winterfellthat Season 2 will visit for the first time since theGame of Thronesfinale in 2019.
House of the DragonSeason 2 premieres on June 16. Check out the new posters above and catch up on the first season, now streaming onMax.
