The dance of the dragons returns with the long-awaited 'House of The Dragon' Season 2, premiering after a two-year hiatus since its first season. The anticipation for the second season was immense, as the first season delighted audiences, who fervently picked sides between Team Black (Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen and her allies) and Team Green (including Queen Alicent Hightower, Aegon II Targaryen, and Aemond Targaryen), along with their formidable dragons.
The first season concluded with the tragic death of Prince Lucerys Velaryon (Rhaenyra's son) at the hands of Prince Aemond Targaryen and his dragon Vhagar. The second season's premiere dives straight into the aftermath, showcasing a devastated and vengeful Rhaenyra, portrayed by the remarkable Emma D’Arcy, as she learns of her son's death.
Despite many viewers being familiar with the storyline from the books and 'Game of Thrones,' knowing the fate of the war doesn't diminish the viewing experience.
The episode also offers glimpses of Winterfell (a treat for hardcore GoT fans), the growing bond between Alicent and Ser Criston Cole (Fabien Frankel), Aegon's carefree demeanor, and Aemond's support for his brother and house, among other things.
