The first season House of the Dragon produced by the HBO broadcaster and available on Sky and the Now TV streaming platform, it turned out to be at least on par with the mother series, Game of Thrones: The story takes place a full 300 years before viewers know it, and closely follows the rise and fall of the Targaryen family, who ruled the kingdom for generations. The final episode of the first season saw a lot of action and a lot of events unfolding quickly: the son of Rhaenyra Targaryen (played by Emma D’Arcy), Lucerys Velaryonwas devoured by the dragon Vhagar Of Aemond Targaryen after the latter had lost control of the beast.
The final scene of the season saw Rhaenyra angry and teary-eyed to receive the news of her son’s death, anticipating the Dance of Dragons to take place in season two.

The second season of the spin-off of Game of Thrones, critically acclaimed, is expected to consist of 8 episodes, with a potential third and fourth season on the horizon. For now, Season 2 will show the early days of the Dance of Dragons and the ongoing conflict between Rhaenyra e Alicent Hightower (Olivia Cooke).
The Game of Thrones photo is a fitting way to introduce Season 2 of House of the Dragon, as it focuses on the rightful ruler of Westeros. Season 1 episode 9 saw Alicent help his son Aegon Targaryento become ruler of the Kingdom of Seven after misinterpreting the words of Viserys deathbed. This action questioned the post of Rhaenyra on the Throne, which had been promised to her by her father long before his death.
The tragic event mentioned at the beginning of the article will serve as a major catalyst for the Dance of Dragons, which in turn will unleash a bloody war across Westeros. With a second season likely to have just 8 episodes compared to the debut season’s 10, the series of events is likely to be tight and engaging.
Viewers of Game of Thrones they already know that the Dance of the Dragons leads to the death of all dragons in Westeros before the arrival of Daenerys Targaryen. However, for those who have only watched the spin-off, it is unclear how the tragedy of the Civil War will play out and who will become the victor. Many more dark surprises will present themselves to viewers when the second season of House of the Dragon will show the start of the Targaryen War in full swing.
