After the long wait of nearly two years, our favorite epic fantasy political drama is back, and this time with even more dragons. It has been more than five years since Game of Thrones ended and no other series has been able to replace the hole it left in the television space until its prequel series House of the Dragon came out to reclaim its fans and apologize to its fans for the terrible Season 8 of Got. Now we are finally getting the second season of the fan-favorite HBO series.
Based on Fire & Blood by author George R. R. Martin, the HBO series is created by Ryan Condal and R. R. Martin. House of the Dragon’s story is set 200 years before the events of Game of Thrones and it follows the story of a devastating war of succession between two Targaryen siblings after the death of their father.

Matt Smith may play a fan-favorite Targaryen right now, but there was another Targaryen descendant who has always had fan support for being the best Game of Thrones character. Fans may get riled up for that exact reason at Smith’s recent comments on who would win a battle between Daemon Targaryen and Jon Snow. Smith shared that Daemon would emerge victorious over Kit Harington’s Jon Snow in such a scenario.

Such a fight would never take place in the Game of Thrones universe because of the 200-year gap between the storylines. However, Smith shared that his character’s ownership of the large red dragon Caraxes would make him a clear winner over Jon Snow.

The first season of House of the Dragon did an outstanding job of rounding up everything we’ve grown to appreciate about the Game of Thrones franchise. Dragons, without a doubt, shined brightly, but the show’s most significant components were emotions such as love, passion, desire, sadness, and dread, as well as violence and betrayal. And there will be loads of everything we’ve mentioned so far in Season 2.
Emma D’Arcy teases turmoil in Daemon-Rhaenyra’s relationship
As Westeros gets embroiled under the shadows of war, Daemon and Rhaenyra’s relationship takes a hit. D’Arcy’s Rhaenyra is grieving after the death of her father and son. In a recent interview with Av Club, D’Arcy explained, “I don’t know if they can find solace in each other in the losses. I don’t feel like Daemon can share his experience of losing his brother, so there is a dislocation taking place.

The Game of Thrones series finale was one of the most controversial endings in TV history. The HBO fantasy series saw many prominent character arcs sacrificed in favor of a sensational ending, leading to many fans’ ire. Even the final battle with the White Walkers that the season teased was done away with by episode 3.
However, author George R.R. Martin, whose books inspired the show had a completely different plan for the story’s ending. In a letter to his publisher about the outline of A Song of Ice and Fire, the writer described what he planned to do with the series and spoke about the climax, which sounds much better than what the show ended up making.

It’s almost “House of the Dragon” season again, which means it’s time for HBO to put everything it has into showing off the megahit series.
The Season 2 world premiere at New York’s Hammerstein Ballroom was attended by cast and crew, celebrities, press — and, as Casey Bloys noted in his opening remarks before a screening of Episode 1, members of the executive board of Warner Bros. Discovery, including C.E.O. David Zaslav.
“I’m guessing that they’ve had a couple conversations saying, ‘Where’s all that HBO money go?'” Bloys said. “And my hope is that you see it on screen tonight. The dragons are very cool, they’re very expensive, but I did ask the production team to give me an idea of what it takes to put on a season of ‘House of the Dragon’ or a show of this size.”
“These are real numbers, I’m not making this up,...

With the death of King Viserys and Prince Lucerys in House of the Dragon season 1, both factions are grieving as we dive into the next season. Emotions are spilling over the edge on both sides even as they gear up for war. Daemon Targaryen, who needs to be a rock for his wife Rhaenyra, is himself falling apart as the past catches up to him.
Matt Smith claims that Daemon acts like a crazy person in the upcoming season as he is struggling to feel grief and come to terms with his brother’s death. The power struggle is secondary since in hindsight, Viserys always trusted and had confidence in Daemon. Having lost him, Daemon also feels a bit hazy about his future.

With June 16 just around the corner, Team Black and Team Green are all geared up to claim the Iron Throne. In a panel discussion to kick off the New York premiere of House of the Dragon, the cast and showrunner Ryan Condal sat down to answer some burning questions.
Talking about the looming war and the preceding power shift at King’s Landing, actress Olivia Cooke claimed that her character has been forced into early retirement. Alicent’s purpose in life, as set by her father, was to further the reputation of her house and consolidate power. Now, with her son as the King of Seven Kingdoms, she feels useless as she has achieved her purpose and now has nothing to do.
The Dowager Queen has lost a fair share of power and is struggling to find her footing. Condal further praised Cooke for her incredible work in bringing the character to life.

The Game of Thrones prequel House of Dragon has so far had a good run and has quickly become one of the best fantasy shows of all time. Created by George R. R. Martin and Ryan Condal, the show takes place nearly 200 years before the events of the original series. Featuring how the House Targaryen lost its influence and the war of succession that followed, the show nonetheless has had spectacular reviews and reactions.

House of the Dragon is nearing the premiere of its second season, which will debut later this month. The series stars Matt Smith as Prince Daemon Targaryen, an unpredictable and fierce warrior.

We are all set to return to the world of Targaryen politics soon with House of the Dragon Season 2. The Matt Smith prequel series, set 200 years before Game of Thrones, has garnered widespread praise after its premiere in late 2022.
House of the Dragon Season 2 raised several headlines when it continued its filming and was completed in time even after facing the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes. However, it faced another significant issue when co-showrunner Miguel Sapochnik left the show. According to a recent interview by Matt Smith, fans will feel Sapochnik’s absence in the second season.

House of the Dragon co-creator Ryan Condal had Matt Smith’s face in mind when he wrote the role of Daemon Targaryen in the series. Soon, he met with Smith to discuss the role along with co-showrunner Miguel Sapochnik in 2020. Smith agreed to the role but he had his concerns about the series. He was worried that the series came too soon after Game of Thrones ended and that audiences had already seen this story.

It’s quite hard to believe that we have lived through a time when wearing masks and being vaccinated was as necessary as oxygen to breathe. The Covid-19 pandemic shut down various systems and threatened to disrupt entire industries. So, when Miguel Sapochnik and Ryan Condal envisioned a Game of Thrones spinoff show focusing on the Targaryens, they knew they had to act fast and see what becomes of it. Matt Smith was one of the first actors they thought of.
HBO was not too keen on monopolizing the Westeros universe. They felt that the story needed new angles and perspectives. Subsequently, HBO canceled the other spinoff titled Bloodmoon after it reportedly went over budget. House of the Dragon was a saving grace since it would give fans something refreshing while ensuring success for the channel.

Showrunner Miguel Sapochnik was sort of a bridge between the shows Game of Thrones and House of the Dragon. He knew the ins and outs of the Westerosi narrative and oversaw the production of both shows. He even directed six episodes of Game of Thrones.
However, a recent report suggested that Sapochnik has left House of the Dragon because the show decided not to invite his wife into the production team. He has been a great asset to House of the Dragon team since he knew how to bring such a grand show to life with resonance.

Matt Smith is one of the most prominent actors on the cast of House Of The Dragon, a Game of Thrones spinoff set in the Seven Kingdoms. He is known to series lovers as the Eleventh Doctor in Doctor Who and as Prince Philip in Netflix’s The Crown. Smith initially had some doubts about playing Daemon Targaryen in the spinoff series as it came soon after the finale season of Game of Thrones.

Smith was concerned that audiences were already familiar with the story of House of the Dragon. He came to understand that the spinoff series was independent of its predecessor and told things on a bigger scale. The second season of the series will focus on the much anticipated Targaryen Civil War between Rhaenyra’s team black and Alicent’s team green.

On “House of the Dragon,” HBO’s fantasy epic that takes place two centuries before “Game of Thrones,” Matt Smith plays Daemon, a warrior prince who exists among fire-breathing reptiles and palace intrigue. But if his character were ever to leap deeper into the supernatural, Smith has some ideas about where he could go. “I think Daemon would make a really good vampire,” he says. “I can imagine him wandering the earth alone for all eternity.”
He certainly has the coloring: Pallid and platinum-blonde, Daemon looks as if he could have arrived in the forbidding and dark world of Westeros all the way from Transylvania. But he might be too hotblooded to play the vampire. And “House of the Dragon” — a prequel to the Emmy-gobbling, earth-shattering hit “Game of Thrones,” set during the reign of the incestuous Targaryen dynasty — is unlikely to pivot into creature horror.

Relationships are not the strongest suit when it comes to the morally grey characters in House of the Dragon. Still, we do come across couples who do manage to stand the test of time. The best example of this being Lord Colrys Velaryon and his wife Rhaenys. And it seems like their on-screen chemistry stems from real life, as seen in the latest House of the Dragon promo.

House of the Dragon’s second season is getting closer to its release date on Max, and the never-ending details about the upcoming installment give us all an even scarier feeling of anticipation than ever before.
The show’s season 2 will finally bring the viewers a long-awaited fight for the ultimate power between the Blacks and the Greens, and, given House of the Dragon’s showrunner’s latest revelations, the full-scale war will get to the level that only Game of Thrones and some Marvel flicks could reach so far.
Despite recent heavy criticism regarding its creative decisions, the MCU is still like nobody else when it comes to turning on-screen big battles into something extremely realistic. With no connection to Marvel whatsoever, Game of Thrones was also a decent game player when it was time to blow everyone away with epic fight scenes, and now it seems like the...

A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, the next Games of Thrones spinoff, is coming together, and George R.R. Martin took to his blog to tease that it will have a “much different tone” from the previous shows.
“The Hedge Knight will be a lot shorter than Game of Thrones or House of the Dragon, with a much different tone… but it’s still Westeros, so no one is truly safe,” Martin wrote. “I hope to visit the shoot come July, when I swing by Belfast on my way to the worldcon in Glasgow. The show will make its debut next year… and if it does well, The Sworn Sword and The Mystery Knight will follow. By which time I hope to have finished some more Dunk & Egg stories.“

House of the Dragon Season 2 is right around the corner and on time. Even after several scares from the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes, the Game of Thrones prequel’s production went down quite smoothly. However, the strikes did affect some aspects of the shoot, as writer Sara Hess recalled what went down during those tumultuous days.
Filming during the Hollywood strikes was “rough”
As the cast and crew of House of the Dragon prepares for the premiere of Season 2, several promotional tours are revealing behind-the-scene secrets. During an interview with EW, writer Sara Hess recalled filming during the infamous strikes, “It was rough. It felt real s–tty, I’m not going to lie.”
“We talked to the WGA and, ultimately, they understood that if we left the set, they were going to make it without us. I don’t think the WGA loved it, but they were okay...

We are just a few weeks away from the first episode of House of the Dragon Season 2. The period fantasy drama is a prequel to Game of Thrones (2011-2019). The HBO series was created by George Rr Martin and Ryan Condal and is based on Martin’s Fire and Blood book. The story takes place 200 years before the events of GoT.
House of The Dragon stars Matt Smith, Paddy Considine, Emma D’Arcy, Rhys Ifans, Olivia Cooke, Eve Best, Tom Glynn-Carny, Ewan Mitchell, and others. The first season received a tremendous reaction and ended on a high note as we saw the bloodshed and wars. The season 2 trailers have hinted that things will only get uglier for the show’s characters. With the dragons having so much power this time, it is definitely going to be a fiery season!

Another reason why House of the Dragon Season 2 is going to be so exciting is because of the new character additions to the cast. We will finally get to see the cunning Alys Rivers in the upcoming season.
Actor Gayle Rankin will be playing Alys Rivers, who is said to be a healer in the books. The Scottish actress has been a part of major Netflix and HBO shows in the past. Her entry into the world of House of the Dragon will surely shake things up a bit. In a recent interview, she talked a bit about the role, with actor Eddie Redmayne next to her.

When Ryan Condal started preparing and filming for House of the Dragon season 2, he made sure that the actors felt connected to their dragons. According to George R.R. Martin’s literature, Targaryens had a very close bond with their scaled beasts. So, the showrunner found it necessary to let the actors get fully acquainted with their dragons and their strengths.

This was necessary for another reason as the upcoming season features the most bloody carnage fans might have ever seen. Actors on the show needed to learn what their dragons were capable of and prepare to act accordingly.
To fully immerse the crew and the fans in the Dance of the Dragons, Condal did everything in his power and streamlined the stories.

Due to the several time jumps we have observed since the start of the series, House of the Dragon is rapidly approaching a full-fledged civil war involving the now-adult characters. This is significant since the tale that the television show is based on is really a few decades into the battle between the Greens and the Blacks, and the time jumps facilitate this. However, we won’t have them in Season 2.
Ryan Condal confirms House of the Dragon Season 2 has no time jumps
The time jumps that were spread out quite evenly throughout Season 1 annoyed a lot of fans. This is because they got to spend less time with their favorite actors. Condal addressed the issue in the latest episode of the Official House of the Dragon podcast, where he confirms with the host about the time skips being absent in Season 2, and says:

The Game of Thrones prequel miniseries House of the Dragon is completely seizing on the excitement around the season 2 premiere. Fans are keen to watch how the Civil War affects the Targaryen dynasty and brings them down. The show’s publicity and marketing efforts to spread the news are very effective. Surprisingly enough, Season 2 production went smoother than the previous one.
Ryan Condal marvels at the greater scale of logistics for House of the Dragon Season 2
The official House of the Dragon podcast is back with Jason Concepcion and Greta Johnsen as its host. And as usual, Condal was the first guest this season. On being asked about the increased scale of production, Condal said, “Absolutely, and I’ll say it was a shockingly smooth production for as complicated as it was.”
“It was much more complicated around this time, just from a size, scope, logistics kind of, you know?...

Ready for Game of Thrones lite?
A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is a new series coming to HBO next year, and author George R.R. Martin, the EP of the series and creator of the novels that spawned this world, promises a shift in tone.
The new spinoff “will be a lot shorter than Game of Thrones or House of the Dragon, with a much different tone,” Martin posted Wednesday on his blog. “But it’s still Westeros, so no one is truly safe.”
The series follows the adventures of Ser Duncan the Tall (played by Peter Claffey) and his young squire, Egg (played by Dexter Sol Ansell).
The official logline for A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is “set in an age when the Targaryen line still holds the Iron Throne, and the memory of the last dragon has not yet passed from living memory” and “great destinies, powerful foes,...

Before House of the Dragon season 2 began filming, showrunner Ryan Condal assembled the actors of the Game of Thrones prequel to view a simple slideshow. The subject of this presentation? Dragons, naturally. The dragon riders needed to get acquainted with their bonded beasts, as they’ll never actually meet them in the scaly flesh.
“These poor actors climb up on a saddle but they never interact with the creature they’re supposed to have this close bond with,” Condal says. “If you believe Westerosi historical propaganda, Aegon [II] and Sunfyre famously had the closest bond between dragon and human in history. It’s important for Tom Glynn-Carney as an actor to know what Sunfyre looks like.”

If Game of Thrones was gory, s*xually explicit, and filled with n*dity and booze then wait for the House of the Dragon Season 2, as Olivia Cooke said, it has crossed the line of its sequel show. House of the Dragon Season 2 has been one of the highly anticipated television shows after the success of season 1, which gave chills to the bones to the devout fans of the saga.

Game of Thrones was necessarily a record-breaker with extremities to complement its grand narrative, but its prequel show has done wonders as well. With the House of the Dragon’s second season scheduled, Cooke, who plays Alicent Hightower in the show, gave fans some hint of what the second season entails.

One of the standout scenes in the latest trailer of House of the Dragon season 2 is where Alicent stops Aemond from going too far. Yes, the Greens want to win the war, but as his mother says, “Not like this.”
This sudden change in Alicent’s stance leaves something to be desired in fans as they piece together supposed situations in the second season of the show. New images from the previews and set prove that Alicent is not completely on board with Aemond’s insidious plans for the upcoming war for the throne.

Images of Aemond and Alicent together show Aegon’s catspaw dagger on Aemond’s belt. With that sinister smirk on his face, it definitely looks like Aemond is getting the upper hand in every situation. Ewan Mitchell has already claimed that his character is taking the war to another level.

House of the Dragon Producers Reveal Plans for Season 3 - Main Image
The first season of House of the Dragon was released to great success. Thus, it’s a no-brainer that it was renewed for another season, though with a reduced episode count. Now, the show's producers share their plans for House of the Dragon Season 3 in case HBO renews the show.
Compared to the 10-episode first season, House of the Dragon Season 2 will only have eight episodes.
Of course, many expected it to be as long as the first one, but the producers revealed they had no control over the reduced episode count.
In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, the series’ executive producer, Sara Hess, claimed this move wasn’t a creative call. Though she couldn’t say anything about it, she stressed it “wasn’t really our choice.”
But despite this change, plans for the hit HBO series are already sealed.

When HBO’s House of the Dragon premiered, one of the most controversial casting decisions was the choice of Matt Smith as Daemon Targaryen. Alongside fans of George R.R. Martin’s Fire & Blood, even critics were skeptical that the Doctor Who star could bring the necessary depth and complexity to the role of the rogue prince.

Author George R.R. Martin created the global phenomenon Game of Thrones when he wrote the fantasy novel series A Song of Ice and Fire. Set in a medieval fantasy realm where Seven Kingdoms fight to be the ruler of the lands, the novel series spawned the popular HBO show which won multiple Emmys and was one of the most-watched series.
After the show ended with season 8, which was largely considered to be disappointing, HBO commissioned multiple prequels, of which only House of the Dragon has seen the light of day. However, among the multiple prequels in development is Aegon’s Conquest, which sees the origins of the Seven Kingdoms. Writer Mattson Tomlin mentioned that Martin instructed him to avoid one mistake from Game of Thrones creators.
