'House Of The Dragon' Season 2 Trailer Review: The Targaryens Prepare For The Biggest And Bloodiest War Ever

The 2 minute 37 seconds trailer hints at the conflict between Rhaenyra Targaryen and the king’s firstborn son, Aegon. Based on George RR Martin’s ‘Fire & Blood,’ the trailer portrays King Aegon II’s usurpation of Rhaenyra’s promised throne, prompting the Blacks, led by Rhaenyra and Daemon, to plan an invasion of King’s Landing to claim the Iron Throne. Meanwhile, the Greens, loyal to Aegon, prepare for defence as a ‘war is coming,’ which neither of the sides may win.

After a long wait of two years, the highly-anticipated second season is almost coming. And looking at the production, which actually looks insanely good, it’s understandable why it took so long. The production values are truly stunning, and offer a visual spectacle for audiences, with breathtaking dragon sequences and epic battle scenes. Other than that, there’s so much intrigue, and drama that curiosity is peaking up to see how dark and ruthless the characters could possibly get. It’s evident that when the ‘Game of Thrones’ prequel returns, viewers can expect an abundance of fire and blood. War, directly, will take centre stage, with throne politics and treachery playing pivotal roles in shaping up the story.

As far as the cast is concered, Matt Smith, Olivia Cooke, Emma D’Arcy, Eve Best, Steve Toussaint, Fabien Frankel, Ewan Mitchell, Tom Glynn-Carney, Sonoya Mizuno, Rhys Ifans, Harry Collett, Bethany Antonia, Phoebe Campbell, Phia Saban, Jefferson Hall and Matthew Needham will be reprising their roles. Joining them are Abubakar Salim, Gayle Rankin, Freddie Fox and Simon Russell Beale.
