Warning: This article contains major spoilers about House Of The Dragon season two.
We’ve finally seen it all… well, kind of. After the highly anticipated first season of House Of The Dragon came to an end, fans set their sights on the second season—and rather conveniently, we already have new episodes releasing each week.
The first season came to a dramatic end when it premiered, with 9.3 million viewers tuning in to see how things panned out for the Targaryens. From Lucerys’ death to Rhaenyra’s extremely graphic stillbirth, it left viewers wide-eyed, shocked and ultimately wondering what comes next.
Well, we don’t have to wonder any more—with new episodes for the second season coming in hot. Keep scrolling for everything you need to know about it.
What is the plot of House Of The Dragon season 2?
At the very end of season one, we saw Rhaenyra (played by Emma D’Arcy) learning that her son had been killed. Her grief and fury were palpable; she wanted revenge. War, it seems, was inevitable.
The series is based on George R.R. Martin’s novel Fire & Blood, which tracks the civil war, ultimately leading to the new ruler sitting on the Iron Throne. Showrunner Ryan Condal revealed that season one was somewhat of an introduction to Martin’s book and its characters because he deemed it important to “understand these people’s complexities before they’re thrown into the war”.
He added that the second season would relate most to the middle seasons of HBO’s original series (and sequel to HotD) Game of Thrones, but with more humour.
“I think Matt Smith is very funny. If there is one character that does not care, it is Daemon,” the showrunner quipped to Deadline.

House Of The Dragon premiered with its first episode on Binge on June 17 in Australia at 11:15am AEST.
