The first trailers for House of the Dragon Season 2 have been released.
Max posted new “dueling” trailers for the second season of House of the Dragon, the Game of Thrones prequel series.
The “green” House of the Dragon Season 2 trailer primarily focuses on Queen Alicent Hightower (Olivia Cooke) and the sacrifices that she and the Green Council had to make to put Aegon II Targaryen (Tom Glynn-Carney) on the Iron Throne, while the “black” trailer centers around Rhaenyra Targaryen (Emma D’Arcy) and her supporters.

Showrunner Ryan Condal teases big things in House of the Dragon Season 2
“This is not a story of goodies and baddies, black hats and white hats,” showrunner Ryan Condal said of the new season, via Entertainment Weekly. “It’s a story of this family that’s been rent open by this dispute over who is meant to wear the crown after Viserys passes. Some people think it’s Rhaenyra, some people think it’s Aegon, and then there are other people within who think, ‘Why should it be one of the two of them? Maybe it should be somebody else. Maybe it should be me!’ The fun of this Greek tragedy is seeing, when you introduce a power vacuum to a world like this, how all of these individuals react.”
He added, “This season, we shot two of the largest sequences that certainly I’ve ever done as a maker of television, certainly that House of the Dragon has ever done. I don’t know that they’re bigger necessarily than anything Game of Thrones has done because they got pretty big in the end. But certainly we’re going to see new things that you have not seen before within this world. There’s some pretty epic stuff to come. It’s just a couple months away, guys.”
Created by George R. R. Martin and Condal, House of the Dragon initially premiered on Max in August 2022. The series is set approximately 200 years before the events of Game of Thrones and depicts the fall of House Targaryen.
House of the Dragon Season 2 premieres on Max on June 16, 2024. The first season, meanwhile, is currently available to view on the streaming platform.
