House of Dragon: Season 2 release date, Cast, Daemon, Rhaenyra, Vermithor and more - What to expect

House of Dragon: The prequel of the most popular American fantasy drama television series Game of Thrones, the House of the Dragon is receiving great response from viewers all around the world. House of Dragon which set up streaming benchmarks with its premiere has been officially renewed for season 2. House of Dragon had debuted clocking in nearly 10 million US viewers making it the biggest series premiere in HBO history.

"According to Empire' magazine, Network giant HBO has put its money where its mouth is. And that mouth is saying - Dracarys," said IANS report. As per 'Empire', since a fair chunk of change must have been put in to rebuild the world of Westeros again, it makes sense for HBO to double down on that investment and head back for another batch of episodes bringing incestuous relationships, political maneuvers, and big ol' swooping reptiles to viewers. 

The report further stated that for audiences, it means the rest of the first season can be enjoyed in the knowledge that there's a wider story to play out. Based on George R.R. Martin's "Fire & Blood," "House of the Dragon" is set nearly 200 years before the events of "Game of Thrones," telling the story of the Targaryen civil war with King Viserys I Targaryen's children battling for control of the Iron Throne.

Showrunner Miguel Sapochnik, director Greg Yaitanes, Emma D’Arcy (Rhaenyra Targaryen), Eve Best (Rhaenys Targaryen), and more explore the emotional complexity Rhaenyra endures after hearing the Greens usurped the throne, Rhaenys’ change of heart, and the implications of Aemond and Luke’s encounter in the Season 1 finale.
