Little by little, like the mouth of a dragon, communication of the series House of the Dragonderived from the universe Game Of Thronesignites. After a very long silence – the first season was broadcast in August 2022 – we are gradually discovering new extracts. In a month, spectators will be able to witness the Dance of Dragons and terrible clashes between the two camps that oppose each other for the Iron Throne : the Blacks, led masterfully by Princess Rhaenyra, and the Greens, who already occupy the city of Port-Royal and are led by Alicent Hightower and his son, the game King Aegon II.
As tensions between the two families fighting over the governance of Westeros intensified, the irreparable finally happened. At the end of the first season, Prince Aemond Targaryen brings down the first domino that will lead to one of the greatest wars in the history of the Seven Kingdoms. We leave you the pleasure of discovering what is happening there – you still have until June 16 to catch up before season 2 -, but know that we already have initial information on the content of this second round of episodes.
House of the Dragon Season 2 Will Give Us “The Greatest Sequences Ever Filmed”
It’s from the media Den of Geek that the showrunner of the series recently took the time to discuss the return of the series House of the Dragon. On the one hand, the setting of the HBO show put the events and issues of the first season into context a little before getting to the heart of the matter and tackling the subject of the most epic moments of this season 2. As he explains during the interview, “ battles are episodes in their own right » and there is in particular “ two of the greatest sequences we’ve ever filmed in House of the Dragon “.
Without going into too much detail, we can already bet a coin on the adaptation of the battle of the Siege of Repos-des-Freux as well as that of Gosier, which is a gigantic naval confrontation. Perhaps it will also be coupled with the Battle of Mead which could lead to a breathtaking end to the season. Let’s remember, for once, that season 2 only has eight episodes. Beyond direct confrontations, House of the Dragon nonetheless remains an internal struggle between two families which are torn apart and which gives rise to a hatred which becomes more anchored over the generations of children. They are also the first to be targeted and a source of revenge: as we will see in season 2, we will be entitled to one of the most shocking sequences ever in the company of two characters, Blood and Cheese.
