Between the two trailers (with many dragons) and the full broadcast dates, season 2 of House of the Dragon begins to take shape.
The first season of House of the Dragon dates back to September 2022. This prequel to Game Of Thronescentered on the Targaryen family, will be back very soon, a little over a year and a half later.
Like the broadcast dates of the Lord of the Rings: Rings of Power are not yet known, it is difficult to know if we will once again witness a “duel” between these two fantasy serial blockbusters. Either way, summer 2024 will bring dragons.
House of the Dragon : here are the dates for season 2
HBO made public, March 23the complete broadcast schedule for season 2 of House of the Dragon. There will be 8 episodes in total (two fewer than for season 1), to be found from June 16, 2024 on HBO (and the next day in France):
- Episode 1: June 16
- Episode 2: June 23
- Episode 3: June 30
- Episode 4: July 7
- Episode 5: July 14
- Episode 6: July 21
- Episode 7: July 28
- Episode 8: August 4
The episode titles have not yet been revealed — so we have no clue about the course of the story, apart from the first two trailers for season 2. We still know the directors: Clare Kilner on episodes 2 and 5, Geeta Patel for 3 and 8, Alan Taylor for the first and fourth, Andrij Parekh for the sixth, and Loni Peristere for the seventh. Only Geeta Patel and Clare Kilner previously worked on season 1.
The two trailers for House of the Dragon
The “Black” trailer focuses on the strengths of Rhaenyra and Daemon:
And the second trailer, “Green”, focuses on the story of Alicent:
This division into two points of view clearly sets the tone of this season 2: it will be a real duel, which will put the Targaryens to death, probably largely like in George RR Martin’s book.
As for the dragons, they will of course be there. There are no less than 6 dragons in the two trailers: Syrax and Vhagar, which we had already seen, as well as the new ones Sunfyre (we only owe him a brief appearance in season 1), Seasmoke, Moondancer, Caraxes.
A few enemy barbecues are therefore on the program. The scenes including Sunfyre are particularly anticipated: in the book, he is described as the most beautiful of all dragons, of incomparable majesty.
Where to watch season 2 of House of the Dragon ?
At the time of season 1, the HBO series were still broadcast on OCS, the historic French channel for the broadcast of Game Of Thrones. In the meantime, the world of streaming in France has evolved slightly: to watch HBO series, you have to go through Amazon Prime Video. But we cannot be satisfied with the classic subscription, it is also a question of acquiring the Warner Pass.
That being said, we also know that the MAX streaming platform, for Warner/HBO, will be launched before the Paris Olympics, therefore by the end of spring or the beginning of summer, even if no date has been set. been specified for France at present. If this is confirmed, it is not impossible that season 2 of House of the Dragon serves as a selling point for this new service.
