After a two-year wait for Westeros fans, the second season of House of the Dragon has finally landed on our screens, with the first episode being streamed on 17 June, following the eagerly awaited premier in the US.
Set hundreds of years before the events of cult fantasy classic Game of Thrones, the ambitious spin-off has captivated audiences with its dragon-based political intrigue, royal backstabbing and its all-star cast of household British names.
Season one concluded in 2022 with tensions at a fever pitch. The fragile peace brokered by King Viserys Targaryen (Paddy Considine) had shattered. Rhaenyra Targaryen (Emma D’Arcy), heir to the Iron Throne, and her half-brother Aegon Targaryen (Tom Glynn-Carney) now stood poised for a brutal civil war known as the Dance of the Dragons.
Season two of House of the Dragon has finally arrived with all the family drama and bloodshed that we might expect and hope for, with familiar faces as well as newcomers among the chaos. The core cast – including Matt Smith, Olivia Cooke and Rhys Ifans – have all returned, but expect several new players, among them Simon Russell Beale, who was announced to play the role of Ser Simon Strong.
