HBO's House Of The Dragon Season 2 Teaser Promises A 'War Between Dragons', And Fans Are Pumped
Civil war is upon House Targaryen in Season 2 of House of the Dragon, and it's guaranteed to be a brutal and bloody battle. Following the catastrophic events of the Season 1 finale of the Game of Thrones prequel, tensions are running high between the Greens and the Blacks. This violent turbulence was confirmed even further as the first teaser for the new season promised that we're about to witness a "war between dragons," and fans are pumped.
Following the release of first-look posters that foreshadow major tragedy in House of the Dragon, the teaser trailer for Season 2 was released and we got our first glimpse of the all-out war that’s about to begin. In the video, we saw the HOTD cast back in action and dealing with the fallout after the death of Rhaenyra's son Lucerys. While we know that the House Targaryen falls from power eventually, this season looks like it will document the beginning of their demise.
The trailer noted that following the death of King Viserys, many grave mistakes were made, and it’s apparent that the Targaryen family is far too divided to find a peaceful solution. The Season 1 finale of HOTD clearly set up the stakes for Season 2, and the battle lines have been drawn between Rhaenyra and Alicent.
Overall, fans can't wait to see what happens as the women go to war over the Iron Throne. For example, this fan will be seated for the premiere on the 2024 TV schedule next summer:
Another fan used a very appropriate Oprah meme to explain their enthusiasm about this upcoming war between dragons:
Another fan is so thrilled about Season 2, they can’t figure out what to do until summer 2024, other than wait. Using an immaculate GIF, they posted:
Using the GIF of Rachel and Phoebe excitedly clapping in Friends, this fan posted about how excited they are to see the Dance of the Dragons:
Fans are also pledging their allegiances, and sides are being chosen as we enter into what is bound to be an intense civil war. Take these two tweets for example:
Burn them all, my Queen! For Lucerys! ?? -@realOkeyAnya
QUEEN ALICENT -@CalIMeDon
Overall, I think this tweet of a determined Rhaenyra standing in front of her dragon sums up all our excitement very well:
The hype is so real for Season 2 of House of the Dragon, and fans are very ready to go back to Westeros and witness the Dance of the Dragons.
Season 2 currently does not have a premiere date, however, the trailer noted it will begin airing in the summer of 2024. While we wait to see the Targaryen dragons fly into war, you can stream Season 1 of the fantasy series as well as its predecessor Game of Thrones with a Max subscription. We’ll also be sure to keep you posted about all updates regarding this forthcoming season and all the other upcoming GOT shows as more news comes out.
