“When the desire to kill and burn takes hold and reason is forgotten, we will not even remember what began the war in the first place,” Rhaenys (Eve Best) prophecizes in House of the Dragon season 2 and so it proves, with both Green and Black Councils hailing their leader as the one true monarch, and war now afoot. House of the Dragon season 2 premieres on HBO and Max (7-day free trial) on Sunday, June 16. The series is shown on Crave in Canada, Sky in the UK, and Binge and Foxtel in Australia.
If Alicent Hightower (Olivia Cooke) could see that the realm would struggle to accept a queen – even though Viserys named Rhaenyra (Emma D’Arcy) his sole heir to the Iron Throne – she surely knew that Aegon’s ascension (Tom Glynn-Carney) would be met with resistance.
Having kept her temper for the duration of the Game of Thrones prequel’s debut season, the cruel death of Lucerys has pushed Rhaenyra past her limit. Plan A, Plan B and Plan C has become to take the Iron Throne by any means necessary, which means it’s time to let Daemon (Matt Smith) run riot.
He and Aemond (Ewan Mitchell) are fated to meet each other either on the battlefield or in the skies above it, but before that moment arrives, it’s time to test the strength of their respective armies and dragons.
Based on George R.R. Martin’s fantasy novel Fire and Blood and set 200 years before the events of Game of Thrones, read on as we explain how to watch House of the Dragon season 2 online from anywhere.
