"House of the Dragon": The Tides of War Shall Rise Again
Get ready to dive back into the world of dragons and political intrigue! Sky Deutschland has unveiled the hotly anticipated trailer for the second season of "Game of Thrones" spin-off, "House of the Dragon." Buckle up, because things are about to get as bloody and epic as ever!
Remember where we left off? (Warning: Spoilers ahead!)
Just in case you need a refresher, let's catch up on where we left off in season one. King Viserys (Paddy Considine) succumbed to his illness after decades of ruling, leaving behind a power vacuum in his House Targaryen. The seeds of war were already sown when Rhaenyra's (Emma D'Arcy) son was killed by Aemond Targaryen's (Ewan Mitchell) dragon. With his death, the stage was set for a deadly confrontation between Rhaenyra and her stepmother and former friend, Alicent Hohenturm (Olivia Cooke).
And now, the second season begins...
In the dark shadows of Westeros, a war looms on the horizon. "A war is imminent - with many deaths," Alicent warns in the trailer. The victor will claim the throne at the end. The trailer shows both sides preparing for battle, but also grappling with the consequences of their actions. And of course, there are no shortage of dragons, terrorizing both armies.
"Game of Thrones" showrunner stokes the flames of anticipation
