House of the Dragon Season 2: Release Date, Trailers, and What to Expect
The highly anticipated second season of House of the Dragon is finally here
The acclaimed Game of Thrones spin-off debuted the first half of its second season on HBO on August 21, 2023. The first episode was released on June 16, 2023 at 9 Pm. The remaining seven episodes of the season will air weekly on Mondays.
House of the Dragon Season 2 will include eight episodes
The first season of House of the Dragon consisted of 10 episodes, but the second season will be shorter, with only eight episodes. This is likely due to the fact that the show is now adapting the second half of George R.R. Martin's novel Fire & Blood, which is a shorter book than the first half.
Despite the shorter season, House of the Dragon Season 2 is still expected to be just as epic and action-packed as the first season. The show will continue to follow the Targaryen family as they navigate the treacherous waters of Westerosi politics and prepare for the upcoming civil war known as the Dance of the Dragons.
Fans of the show can expect to see plenty of familiar faces in Season 2, including Paddy Considine as King Viserys Targaryen, Matt Smith as Prince Daemon Targaryen, Olivia Cooke as Queen Alicent Hightower, and Emma D'Arcy as Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen.
In addition to the returning cast, House of the Dragon Season 2 will also introduce several new characters, including:
- John Macmillan as Ser Laenor Velaryon
- Theo Nate as Ser Laenor Velaryon (younger)
- Savannah Steyn as Lady Laena Velaryon
- Nanna Blondell as Lady Laena Velaryon (younger)
- Wil Johnson as Ser Vaemond Velaryon
- Bill Paterson as Lord Lyman Beesbury
- Roger Evans as Ser Tyland Lannister
- Ewan Mitchell as Prince Aemond Targaryen (younger)
- Harry Collett as Prince Jacaerys Velaryon (younger)
- Leo Hart as Prince Lucerys Velaryon (younger)
With its stellar cast, gripping storyline, and stunning visuals, House of the Dragon Season 2 is sure to be one of the most talked-about TV shows of the year.
