House of The Dragon 2 trailer
Following the coronation of King Aegon II and the tragic demise of Lucerys Targaryen, ‘House of the Dragon’ season 2 delves into the heart of Westeros as the legendary ‘Dance of the Dragons’ unfolds. With factions divided between the ‘Greens’ and the ‘Blacks,’ viewers will witness the tumultuous struggle for power and supremacy. As supporters of Alicent and Viserys’s son, Aegon II, attempt to assert control over the realm from the seat of power in King’s Landing, tensions rise amidst the absence of effective leadership.
Meanwhile, Rhaenyra’s Black Council grapples with strategic decisions and moral dilemmas following the tragic loss at Dragonstone. While both factions reminisce about their former camaraderie, the relentless momentum of war pushes them towards irreconcilable conflict, even within their own ranks. With the stakes higher than ever and alliances hanging by a thread, ‘House of the Dragon’ season 2 promises an epic narrative filled with political intrigue, breathtaking battles, and the indomitable spirit of dragons.
