House of the Dragon season 2 gets release date and two first-look trailers
The Game of Thrones spin-off show will be back on our screens in June.
Not one but two new trailers have arrived for the second season of House of the Dragon – teasing more chaos for the Targaryen clan as the struggle for power continues.
The two 'duelling' teasers – one Black, one Green – herald the upcoming war between the Hightowers (aka The Greens) and Rhaenyra and her allies (aka The Blacks).
In addition to previewing the action and character conflict coming up, the trailers also confirm season 2's launch date, with new episodes set to air on HBO in the US from Sunday 16th June.
The new run will continue to follow the Targaryens after the shocking events of the season 1 finale, which saw the death of Rhaenyra's (Emma D'Arcy) son Lucerys.
Fans had previously been treated to a short teaser hinting at all out war in the second run and, from the looks of the new trailer, we can certainly look forward to lots of high-octane action and political intrigue in the new season.
