Plot – what’s the story about?
House of the Dragon is a prequel to the Game of Thrones series and takes place nearly 200 years before the events of the 2011 show. The series sheds light on a devastating power struggle between the Targaryens that is popularly known as the Dance of the Dragons.
The opening chapter of the series successfully reimagined Westeros, as it would’ve existed under the Targaryens. Season two is set to build upon the narrative of its successor, which ended on a massive cliffhanger. The two Targaryen siblings, namely Rhaenyra and Aegon, were seemingly on the cusp of war until one of Rhaenyra’s sons was brutally murdered by Aegon’s brother. The second season will depict the aftermath of this event and will majorly highlight Rhaenyra’s response to the loss of her offspring.
