House of the dragon season 2

For all our grumbling about House of the Dragon’s first season—its elongated windup to events obvious from the jump, its textbook-plotted storyline, its delay of all things interesting and consequential—we have to say: when Ramin Djawadi’s score kicks in each week, we’re just happy to get another hour in Westeros. It takes us back to a simpler time, when we were sweet summer children in the spring of 2011. May the franchise go on. May it last generations and always give us something to complain about. By now, as we wrap up Episode 10 and Season 1, With such deliberate pacing, House of the Dragon seems poised for at least one more season and possibly more. It’s worth remembering that the events of the series, even after the time jumps, still puts the date over one hundred years before Daenerys Targaryen is even born—allowing for decades more of Targaryen drama, inbreeding, and dramatic conversation-ending hmmms. Here’s what we know about the future of the series. Is House of the Dragon Returning for Season 2? HBO Is yes. Shortly after the premiere, HBO There are also rumors the series will continue past Season 2 and into Season 3—rumors stoked by its star Matt Smith, who Happy Sad Confused podcast for after the Episode 6 time jump: “Once we make the jump, we’re in.

The UK’s BT While there’s a...

House of the Dragon HBO House of the Dragon was renewed for season 2 before the second episode of the series even aired, as it’s the kind of hit HBO wanted, and a revival of the Game of Thrones universe now that the main show has ended. And it’s doing a great job making us forget about that last season of Game of Thrones itself. • Condal says the narrative of season 1 was deliberately slowed down so we got to know the characters and got invested in them. I’d argue the show felt like it moved too fast with all the leaps forward in time, but I digress. Condal says: “We will get to the spectacle. But you have to understand these people’s complexities before they’re thrown into war.” • Condal also says that the show is going to shift into what the middle few seasons of Game of Thrones was like, which many would argue was the best era of that series: “Series two will hit the rhythms people came to expect from the middle run of Game of Thrones, but it will have been earned, and viewers will feel the tragedies because we put the work in.” • Finally, Condal says that they will try to incorporate “natural pathways into moments of levity” in the very, serious, dark show, but says that’s tough without a character like Tyrion. But he says he thinks Matt Smith is hilarious, and that Daemon might be the vessel for a bit of comedy in the future. Can a guy cutting another guy’s head in half be funny? The comedic timing of that was kind of on point (“he can keep his tongue”). House of the ...

What to expect when you're expecting House of the Dragon season 2: This. Lots of this. HBO House of the Dragon season one ended with poor sweet Prince Luke, doomed son of Queen Rhaenyra, getting gobbled up like a grape. You've heard of snatching victory out of the jaws of defeat? Yeah. Luke just plain got chomped by them. And while season one consisted of a lot of meetings that could have been conducted by raven, it made sense. We were witnessing the events that brought the Seven Kingdoms – and the Targaryens who run it – to the brink of war. Well, war's here. It's been well and truly brinked and a willful Vhagar was the one who brinked it. Now that Prince Luke has been reduced to a sticky toffee wedged in the dragon's molars, here's a handy list of things to expect out of House of the Dragon season two, when it arrives sometime in early 2024. 1. A widening out and a picking of sides We stuck to a handful of locations in season one, because the story was that of hairline cracks forming within a single ruling family and spidering outward. As the civil war known as the Dance of the Dragons erupts in season two, we'll see Houses across Westeros getting pulled inexorably into the brutal and devastating conflict. Lords of Houses with names we know from Game of Thrones will choose to get in line behind either King Aegon II or Queen Rhaenyra: Stark, Arryn, Frey, Greyjoy, Tarly, Tully. More Houses means more locations, as battles big and small start to detonate throughout the Seve...
