So, it will be difficult for the production to film and VFX another season by the end of 2023, meaning that a 2024 return could be more likely. Condal explained that the writers will seek to introduce “natural pathways into moments of levity” in the drama. There’s a million and one questions circulating after that finale so read on for what we know about House Of The Dragon season two so far. Condal also surprisingly hinted at the possibility of some lighthearted moments in the new series too. It’s a methodical approach, but in the final scenes, Daemon delivers the tragic news of her son’s death and with it, we just know that House Of The Dragon series two is going to be grittier and bloodier than this premiere season. Speaking to The Times, But what we do know is that Lucerys’ death will likely spark a war-waging fire in Rhaenyra and that she and Daemon will exact bloody revenge upon King’s Landing and the Hightowers. As I do so, though, I am deeply comforted to know that Alan [Taylor] will be joining the series. “He’s someone I’ve known and respected for a long time, and I believe this precious series could not be in safer hands. It’s based on The Dying Of The Dragons, a novella found in George RR Martin’s 2018 work Fire & Blood. “But you have to understand these people’s complexities before they’re thrown into war. We knew it was coming but in the finale’s closing moments we see a darker new side to Princess Rhaenyra that will carry us into the now-confirmed second season.

This period decides the successor to the Iron Throne. While it hasn't been confirmed, season two will likely cover the timeline of 129-131 AC from George R.R.

Join GLAMOUR for more information about season two of this popular show which has viewers on the edge of their seats. Has season two of House of the Dragon been confirmed?

The Dance of Dragons has begun. Rhaenyra Targaryen, the rightful heir to the Iron Throne, briefly considered bending the knee to her half-brother King Aegon ...

Of all the families mentioned in the episode, we have a special place in our hearts for the Starks. House of the Dragon has been playing fast and loose with the children’s ages throughout the series, and at this point it’s unclear who is and isn’t considered a grown-up ready to fight. Perhaps he interprets Viserys keeping the secret of the dream from him as a signal that Viserys never trusted Daemon or considered Daemon a possible heir to the throne. In the Season 1 finale, he tells Rhaenyra that Team Black has more dragons than Team Green. He tells her that Aegon the Conquerer subjugated the people of Westeros in part because he had a dream a Targaryen would need to sit on the Iron Throne when a great winter (i.e. And if her children continue to die, is Rhaenyra doomed to the same fate that Daenerys suffered in [Game of Thrones?](https://time.com/6206772/house-of-the-dragon-connects-game-of-thrones/) But in the final episode, we see a fissure between the Queen and her partner. In both cases, the dream serves largely as a plot device to confuse Alicent into believing her son ought to be crowned king and angering Daemon who never learned the secret prophesy from his brother. The Season 1 finale was named “The Black Queen,” and it seems that Rhaenyra is finally ready to take on that title. Early in the season, Viserys warned Rhaenyra that “the idea that we control the dragons is an illusion. Again, this seems largely to be choice on the part of the writers to complicate the character rather than a plot-driven decision. But the death of Rhaenyra’s son Lucerys at the hands of Aegon’s brother Aemond—mistake or not—enraged Rhaenyra and kicked off a civil war that will play out over several seasons.

So while we expect the main thrust of successive books to be followed in House of the Dragon season 2, there should also be a few surprises in store. The sapphire is Aemond’s personal sigil – an individual equivalent of the house symbol of the Targaryens. Okay, this is a question we think we know the answer for already, but you never know in shows like this. We saw Daemon entering a cave, singing in High Valyrian to a gigantic dragon in the darkness. There’s no firm confirmation on which dragon this is so far – whether one of the 13 dragons already under the family’s control, or a ‘wild’ dragon with no existing allegiances. However, we’re yet to see how Aemond spins the death of his kin, as either an unfortunate accident or a kill he takes responsibility for – if not something he keeps secret as Lucerys’ absence begins to be noticed.
