When will ‘House of the Dragon’ Season 2 premiere on HBO and Max?
After a two-year hiatus, HBO’s Emmy-nominated original series House of the Dragon is returning for Season 2. The first episode drops this Sunday, but what about the rest of the season? What to know about House of the Dragon Season 2 release time, episode schedule and more.
A prequel to HBO’s hit series Game of Thrones (taking place nearly 200 years before the original show), the fantasy drama is based on the book “Fire and Blood” by George RR Martin. Season 2 follows the death of Rhaenyra Targaryen’s (Emma d’Arcy) second-born son Luke Valarion of the Luceries. King Aegon II sits on the Iron Throne after the usurpation, supported by Queen Dowager Elaine Hightower (Olivia Cooke). Now, the families prepare for a violent battle.
“The books are the foundation of where we’re going with the narrative, but things are being adapted,” Glenn-Carney, who plays King Aegon II Targaryen, teased the changes in season 2 to Esquire. “It’s the Bible, but it’s not. The writers of our show are brilliant and should be given credit for creating them. George RR Martin should be given credit for creating them. But they’re not the same.”
