House Of The Dragon: season 2
Created by Ryan Condal
Are you ready to return to the world of Westeros? It’s been almost two years since the last instalment of the engrossing Game Of Thrones prequel. Non-binary star Emma D’Arcy and Olivia Cooke – who play Rhaenyra Targaryen and Alicent Hightower respectively – deliver spellbinding performances as former BFFs turned rivals. Previous episodes have set up the Targaryen civil war and you’re about to see it take full effect. Prepare for gore, drama and shocking twists and turns. And what can you expect from Rhaenyra this season? Emma told Entertainment Weekly: “I don’t think there is any longer the bandwidth to suppress and repress her nature.” Hell hath no fury like a mother’s rage (especially when said mother rides fire breathing dragons).
