House of the Dragon is the prequel to Game of Thrones and follows the Targaryen dynasty on the fictional continent of Westeros. The series is set nearly 200 years before the events of Game of Thrones and about 100 years after the Targaryens united the Seven Kingdoms. A lot happened in the first season last year and now the first poster for season 2 already gave a good look at Princess Rhaenyra.
House of the Dragon was a return to form for the series, as it retained the sense of urgency, betrayal and political intrigue that fans of Game of Thrones had come to expect from the series. Naturally, it was a huge step up from the last two seasons of Game of Thrones for many people.
New Season 2 Posters Feature Emma D’Arcy’s Princess Rhaenyra Looking For Vengeance
The final episode of season one of House of the Dragon ended on a shocking note for a lot of reasons. After all, the conclusion saw Lucerys Velaryon’s shocking death. Lucerys Velaryon was Princess Rhaenyra’s son before he was eaten mid-flight by Aemond Targaryen’s dragon, Vhagar.
When Princess Rhaenyra came to know this, only one thing was on her mind – revenge. Therefore, it comes as no surprise that the latest posters for Season 2 show Emma D’Arcy’s Princess Rhaenyra in the mood for bloody revenge. Needless to say, the upcoming season will be one of the most violent seasons in the series’ history.
