In summer the kites fly again. Finally, because fans have been waiting for the return of House of the Dragon for two years now. Now there are finally new insights into Season 2 of the fantasy series, which takes place approximately 200 years before the events of Game of Thrones. HBO has released two different trailers for the new episodes.

As a reminder, this is how House of the Dragon Season 1 ended
In the first season, House of the Dragon told how two young women become enemies due to the power struggle in the court of King’s Landing. On one side is the king’s daughter Rhaenyra Targaryen (Emma D’Arcy), on the other side is Alicent Hightower (Olivia Cooke), Rhaenyra’s childhood friend and the king’s second wife. The Targaryen daughter is chosen as heir to the throne, but Alicent then gives birth to other (male) heirs.
The conflict escalates in the finale of the first season. King Viserys dies and Alicent takes steps to install her son Aegon (Tom Glynn-Carney) as king. In the ensuing conflict, Rhaenyra’s youngest son Luke is killed by Aegon’s brother Aemond. This means that a war between the “Blacks” (Rhaenyra’s faction) and the “Greens” (Alicent’s faction) for the throne of the Seven Kingdoms can no longer be averted.
