HBO has today announced the premiere date for the upcoming second season of its original drama series House of the Dragon.
The 8-episode second season will launch on Sunday, June 16 at 9/8c.
Westeros is on the brink of a bloody civil war with the Green and Black Councils fighting for King Aegon and Queen Rhaenyra, respectively. As each side believes theirs to be the rightful seat on the Iron Throne, the Green and Black trailers reflect those two perspectives in separate yet complementary halves of the same story. For global audiences, "All Must Choose" their side of House Targaryen as the realm fractures in season two.
