HBO has revealed two posters for the second season of the Game of Thrones prequel House of the Dragon and promised a first look is coming December 2.
The first look at Season 2 of House of the Dragon, which will premiere on HBO in summer 2024, will arrive at Comic Con Experience 2023 in Brazil. Until then, fans can check out these new posters of Olivia Cooke's Alicent Hightower and Emma D'Arcy's Rhaenyra Targaryen. Alicent's reads "blood for blood" and Rhaenyra's says "fire to fire."
Alongside being a reference to Fire and Blood, George R.R. Martin's book that the series is based on, the posters also tease the growing feud between the women who were once dear friends.
Tomorrow.

House of the Dragon takes place 200 years before the events of Game of Thrones and follows the Targaryen dynasty in Westeros after the unification of the Seven Kingdom. This is, obviously, well before Daenerys was born, but it fills in much of the story of her family that was only hinted at in Game of Thrones.
In our House of the Dragon Season 1 review, IGN said: "Early on it sometimes felt too faithful to its predecessor, but after ten episodes House Of The Dragon has forged its own identity and established itself as a worthy prequel to Game Of Thrones. That’s largely thanks to strong writing, a wildly overqualified cast, and a veritable flock of dragons."
