One of the most eagerly awaited TV shows of 2024 is House of the Dragon, which will soon be available on HBO and streaming services. First blood was drawn, indicating that war in Westeros is inevitable, as hinted at in the season one finale of House of the Dragon. The first season established the backdrop for the civil war known as the Dance of the Dragons, in which rival groups commanded by Aegon II Targaryen and Rhaenyra Targaryen will battle it out for possession of the Iron Throne.

House of the Dragon is set 200 years before the events of Game of Thrones, and now, the prequel promises to match the original show’s claim to fame with massive action set pieces and battles. Of course, political intrigue and intense family drama will continue to play a role in the sophomore season, as House of the Dragon’s cast of characters has been split into the Black and Green factions, with season 2 prompting audiences to choose their team.
