As it’s possible for you to always expect from theGame of Thronesuniverse, the cast is alwaysexpected to grow exponentially, and it isnt any different withHouse of the DragonSeason 2.
In addition to the previously announcedAbubakar Salim,Gayle Rankin,Freddie FoxandSimon Russell Beale, HBO announced six new cast members.Clinton Liberty(Normal People) will be Addam of Hull,Jamie Kenna(Gran Turismo) plays Ser Alfred Broome,Tom Taylor(Doctor Foster) embodies Lord Cregan Stark andVincent Regan(One Piece)is Ser Rickard Thorne.
The web connection also announcedKieran Bew(Warrior) as Hugh andTom Bennett(Rocketman) as Ulf, but gave them no last names so far.
The reign of House Targaryen begins with this prequel to the popular HBO seriesGame of Thrones.Based on George R.R. Martin’sFire & Blood,House of the Dragonis set nearly 200 years beforeGame of Thrones, telling the story of the Targaryen civil war with King Viserys.
As the prequel series starts moving closer and closer to the story ofGame of Thrones, we know well get tomeet the ancestors of some of our favorite characters, including the new Stark memberwho will bulk up the family tree.
The focus ofHouse of the Dragonisthe rise and fall of House Targaryen, of course, but as it happens in real life, the dynasties of ruling families are always interconnected.
In Season 1 we already got to see some Lannisters and Baratheons, and this only tends to become more and more common as the story moves forward in the timeline.
‘House of the Dragon’ Season 2 is Slowing Down
However, according toseries showrunnerRyan Condal, Season 2 ofHouse of the Dragonwont move quite as fast as Season 1.
In the first batch of episodes, if you blinked you risked losing a whole year passing by and we got to meet at least two generations of Targaryens, including Rhaenyra who wasplayed byMilly Alcockand Emma DArcy.
Yesterday,HBO released some Season 2 postersthat tease the dissolution of Rhaenyra (DArcy) and Queen Allicent’s (Olivia Cooke) friendship or acquaintance in their later years once and for all.
Not that we didnt expect drama for the new episodes: War, political conflicts and intrigue are in the DNA of Westeros, and the tendency is for characters only to become more ruthless and nefarious.
HBO premieres Season 2 ofHouse of the Dragonin the summer of 2024, but a specific release date is yet to be revealed to the public.
In the meantime, Season 1 is streaming on Max in the U.S.
