House of the Dragon season one spoilers below

A brand new trailer for the second season of House of the Dragon has just landed, which means we can finally start getting excited about round two of the hit fantasy drama.

The one minute clip, which has already racked up over 4.5 million views, launches audiences right back into the drama: tension is boiling over as rival factions the Greens and the Blacks (those who support Alicent Hightower and those who support Rhaenyra Targaryen in their bids for power) prepare for battle. Knights flee on horses through forests; there are explosions, beheadings, strategy meetings, fraught show downs and the dragons are patrolling the skies, bigger than ever.

The spin-off show, which premiered in August 2022, had big shoes to fill: David Benioff and D. B. Weiss’ television's novels became one of the world’s biggest TV series, running for eight seasons and picking up 59 Emmy awards.
