We’re still a few days away from the premier of Season 2 of HBO’s House of the Dragon, but HBO seems confident enough in their upcoming show to renew it for another season before fans have had a chance to see a single episode of its sophomore season.
According to The Verge, HBO has confirmed that they’ve decided to bring back the Game of Thrones prequel for at least one more season as the first season proved to be a massive hit even as fans of Game of Thrones expected the worse given GOT’s struggle final season. With interest in the world of Westeros renewed with a captivating story and interesting characters in House of the Dragon, HBO smells another long-running hit series cooking in the kitchen and is taking steps to ensure they keep their customers satisfied… for now.
Per The Verge:
House of the Dragon premiered in 2022 and is set 200 years before the original Game of Thrones series. It’s focused primarily on House Targaryen and stars the likes of Matt Smith and Emma D’Arcy. The second season kicks off on June 16th on both HBO and Max. It’s also not the only extension of Game of Thrones in the works: HBO has another spinoff called A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: the Hedge Knight in development, though it’s not clear when it will start airing.
That’s all good and cool, but we’re still salty that the Jon Snow spinoff that was supposed to take place after the events of Game of Thrones was canceled. Like WTF, man?! We want answers!
Guess we’ll have to make due with what we’re given. Luckily, for us, what House of the Dragon has given us has been pretty tasty.

We’re just a few weeks away from once again getting swept up in the fantasy world of violence, dragons and weird incest when House of the Dragon premiers on HBO. To further amp up anticipation, we’ve gotten a new trailer showing us what we can expect in the second season of the hit HBO series.
Picking up where Season 1 left off, we see that King Aegon sits upon on the iron throne as he plots his revenge on his enemies while a civil war seems to be brewing amongst the Targaryns. Fans were asked to chose between the Black and Green councils just a few months ago. With King Aegon and Queen Rhaenyra ready to duke it out for the Iron Throne, Daemon Targaryen seems to be calculating his next move while dragons run rampant and war is on the horizon.
Though we all know how this ends thanks to the events of Game of Thrones (that last season was still trash), this new season of House of the Dragon promises to be filled with violence, plot twists, and of course, lots of fire breathing dragon action.
We. Can’t. Wait.
Check out the trailer for the second season of House of the Dragon, and let us know what your expectations are in the comments section below.

Another Black star from Max’s Game of Thrones spinoff, House of the Dragon, has to waste their time to call out a racist troll.
Spotted on TMZ, Actress Bethany Antonia shared how she handled a racist wasting space in her Instagram DMs, sharing a screenshot of the troll’s message to her in her Instagram Stories while adding a clever joke for good measure.
In the screenshot shared by Antonia, who plays Lady Baela Targaryen in the Game of Thrones spinoff, the troll insults her, even wishing she died on set.
Showing her followers the hate she receives for playing a character that was originally white in the George R.R. Martin books, Antonia cleverly clapped back at the racist hater, adding, “Wait till they find out I’m gay too.”
In another post, Anotonia shared a photo of herself smiling with crystal hair art with the message, “Y’all won’t ruin this first glimmer of dragon joy for us negroes.”
To drown out the racist hate Antonia was receiving, fans have taken to her posts’ comment sections to shower her with support.
Per Blavity:
Fans have rushed to Antonia’s side, running to her comments to share some much deserved love.
“Hi coming on here to counteract the hate you’re getting in your dms!! hope you’re well + you’re the prettiest
