Last week, not one, but two official trailers for "House of Dragons" Season 2 were released, forcing fans to publicly choose between Lenila Targaryen (Emma Darcy) and the Dragonstone gang and Alicent Hightower (Olivia Cooke) and the King's Landing gang The trailer is a great example of the kind of film we were initially inspired to make The trailer also confirmed the premiere date for the second season, which will air on HBO on Sunday, June 16, even sooner than we originally thought Other things to know about the release schedule for the new episodes are as follows

The first season of the "Game of Thrones" prequel series, which was set approximately 200 years before the main series and focused on the struggle for the succession of House Targaryen, had 10 one-hour episodes that ended with the dramatic finale "The Black Queen" on October 23, 2022 However, the second series will have only eight episodes and will be available every Sunday on HBO and Max

Little information is yet available on episode titles, but the premiere title for Season 2 is said to be "A Son for a Son" and Episode 4 will be called "A Dance of Dragons"

It is also not yet known whether the new episodes of this Emmy-winning fantasy series will run around an hour, as in the first season, or whether the big season finale on August 4 will be as long as some "Game of Thrones" finales There is no word

Also, in terms of storyline, season two will pick up shortly after the events of the first season finale, in which Laneira ascended the throne as queen of the Seven Kingdoms after the death of King Viserys Already opposed by her half-brother Aegon II (Tom Glynn-Kearney), her reign is tragically complicated when her son Lucerys is killed by his uncle Aemon's (Ewan Mitchell) dragon, further intensifying the struggle for the Targaryen succession And from the looks of these trailers, "House of Dragons" fans are likely to see more positive changes in Rainila's storyline than in the film as a result
