Set around 200 years before the Game of Thrones, precisely 172 years before the birth of Daenerys Targaryen, House of the Dragon follows the war of succession in the House Targaryen. After the blockbuster success of the first season last year, the streaming platform Max unveiled the teaser for the second season on Saturday, December 2.
Season 2 will show dagons facing off against each other, as Rhaenyra Targaryen and Alicent Hightower go to war for Iron Throne. Rhaenyra says, "There is no war so hateful to the gods as a war between kin", and her aunt Rhaenys replies, "And no war so bloody as a war between dragons", as we see many soldiers burning alive and several dragons in battlefield in the small clip.
