This second season of House of the Dragon is based on George RR Martin's novel Fire & Blood. According to Variety, after the shocking events of the Season 1 finale where Aemond kills Rhaenyra's son Lucerys and his dragon, war is looming in Westeros.

The blacks and greens are gathering armies, dragons, and allies for an impending, fierce conflict. In King's Landing, young King Aegon is determined to secure the Iron Throne, which his half-sister Rhaenyra claims is rightfully hers from their late father. Trailers also suggest a revisit to Winterfell, home of the Starks, now ruled by Cregan Stark in this prequel series.

New additions to the series include Tom Taylor as Lord Cregan Stark, Clinton Liberty as Addam of Hull, Jamie Kenna as Ser Alfred Broome, Kieran Bew as Hugh Hammer, Tom Bennett as Ulf, and Vincent Regan as Ser Rickard Thorne.

Other newcomers joining the cast include Abubakar Salim as Alyn of Hull, Gayle Rankin as Alys Rivers, Freddie Fox as Ser Gwayne Hightower, and Simon Russell Beale as Ser Simon Strong.
