Everything to know about House of the Dragon season 2 trailers

The first trailer is about Team Black led by Rhaenyra, who claims to be the rightful heir to the Iron Throne. She along with Prince Daemon and their forces on Dragonstone wage a fight against Team Green for the Kingdom. The other trailer shows reasons why you should side with Team Green led by the King’s Landing team of Alicent, her father Otto and her children King Aegon and Prince Aemond.

These events took place 200 years before the events of Game of Thrones.

Meanwhile, in King’s Landing, young King Aegon is doubling down on his claim to the Iron Throne, which his half-sister Rhaenyra views as her rightful inheritance from their late father. There is also a glimpse of Winterfell in the new trailer. At the moment, it is under Cregan Stark.
