Here are 10 theories, predictions, and new characters who could be introduced in House of the Dragon Season 2
House of the Dragon Season 1 is over, and HBO has confirmed we’ll have to wait until at least 2024 for Season 2. The Game of Thrones prequel spin-off has impressed fans and critics with its portrayal of the messy lives of Daenerys Targaryen’s ancestors – as developed from George R.R. Martin’s book Fire & Blood.
The board is set for the civil war known as the Dance of Dragons, which will see the Greens fight the Blacks as dragons clash with dragons and all of Westeros burns. While we wait for the next instalment, here are some predictions of new characters we’ll meet and plotlines which will take place in House of the Dragon Season 2. Spoilers have been kept to a minimum, but be warned for mild spoilers for Season 1 of House of the Dragon.
Ser Harrold Westerling, played by Scottish actor Graham McTavish (Outlander, The Hobbit), has a more prominent role in the House of the Dragon series than in the book. This noble knight gained fans' respect when he resigned as Lord Commander of the Kingsguard after the Green coup in Episode 8. So, could he appear to help the Blacks in Season 2? Photo: HBO
As Lords of Riverrun who control the crucial Trident River, the allegiances of Grover Tully and his grandson Kermit are crucial in the Dance of Dragons. And yes, George R.R. Martin named them after Muppet characters. Photo: Shutterstock
