House of Dragons Season 2: Release Date, New Cast, and Wh

The spinoff series is based on George R.R. Martin’s book “Fire & Blood” and takes place roughly 200 years before the events of Game of Thrones and about 100 years after the Targaryens united the Seven Kingdoms. The series stars Paddy Considine, Matt Smith, Olivia Cooke, Tom Glynn-Carney, Emma D’Arcy, Steve Toussaint, Eve Best, Fabien Frankel, Sonoya Mizuno, Rhys Ifans, and more.

The first season debuted with massive success in August 2022. House of the Dragon earned the biggest premiere audience ever for an original series for both HBO and HBO Max (now Max). Season 1 averaged 29 million viewers an episode over linear and streaming, per Variety. The network swiftly renewed the spinoff for Season 2 one week after its premiere.

House of the Dragon was also nominated for nine Emmys and two Golden Globes, winning the Globe for best drama TV series for Season 1. Here’s everything to know about Season 3 (so far).

The second season of House of Dragons will be released on Sunday, June 16. Making it the perfect weekend binge, the season will premiere exclusively on HBO TV channel and the episodes will be available to stream on Max the same day.

In the first four (of eight) episodes made available for review, these disparate characters mix together to create something bad, but also fine, and maybe sometimes good. Smith, one of the great actors of his generation, is completely wasted, puttering and pouting about. The battles are better, and (finally) adequately lit. But the plot twists are based on logical fallacies and require too much suspension of disbelief. Some things are far too easy − assassins creep into castles unchallenged, dragons fly across vast expanses of land in the blink of an eye − and some things are far too difficult and convoluted. Who’s fighting? Where? Why? Who is loyal to whom, or is it all just arbitrary? How many sons does Alicent have? And is Cooke really only two years older than the actor who plays her son?
At times, it’s hard not to be absolutely furious at this show. The writers consistently pick the less interesting, less challenging storytelling choice. There is so much lost potential in every boring decision and lackluster line reading. When so much time, energy and money is invested in a series like “Dragon,” when there is so much labor from so many actors and crew members, the finished product has to be worth all this effort. When I see dragons battling in the sky, their riders had better have as much glory, magnetism and power as those CGI beasts. So far, these bickering Targaryens can’t measure up to the great heroes and villains of the best days of “Thrones.”
