‘House of the Dragon’ Season 2 Release Schedule: When Do New Episodes Air?
A return to Westeros is imminent with the second season of Max’s House of the Dragon arriving this summer. The prequel series, based on George R. R .Martin’s Song of Ice and Fire book series — specifically Fire & Blood, tells the story of the Targaryen lineage alongside the familys Hightower and Velaryon.
Set 200 years before the events of Game of Thrones, the story of House Targaryen unfolded over some major time jumps in the first season, transporting back between young versions of characters and their adult counterparts.

What is House of the Dragon Season 2 about?
Season 2 will challenge viewers to pick a side in the ongoing civil war, known as the Dance of the Dragons, between the Green and Black Councils, who stand behind King Aegon and Queen Rhaenyra, respectively. The two figures will go head to head for the Iron Throne, each with a claim to rule Westeros with their lineage and descent.
With an early renewal of the Game of Thrones prequel for a third season before Season 2 even drops, the plot will likely thicken in a full-blown war full of more epic dragon battles.
