House Of The Dragon shares competing Green and Black trailers ahead of season 2
House Of The Dragon season 2 premieres June 16 on Max
TV News House of the Dragon
It may be time to pick your favorite teams for March Madness in our world, but in the fake, better world, another showdown is heating up—literally. House Of The Dragon’s Team Green and Team Black are flying back to both King’s Landing and our television screens on June 16 to battle it out for the Iron Throne, and all must choose which side they’re on.
That includes viewers like you. Max dropped not one but two new trailers for season two of the Game Of Thrones spinoff today, one for each opposing army. As a refresher, Team Black refers to those who support Princess Rhaenyra’s claim to the throne, while Team Green supports Aegon Targaryen, the son of the late king Viserys and Alicent Hightower.
While season one spun its wheels a bit at the beginning introducing us to its massive new cast of Westerosi kings, princesses, and dragon riders, season two promises action right from the jump. When we last saw Rhaenyra, she was a woman-turned-battle-ax, reeling from the death of her son, Luke, at the hands—well, mouth—of Vhagar, the largest dragon in the world, and its rider, her half-brother Aemond Targaryen. Now the war has truly arrived, and from the looks of it, House Targaryen is going to more than earn its “fire and blood” mantra.
Even though House Of The Dragon is returning to Max sooner than initially expected, we’ll still have to wait a while for the return of some of our other favorite HBO shows due to the strikes this past summer. (That means, sadly, no White Lotus or The Last Of Us until 2025.) But if a whole Targaryen civil war isn’t enough, there are a boatload of GOT spinoffs still to come. You can also check out the original Game Of Thrones showrunners’ newest show, 3 Body Problem, which premieres today on Netflix.

Honestly, after a while of reading Fire and Blood I was just thinking “I hope they all die horribly.” Which is convenient given Martin’s writing style.
It’s pretty crazy that the fire breathing monsters are the most sympathetic characters in this story. Some of their deaths were really sad.
Those deaths were really dragon me down.
I loved the first season. I rarely watch shows as they come out, so I relish the chance to share the experience with others when I do get to have it.
And yet, I’m dreading the release of this next season, because the fandom was so exhausting the last time around, and it doesn’t help that the marketing itself is trying to stoke fandom wars.
The Gen Z fans on Twitter and other social media are kind of treating the show like it’s anime – shipping characters, obsessed with Aemond, etc. – and yeah as a fan of the books it makes no sense in context and is very annoying lol
I looked at the header image and was like “wait, who the fuck are those people?” The time jump recasting really did not do this show any favors. Edit: Also “official black trailer” just makes me think:
Well, one of Rhaenyra’s sons died and one is now a toddler, it looks like – is the older kid a recast or just the same actor slightly older? I can’t tell.
What an entirely forgettable mess the first season was.
I have never watched any of the GoT shows and have zero interest in this one, but kudos, releasing separate trailers for each side is pretty clever.
