We’re almost back in Westeros. Twenty months after the season-one finale, House Of The Dragon returns on June 16 with eight new episodes. HBO’s Game Of Thrones spinoff isn’t perfect (here’s what we would change), but it strikes a chord with its epic world-building, fascinating characters, and, of course, way more dragons than the original ever had. Based on George R.R. Martin’s Fire & Blood novel, HOTD is set two centuries before GOT and depicts the brutal Targaryen dynasty clash that led to war called The Dance of the Dragons.

The show debuted in 2022 and slowly won over audiences, even those scarred from GOT’s final season, including this writer. With season two almost here, this is your refresher on the key storylines to remember so you’re not constantly running to Wikipedia while watching the series.
