Here’s additional images from upcoming season of House of the Dragon, just unveiled for the first time…

HBO provided no synopsis for the season, saying only “Based on George R.R. Martin’s “Fire & Blood,” the series, set 200 years before the events of “Game of Thrones,” tells the story of House Targaryen.” Which … was pretty much the same as the first season.

House of the Dragon Season 2 premieres on HBO and Max next summer. (A specific date has yet to be announced.) The season will consist of eight episodes.
