House of the Dragon is back.
In Season 2 Episode 1, there's bloody murder, and scandalous sex, while the realm is on the precipice of war.
So who are all these blond people, what happens, and what does it mean?
This video has no spoilers for future episodes – but includes extra info from the books and from interviews to more deeply explore HOT D. In Season 1, the opening credits sequence showed the Targaryen bloodline in a model city.
Now there's a new sequence of a tapestry, telling the story of Targaryen history from ancient times to now.
