We can not wait! On Sunday, August 21, 2022, HBO Max unveiled ‘House of the Dragon’ in its options catalog, which debuted with great success at the launch of its first episode. This Sunday 28 will be the premiere of its second episode, the name of which has not been revealed, but which expects the success of the franchise to continue.

Here we do not encourage spoilers and respect the sequence of the episodes. If you haven’t seen the first one and still intend to do so, stop right away and don’t go any further. If you’ve already seen it and want a brief summary of what happened so as not to miss the premiere of the second chapter, this is for you.

What happened in the first episode of “The Dragon’s House”?

The episode 1 of “The Dragon’s House” premiered on August 21st with the name ‘The heirs of the dragon’, beginning with Rhaenyra Targaryen (Milly Alcock), eldest daughter of Viserys Targaryen (Paddy Considine), two central characters of the series that will be fundamental in the next chapters and that we must not lose sight of.

Viserys occupies the Iron Throne, but has no male heir to replace him, and her daughter has no intention of taking a position inside the Red Keep, nor in the face of forced attempts to Alicent Hightower (Emily Carey) in convincing her to let her father consider her for the date.

The king was expecting his first son, an event that kept him very excited, because although he was already a father, this would be the first son that his wife had given him Emma. Unfortunately, both the mother and the child die during childbirth, which, beyond the pain that this generates, is a conflict for the future heir to the Iron Throne.

Targaryen demon (Matt Smith), who is the brother of King Viserys, and the greatest troublemaker in King’s Landing as a city guard, shunned by the King’s Council for the powers and freedoms he takes. He is convinced that he is the next chief of Westeros, but the king has chosen his daughter Rhaenyra as the new official heir and sends his brother him back to Runestone with his dragon.

The first episode occurred 172 years before the birth of our beloved Daenerys Targaryen in “Game of Thrones” (Emilia Clarke).

Regarding the second episode of “House of the Dragon” we have no further clues, but this is where the action and the plot will take effect the fantasy series that continues Sunday August 28 on HBO Max. Rhaenyra Targaryen will face her new life and bigger problems.

Chaos is coming to the Seven Kingdoms by not accepting that a woman has been chosen as the new heir to the Iron Throne, never in history a power dispute, if one of them won to sit in the most powerful chair in the world. and take command. The dispute and rebellion have begun.
