The latest teaser for House of the Dragon’s second season suggests a violent civil war in Targaryen.

Warner Bros. teased fans about the war-heavy plot of the Game of Thrones prequel series on Tuesday with the release of a new teaser for the second season of House of the Dragon. In the teaser, it is made clear that House Targaryen’s dynasty is in danger due to an impending civil war that will be fought for the Iron Throne, which will feature dragon fire and clashing factions. On June 16, the eight-episode season will debut.

Which team are you on, Black or Green?

The battle between Rhaenyra Targaryen and Aegon, the king’s firstborn son, is hinted at in the latest teaser video. The new season of Fire & Blood, which is based on George R. Martin’s novel, is introducing the Targaryen family’s rivalry in the novel’s Dance of the Dragons plot.

The Targaryen civil war is introduced in the trailer with King Aegon II usurping the throne of Rhaenyra. To seize the Iron Throne, the Blacks, under the leadership of Rhaenyra and Daemon, plot an assault of King’s Landing. Aegon’s supporters, the Greens, are organising a defence in the meantime. The teaser includes several images of the ensuing brutal, violent conflict, political intrigue, and what looks to be a trip to the Wall.

The second season of HBO’s popular Game of Thrones spin-off House of the Dragon is scheduled to debut in June. The second season of Game of Thrones will carry on the Targaryen dynasty’s saga, which begins over 200 years before the show’s events.

HBO defends JK Rowling’s involvement in Harry Potter series despite problematic stance on transgender community

JK Rowling, whose Harry Potter book franchise gave Warner Bros a blockbuster film franchise, is also associated with its upcoming HBO series.

JK Rowling has remained decidedly steadfast on her controversial stance on the transgender community. In a statement to Variety, HBO explained why the author is still involved in its upcoming series on Harry Potter despite her problematic gender politics.

What HBO said

“We are proud to once again tell the story of Harry Potter — the heartwarming books that speak to power of friendship, resolve and acceptance. JK Rowling has a right to express her personal views. We will remain focused on the development of the new series, which will only benefit from her involvement,” HBO’s statement stated.

It also added that its parent company Warner Bros “been working with JK Rowling and in the Harry Potter business for over 20 years” and “her contribution has been invaluable.” The report also states that HBO chief Casey Bloys informed the media at an event on November 12 that JK Rowling was “very, very involved in the process selecting the writer and the director,” and her anti-trans statements “haven’t affected the casting or hiring of writers or productions staff.”

A couple of days before that, Rowling had shared a screenshot of a tweet by an X user who wrote, “My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined” when the author had revealed that she’s “very involved” in the Harry Potter series. Rowling wrote along with the screenshot, “I’ve only just seen this response to me saying I’m very involved in the Harry Potter TV show and I think I’ve pulled something laughing.”

About Harry Potter series

Warner Bros launched an open casting call for the leads Harry, Hermoine and Ron, who were played by Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint, respectively, in the eight-part movie franchise.

The series will most likely go ahead with newcomers for the top three characters and mix it with veterans for the adult cast, like the movie franchise, which featured Richard Harris as Dumbledore and roped in Michael Gambon after his death. Late star Maggie Smith played Professor McGonagall, and Alan Rickman starred as Professor Snape.

Mark Rylance, 64, who won an Academy Award for best supporting actor in 2016 for his work in Steven Spielberg’s Bridge of Spies, is reportedly at the top of the casting wishlist to play Dumbledore in the Harry Potter series.
