Leaked clips and photos from HBO’s House of the Dragon Season 2 sets have spoiled two major deaths.
SPOILER WARNING!
The filming for the second season has commenced in the beautiful towns of Trujillo and Caceres, in Spain. Thanks to the outsiders, they have recorded and leaked two major deaths from the upcoming HOTD season. These demises are the aftermaths of the events in George R. R. Martin’s Fire and Blood novel.
First leaked by Redanian Intelligence, the behind-the-scenes clips bestow the fans with an idea of what to expect from the forthcoming season. One of the clips shows Helaena (Phia Saban) and Queen Alicent (Olivia Cooke) attending the funeral of one of Helaena and Aegon’s children, a result of Daemon’s quest for revenge. In the novels, Daemon hires two assassins to kill one of the three children of Helaena and Aegon to exact vengeance for the death of Rhaenyra’s son, Lucerys Velaryon. Another video shows the head of a fan-favourite dragon. It shows that Season 2 will cover the events of “Battle at Rook’s Rest”, which focuses on the epic battle between Rhaenys’ dragon, Meleys, and the dragons of Aemond and Aegon II, Vhagar and Sunfyre, respectively. Though, the battle’s aftermath has not been disclosed, which includes Rhaenys’ unfortunate death.
House of the Dragon is one of the few shows whose production has not been halted due to the ongoing WGA strike. Martin has confirmed that the scripts were finished months ago and will not go under further revisions, “Every episode has gone through four or five drafts and numerous rounds of revisions, to address HBO notes, my notes, budget concerns, etc. There will be no further revisions. The writers have done their jobs; the rest is in the hands of the directors, cast and crew.”
Several cast members will reprise their characters in House of the Dragon Season 2, including Emma D’Arcy (Rhaenyra), Matt Smith (Daemon), Olivia Cooke (Alicent), Eve Best (Rhaenys), Fabien Frankel (Criston Cole), Rhys Ifans (Otto Hightower), and more. You can stream the first season on JioCinema. Stay tuned for more updates.
