Nowadays, TV shows are produced for longer, with much higher budgets than before, and attract a lot of A-listers to the cast. As a result, the wait between seasons can be several years, and viewers get more excited than just a few episodes. It is only fair that after such a long wait, and with so few episodes to indulge in, fans want to stay away from spoilers.
And yet, studios' reckless promo decisions are forcing spoilers down everyone's throats, no matter what the show is about.
House of the Dragon Season 2 Spoilers
There is a big difference between the studio releasing teasers, trailers, and even snippets of upcoming episodes, as these are carefully chosen to generate interest but not spoil the important parts. Once viewers or influencers see the actual episodes, social media gets flooded with unwanted spoilers.

The relationships in the Game of Thrones prequel House of the Dragon is a jumbling mess, and sometimes it is hard to keep track of. Incest is all too common in the Targaryen family, and one of the incestuous long-theorized couples belongs to the Green faction. Aemond and Helaena have shared a liking for each other. But did it ever turn into love?
Aemond and Helaena might be a thing in House of the Dragon
Fans have often shipped the two Targaryen siblings for a long time. In a recent interview with Decider, Phia Saban and Ewan Mitchell also hinted towards the same. Saban said: “I mean, sometimes Ewan [and I] will be doing a scene and we’ll be like, ‘Do it for Helaemond.’ And he’s like, ‘You know what the people want.’”
Mitchell too agreed to the fact, and said: “I think it’s nice to leave, you know,...

Officials in Mexico are protesting an HBO marketing campaign that uses historic locations to promote House of the Dragon season two.
The online campaign shows monuments around the world raising House Targaryen banners supporting either King Aegon (green) or Queen Rhaenyra (black). The videos have gotten plenty of online spread, with HBO rather cleverly employing a mix of CG-generated images and also actual flags being flown at certain locations — leaving many users confused as to which of these are real, and which are not.
One of the (fake) clips showed the historic Chapultepec Castle depicted flying black Targaryen flags, which has irked officials at Mexico’s National Institute of Anthropology and History.

Look, if you've been paying even the slightest amount of attention to /Film's coverage of all the various "Game of Thrones" spinoffs and prequels in development over the last few years, then you know exactly how we have to open this article about a previously-canceled series that might be coming back to life. In the prescient words of House Greyjoy: "What is dead may never die, but rises again harder and stronger."
While those house words were referring to the act of, uh, intentionally drowning themselves to prove how Tough they are (the Greyjoys were a weird bunch), it still feels pretty relevant when it comes to an unexpected bit of news regarding "10,000 Ships." It was initially reported to be in the works back in 2021 with writer Amanda Segel attached and was intended to tackle a particularly interesting era of Westerosi history. Centered on the legendary figure known as Princess Nymeria,...

As Game of Thrones fans prepare for the season two premiere of House of the Dragon this Sunday, saga creator George R.R. Martin is giving a promising update on a potential new series.
Martin revealed that the Princess Nymeria prequel Ten Thousand Ships is alive again and making progress under a new writer — Eboni Booth, who won a Pulitzer Prize in May for her play Primary Trust.
“She’s an amazingly talented young playwright, and a joy to work with; when not writing and producing her prize-winning plays on- and off-Broadway, she has been kept busy by me and HBO, working on a new pilot for Ten Thousand Ships, a Game of Thrones spinoff about Nymeria and the Rhoynar,” Martin wrote on his blog. “We’re all very excited about this one … though we’re still trying to figure out how we’re going to pay for 10,000 ships, 300 dragons and those giant turtles.

On June 16, the second season of House of the Dragon will premiere, a prequel to Game of Thrones that focuses on the reign of the Targaryen family, ancient rulers of dragons and owners of stormy temperaments.
In honor of the release of a new chapter of a great story, we have compiled a rating of the show's main characters – from the most fan favorite to straight up villains.
7. Viserys Targaryen
Throughout the first season, Viserys dies of an illness. However, despite this, Viserys retains a sharp mind to the very end, unlike most of the other characters. The only person who actually makes an effort to mend fences and bring the family together is Viserys. Especially his young wife Alicent and eldest daughter Rhaenyra.
Paddy Considine's character also deserves the title of the world's best dad – it is hard to imagine anyone in an epochal medieval fantasy so fiercely...

Fresh from routinely beating up dozens of violent idiots in the riotously entertaining Prime Video remake of Road House, Jake Gyllenhaal now dips his toe into the world of long-form prestige TV drama for the first time in what is ostensibly a more cerebral role as public prosecutor Rusty Sabich (rhymes with “savage”) in this new adaptation of Scott Turow’s 1987 bestseller.
The book was previously turned into a hit movie with Harrison Ford in the lead role in 1990, but while Ford’s performance was suitably enigmatic, never giving much away, Gyllenhaal depicts Sabich as a charming family man and principled public servant who also has major anger and honesty issues beneath his slickly handsome exterior. The more we get to know him, there’s an increasing sense that Gyllenhaal’s version of the character is desperately trying to keep a lid on his emotions.

Matt Smith is being praised online for gently course-correcting a red carpet interview in which a reporter misgendered his “House of the Dragon” co-star Emma D’Arcy. Smith and D’Arcy star on the “Game of Thrones” prequel series as Daemon and Rhaenyra Targaryen, respectively.
During an interview at the “House of the Dragon” Season 2 premiere in London, Smith chatted with reporter Sue Perkins on the red carpet about the climactic moment in the first season finale where Daemon informs Rhaenyra about the death of her son, Lucerys. Perkins, who hosts Sky’s fan show “House of the Dragon: War Room,” incorrectly used “she” pronouns when referring to D’Arcy. Perks said she spoke to D’Arcy earlier on the red carpet and “she gave you all the credit” for the scene.
“I can’t take the credit, [but] I have to say, aren’t they brilliant?” Smith answered, using D’Arcy’s preferred “they/them” pronouns.

HBO’s Casey Bloys tells Variety this week, “One of the advantages that I think we have as a company, putting aside HBO for a second, is all the Warner Bros. IP. So after House of the Dragon, the next big tentpole series that we have coming up will be the Penguin with Colin Farrell. That is coming out of Matt Reeves’ The Batman and it’s fantastic.

Jake Gyllenhaal had his mind blown when the actor had a revelation during an interview for Disney’s 2022 film Strange World. The actor starred in the film with Dennis Quaid who played the father of Gyllenhaal’s character. However, Gyllenhaal got the shock of his life when he realized that this was not the only time Dennis Quaid had played his father.
Jake Gyllenhaal’s Strange World || Disney
In an interview with Yahoo Entertainment, Jake Gyllenhaal came to the realization that he and Dennis Quaid had actually worked in a film before. The actors had recorded their lines separately for Strange World, which gave them little time to interact with each other during the production of the film. The press junket was where the actors spent most of their time together, and a prompt from the journalist interviewing them reminded Gyllenhaal that he had shared the screen with Dennis Quaid before.

Matt Smith is winning praise from the LGBTQ+ community over the way he subtly corrected a presenter who mistakenly misgendered his House of the Dragon co-star Emma D’Arcy.
Smith was interviewed by Sue Perkins, host of Sky’s official fan show House of the Dragon: War Room, at the London premiere of Season 2.
Perkins referenced an earlier interview she had done with D’Arcy and explained that “she gave you all the credit” for the final scene in Season 1, in which Rhaenyra Targaryen is informed by Daemon about the death of her son Lucerys.
D’Arcy’s preferred pronouns are they/them, which Smith repeated back to Perkins when he answered her question. “I can’t take the credit, [but] I have to say, aren’t they brilliant?” he said.

When asked what’s in the HBO and Max pipeline, Bloys told Variety, “One of the advantages that I think we have as a company, putting aside HBO for a second, is all the Warner Bros. IP. So after House of the Dragon, the next big tentpole series that we have coming up will be The Penguin with Colin Farrell. That...

The Batman was released to glowing reviews in 2022 and, while it could have easily been a standalone movie similar to Joker, Warner Bros. wasted no time in enlisting filmmaker Matt Reeves for a sequel.
Rumours of a second and third movie shooting back have proven false, but The Penguin is still on track to be released later this year. The Max series will bridge the gap between The Batman and The Batman II, chronicling Ozwald Cobblepot's rise to Gotham City Kingpin.
While we've previously been told that The Penguin will launch on the streamer this "fall," the official premiere month has just been shared by Casey Bloys, Chairman and CEO of HBO and Max content.

Der President & CEO Global Streaming bei Warner Bros. Discovery, Jb Perrette, hat sich in einem Interview auch zum Deutschlandstart des Streamingdienstes Max geäußert. Vor dem Hintergrund des heutigen Max-Launch in Frankreich sprach der Streaming-Chef ebenso über die drei wichtigen europäischen Märkte Deutschland, Großbritannien und Italien, in denen es einen Exklusiv-Deal über Wbd-Inhalte mit Sky gibt.
„Wir werden in den nächsten zwei Jahren auch nach Großbritannien, Deutschland und Italien kommen“, sagte Perrette im Bezug auf den Streamingdienst Max. Laut diverser Quellen läuft der Exklusiv-Deal zwischen Wbd und Sky Ende 2025 aus. Das passt genau auf die Formulierung Perrettes. Es ist also nicht davon auszugehen, dass Wbd noch aus dem Vertrag aussteigen wird.

Season 2 of House of the Dragon is almost here. The show is a prequel set before the events of Game of Thrones. Season 1 set up the conflict between the two factions of the Targaryen family, the Blacks and the Greens. Season 2 will launch into the Dance of the Dragons civil war.
Queen Rhaenyra Targaryen leads the Blacks, and King Aegon II Targaryen leads the Greens. The two sides will vie for their claim on the Iron Throne.
Season 2 will see many changes in how the story is told. Most importantly, we won’t have timejumps like in season 1. The story will be told in a much more linear fashion. Besides this, reports state that a new version of the opening credits for Season 2 will be added. Showrunner Ryan Condal commented further on adding this new intro during a Season 2 press roundtable.

Fans have seen Aemond Targaryen as a major villain in House of the Dragon after his dragon, Vhagar, kills Arrax and its master, Lucerys Velaryon, in the first season finale.

Aemond didn’t see the death of Lucerys and Arrax coming as he and his dragon, Vhagar, chased the two.
Aemond and Lucerys lost control of their dragons, with Arrax breathing fire on Vhagar against Lucerys’ protest.
But just when Lucerys thought they were safe after regaining control of Arrax and commanding him to fly over the storm clouds, an enraged Vhagar appeared, bit Arrax in pieces, and ate Lucerys whole.

The Madame Web actress made her name known all around the world with the erotic drama trilogy Fifty Shades of Grey (2015 - 2018) and the horror film Suspiria (2018). However, Dakota Johnson is also very much of a comedy performer.
Although the romantic comedy How to Be Single (2016) and the dramedy The Peanut Butter Falcon (2019), that starred the actress, weren’t quite successful, the 2022 movie that is now holding the second place on HBO’s global top is truly a must-watch.
The plot of this comedy-drama revolves around Lucy, a 32-year-old woman who seems not to make it through coming of age yet. Her only interest in life is her best friend Jane, who is about to leave her soon as she announces her moving to London.

House of the Dragon’s Matt Smith is set to come back as Daemon Targaryen in the show’s upcoming second season that’s just a week away from landing on streaming, and this time the character will surely be nothing like we saw him in the first season.
Usually quite unhinged, yet still villainous and relentless in his determination to do good for his family (but mostly himself), Daemon will come back as a quiet support for Rhaenyra who is set to change her gowns and jewelry for a shield and a sword.
Ahead of those major changes that House of the Dragon season 2 will bring alongside its full-scale war between the Blacks and the Greens, the actor reflected on what it would be like for his other iconic character to be transported to Game of Thrones’ universe, and, even given his total inconsistency with George R.R. Martin’s cruel fantasy world,...

But across Blackwater Bay at Dragonstone, Rhaenyra Targaryen (Emma D’Arcy) is fighting for her place in the succession. How did Rhaenyra and her former Bff’s son become dueling heirs to the Iron Throne? You can blame Hightower meddling, Targaryen incest, and one big dragon bite for this mess.

With all the revelations coming from the show’s creators and leading actors, it won’t come as a surprise that Game of Thrones’ prequel will now bring Rhaenyra and Alicent’s grown-up children to the main stage proving that their roles in the bloody battle will be much more significant than ever before.
Now that most of the fans are already aware of who will completely turn to their evil side in the next installment, the character’s actor opened up about the main inspiration source for the series’ new season, and it does sound scary even before the episodes’ arrival on streaming.

Actor Matt Smith was among those who instantly captivated showrunner Ryan Condal‘s attention. He was a promising talent who would have looked right at home in King’s Landing’s shadowy back lanes. Condal was further encouraged to sign him on by his recent portrayal of King Phillip in The Crown. And it seems like his character Daemon’s arc is his favorite in House of the Dragon‘s second season.
Ryan Condal is proud of Daemon’s storyline in Season 2
Daemon Targaryen is George R. R. Martin’s favorite Targaryen. He is also favored by the audience despite all of his flaws. Condal recently talked to SFX magazine, discussing his favorite storyline from House of the Dragon Season 2:
“The story that I’m most particularly proud of this year is Daemon’s story. It was very hard to break and very challenging to dramatize and film and then edit.

Plot: Westeros is on the brink of a bloody civil war with the Green and Black Councils fighting for King Aegon and Queen Rhaenyra, respectively.
Review: It was always going to be an uphill climb for House of the Dragon to live up to the peak of Game of Thrones. With an uneven first season but still better than the ending of the series that inspired it, House of the Dragon concluded its first season with the beginning of a civil war between Targaryens vying for the Iron Throne. Despite solid performances from Paddy Considine, Matt Smith, Emma D’Arcy, and Olivia Cooke, House of the Dragon‘s sprawling time jumps and reliance on dragons rather than intriguing characters worth investing in made it hard to care about what happened until the war began. Even though it is two episodes shorter than the previous season, House of the Dragon begins with...
