House of the Dragon’s season 2 is less than a month away from finally arriving at Max, and all the new details coming in leave no doubt that it will probably be the fiercest war that Westeros has ever seen.
With House of Targaryen’s members split into two rival teams, the fight for the Iron Throne within the same family is set to put its leaders aside while now bringing to the light those who acted in the shadows all that time.
Judging by the most recent revelations, House of the Dragon’s upcoming season is going to give more of an evil arc for the character that escalated the whole confrontation between the Blacks and the Greens back in season 1.
The previous installment’s ending shows Rhaenyra’s son Lucerys finding his tragic death in a dragon chase started by Alicent’s son Aemond. The season’s last...

Shogun is the best thing that ever happened to Hulu.
It currently sits in the number one spot as the most-watched program in FX's history, backed by massive critical acclaim.
It doesn't begin or end there, either. The book, published in 1975, was also a massive hit, as was the succeeding 1980s TV mini-series.
Since the release of the most recent iteration, television critics and reviewers have brushed off the idea of a second season, much less a third.
The series and the book both end in the same place, after all. Besides a loosely related 1993 novel, Gai-Jin, James Clavell never wrote a sequel.
Only a week ago, most media outlets were waxing poetic about the show's profound wonders and sulking over the sudden loss of Shogun after a ten-episode run.
It's hard to blame them. What else is there to cover?
Sure, showrunners Justin Marks and Rachel Kondo did...

House of the Dragon Producers Reveal Plans for Season 3 - Main Image
The first season of House of the Dragon was released to great success. Thus, it’s a no-brainer that it was renewed for another season, though with a reduced episode count. Now, the show's producers share their plans for House of the Dragon Season 3 in case HBO renews the show.
Compared to the 10-episode first season, House of the Dragon Season 2 will only have eight episodes.
Of course, many expected it to be as long as the first one, but the producers revealed they had no control over the reduced episode count.
In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, the series’ executive producer, Sara Hess, claimed this move wasn’t a creative call. Though she couldn’t say anything about it, she stressed it “wasn’t really our choice.”
But despite this change, plans for the hit HBO series are already sealed.

Actor Ryan Corr reflected on his “magical” experience on the HBO series House of the Dragon in his new uInterview.
Based on George R.R. Martin’s Fire & Blood, House of the Dragon is set almost 200 years before the events of Game of Thrones. It tells the story of the Targaryen civil war when King Viserys I Targaryen’s children battled for control of the Iron Throne. The show stars celebrities like Milly Alcock, Matt Smith and Olivia Cooke.
When asked what stood out to him while on set, Corr explained to uInterview founder Erik Meers, “You’re really just stepping onto a platform with just some of the most incredible people. You don’t really have to suspend your disblief when it’s like that, you’re literally working into operational castles with fire and things like that.”
Corr shared a moment of awe for central actor Smith in one of the scenes.

Now, here’s a crossover we did not know we needed!
The excitement for House of the Dragon season 2 is palpable. All brands are jumping onto the marketing bandwagon and benefitting from the vast popularity of the dragon-laden HBO show. While basketball certainly has no place in Westeros or King’s Landing, that did not stop NBA superstar Shaquille O’Neal from meeting a majestic dragon.

We always knew how powerful and majestic the Targaryen dragons are, but we never anticipated that they would burn a popular NBA legend to a crisp. On the sports commentary show NBA on TNT, Shaquille O’Neal presented a culinary gift to a member of the House of the Dragon cast.

With House of the Dragon’s season 2 making its way to the screens pretty soon, Game of Thrones’ universe is seemingly far from being discovered in full. The original show’s prequel takes everyone back to the House of Targaryen’s abundant story of betrayal and fight for the ultimate power with the help of their fantastic fire-breathing creatures.
Though House of the Dragon isn’t leaving the top of modern TV shows anytime soon anyway, the prequel seems to have another major upside that puts it at even a higher level than Game of Thrones itself.
The original show based on George R.R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire book series was all great, garnering everyone’s accolades and numerous prestigious awards, but it still failed to show the whole story’s main point.

I’m going to tell you something that will instantly rattle a millennial body to its core: “Glee,” the Fox musical dramedy that became a phenomenon before becoming a dark cultural tale, premiered 15 years ago, on May 19, 2009.
To make you feel slightly better about the passage of time, that date is a bit of a cheat: Because Fox suspected it had an honest-to-goodness hit on its hands, the network premiered the first episode after the “American Idol” Season 8 finale in May, before beginning the full season a few months later in September.
Still, May 19 was the day the world first was re-reminded of the wonder of “Don’t Stop Believin,’” witnessed the instantly iconic combo of cringe and charisma that was Rachel Berry/Lea Michele, and considered the shocking declaration that someone could be both an athlete and a singer.

When HBO’s House of the Dragon premiered, one of the most controversial casting decisions was the choice of Matt Smith as Daemon Targaryen. Alongside fans of George R.R. Martin’s Fire & Blood, even critics were skeptical that the Doctor Who star could bring the necessary depth and complexity to the role of the rogue prince.

However, despite the massive backlash that started after Matt Smith’s casting, showrunner Ryan Condal and casting director Kate Rhodes James took a gamble on Smith’s abilities. Eventually, it paid off wonderfully, when The Crown veteran proved the critics wrong in his portrayal of the Daemon.

The most recent House of the Dragon Season 2 teaser has sparked a lot of comments and arguments. Following the release of the most recent eye-opening teaser, fans have been itching to find out the answers to many pressing issues. Fans were drawn to two clips in particular because they appeared to be in the same location throughout the many scenes and snippets in the House of the Dragon Season 2 teaser. We see Ser Criston Cole galloping across a clear field on his horse, being chased by Baela Targaryen.
Why is Baela Targaryen chasing Criston Cole?
Many eagle-eyed viewers might’ve caught that both the snippets with Cole and Baela belong to the same scene. And by the looks of it, Cole is fleeing from her. But why is she even on the battlefield?
One theory suggests that in the Battle of Rook’s Rest, it is Baela who arrived first.

[This story contains major spoilers from the May 17 episode of Doctor Who, “Boom.”]
During Russell T Davies’ first time in charge of BBC behemoth Doctor Who, one of its regular writers often wrote some of its more memorable and popular stories.
Scottish writer, Steven Moffat, had made a sizable name for himself in the U.K. with television shows such as Press Gang and Coupling, and would bring new terrors to young Whovians in the form of Gask Mask Zombies and the Weeping Angels. When Davies came to leave the show, Moffat was the natural choice to replace him.
He cast Matt Smith (The Crown, House of the Dragon) as the youngest ever actor to play the role and made huge strides in the U.S. cementing Doctor Who’s popularity. Moffat would leave the role of showrunner after seven years (and after casting Peter Capaldi to play Smith’s successor).

What Do We Know About Dune Prophecy? More than you may think. With the second part of Denis Villeneuve’s adaptation of Frank Herbert’s classic science fiction novel a critical and box office success, it is going to be several years before we see the next feature film in the series, Dune Messiah. Luckily, production on the small-screen prequel /spin-off was concurrent with Dune: Part Two which means before the end of the year we are going to return to the fictional realms of Arrakis, Geidi Prime, and more via Max.
While not much in the way of footage has made its way online, there have been quite a few reveals about Dune Prophecy, so let’s jump in and discuss.

In less than a month, the highly anticipated House of the Dragon Season 2 will premiere on HBO. House of the Dragon, a prequel to GoT based on the fictional historical chronicle Fire and Blood, tells the story of a blood-soaked conflict that erupted in the lands of Westeros two centuries earlier, no less deadly than the main events of the original series.

If everything wasn’t of the greatest caliber, a show like Game of Thrones would not have reached such heights. The two areas where the play truly excelled were the costume and wig designs. Hence, its prequel House of the Dragon including some of the best TV costumes and wigs ever produced shouldn’t come as a surprise. And Emma D’Arcy, who plays Rhaenyra, absolutely loves them.
Emma D’Arcy loves their House of the Dragon wig
The reaction to the wigs on House of the Dragon has been quite mixed. However, the one D’Arcy wears for Rhaenyra has been loved unanimously. In a recent interview with the Es magazine, D’Arcy said: “I’m very lucky, I look very different in the show. The blonde wig is a piece of armour that protects me. I have a very normal, ordinary day-to-day life and it suits me.”

It used to be all about the trailers and the broadcast fall schedules. Now those are largely a thing of the past as the media sector’s upfront presentations to Madison Avenue ad buyers continue to evolve.
Following a week of spin and hard sales, here are eight central takeaways after Netflix, Amazon, NBCUniversal, Disney, Warner Bros. Discovery, YouTube and Fox made their pitches.

One of the major turning points in Targaryen’s history was Aegon’s Conquest. Aegon I rose to power and decided to consolidate the seven kingdoms. Thus, he became the first king of the seven kingdoms and forged an Iron Throne. We already have a Game of Thrones spinoff around this in the works, and the writing seems to be going well.
Who is writing the script for Aegon’s Conquest?

Romania-based filmmaker and writer Mattson Tomlin is currently working on scripting Aegon’s Conquest. The show will dive into the historical events that made House Targaryen one of the most fierce and courageous families in the world. Though there is no dedicated book written on this significant event, Tomlin claimed that he is crafting the show based on the pages of Fire & Blood dedicated to this narrative.

A year ago, Emma D’Arcy unwittingly boosted sales of an alcoholic beverage and its ingredients. If you’re not familiar with the situation, Max released a TikTok featuring House of the Dragon co-stars Emma D’Arcy and Olivia Cooke. In the video, they discuss their favorite cocktails, and D’Arcy says, “Negroni, Sbagliato, with prosecco.” It went viral and became one of the most famous memes of 2022. However, she is not fond of the meme.
Olivia Cooke didn’t like being in a meme
Despite the popular meme adding to their fame, D’Arcy hated the clip that went on to go so viral. During the recent photoshoot with EW, D’Arcy confessed: “I don’t have anything illuminating to say on it because it’s very hard to know how to react when you become a meme.”
Cooke explained, “We were just trying to make each other laugh. There’s...

The history of the Targaryens is as convoluted and twisted as it comes. There is good reason to fear this fabled family—they are notorious for their incest, internal strife, and constant backstabbing. The Blacks and Greens, who formed the once powerful House of the Dragon, split apart and are taking up positions on opposing sides of the battleground. And Emma D’Arcy’s Rhaenyra, leading the Blacks, will be seen in a completely different form.
Rhaenyra’s sense of betrayal in House of the Dragon Season 2
After witnessing a series of deaths and betrayals, Rhaenyra is in a deep state of mourning. D’Arcy, in a recent interview with the Es magazine, states, “Those who’ve watched the first series will know that we left Rhaenyra having just received the news of her son’s murder. We pick up in series two about two weeks later, so that loss remains very raw.

House of the Dragon’s season 2 is coming back with a huge battle for the power between the split House of Targaryen’s members, and the full-scale war has never been closer, though the show’s final trailer may have just introduced some unexpected turn of events for one side of the whole drama.
The trailer dropped a couple of days ago still proves that Rhaenyra and Alicent are each other’s sworn enemies, but one of them appears to have second thoughts about everything that is about to happen.
Alicent’s Storyline Is Much More Tragic Than It Seems
In Game of Thrones’ epic prequel, Alicent is probably the one that suffered the most despite her seemingly enviable social position as Queen Consort and later on mother of the future King of the Seven Kingdoms.

Both House of the Dragon and Fallout immediately became international hits, and they share quite a few similarities between them — they both throw immensely talented but ultimately underrated actors into increasingly dangerous situations in beloved fictional worlds that were once very niche. Speaking of HotD and Fallout’s stars, though, these series brought many of them the recognition they deserved.
And now, they’re ready to tackle their next big challenge: killer squirrels. What?
New Horror Comedy Stars Talents from Iconic Shows
As recently reported by Screen Daily, director Craig Roberts is currently working on a new project: a horror comedy movie with an utterly bizarre premise. In The Scurry, a band of deranged killer squirrels decides to seek revenge on the visitors and staff of a nearby eco-café, leading the mortified and terrified humans to defend themselves.
For his upcoming flick, Roberts booked two stars from the biggest sensations of the past two years.

One of the most comforting things fans find about House of the Dragon is the fact that the show is based on a complete story by George R. R. Martin and shouldn't deviate too much from the original plot. It was the writers' bad decisions that made the ending of Game of Thrones so traumatic for so many people, and now they should've been much calmer.
However, as it was already obvious in season 1, the story behind House Targaryen has also been changed to fit another narrative pushed by the show. Alicent and Rhaenyra were made much closer in age, and Alicent ended up being the one who de facto led Team Green into the war by putting her son on the Iron Throne.
From the looks of it, the changes aren't over yet.

Set in George Martin’s massive World of Ice and Fire, Game of Thrones has a vast and yet untapped spin-off potential. Apart from House of the Dragon, there have been countless ideas and projects in discussion over at HBO in the past few years, and one of the most prominent ones — Aegon’s Conquest — is already in early development, with George Martin being actively involved in it.
Aegon’s Conquest’s Writer Gives Update on the Project
Screenwriter Mattson Tomlin isn’t a stranger in the industry by any means. The Terminator franchise, Keanu Reeves’ Brzrkr, Robert Pattinson’s The Batman: Part Two — he’s working with many prosperous titles. But the one that specifically tickles Game of Thrones fans’ nerves is Aegon’s Conquest, the potentially upcoming prequel about the greatest Targaryen conqueror who created the Seven Kingdoms.

This article contains no spoilers for House Of The Dragon season 2. But it does broadly allude to events from the source material Fire & Blood.
House of the Dragon season 2 is merely one month away from its June 16 premiere on HBO. As such, many fresh tidbits are beginning to trickle out about the next batch episodes for the Game of Thrones prequel.
The latest, and most substantial download of information arrived yesterday in the form of a massive, revealing new trailer and an equally massive, revealing feature from Entertainment Weekly.

Author George R.R. Martin created the global phenomenon Game of Thrones when he wrote the fantasy novel series A Song of Ice and Fire. Set in a medieval fantasy realm where Seven Kingdoms fight to be the ruler of the lands, the novel series spawned the popular HBO show which won multiple Emmys and was one of the most-watched series.
After the show ended with season 8, which was largely considered to be disappointing, HBO commissioned multiple prequels, of which only House of the Dragon has seen the light of day. However, among the multiple prequels in development is Aegon’s Conquest, which sees the origins of the Seven Kingdoms. Writer Mattson Tomlin mentioned that Martin instructed him to avoid one mistake from Game of Thrones creators.

While mainstream media celebrities have to fight for every role in order to get some recognition from the audience, Internet fame is much more random and heavily based on the virality of the content you put out there. Once something goes viral, it's almost impossible to stop the hype train or change its direction.
Every once in a while, the two worlds collide and celebrities end up going viral on the Internet. Sometimes it has to do with some sort of scandal, but more often than not, they end up becoming memes. What the social media crowd doesn't think about is how easy it is for the actor to get lost behind the meme.

In the first season of House of the Dragon, we were shown many representatives of the main houses of the Seven Kingdoms: in addition to the Targaryens, we saw the Hightowers, Velaryons, and Lannisters.
However, the family that played a key role in Game of Thrones was unrepresented in the first season of House of the Dragon. Did the silent and stern Northern Starks really not participate in the events that were about to bring blood to the Seven Kingdoms?
Of course they did, and even played an important role, while managing to be true men of honor, which is extremely difficult in the conditions of war.
The hero of these events was the young, but already experienced Cregan Stark, who will appear in the second season. Cregan, played by Tom Taylor, can be seen in the Black trailer standing shoulder to shoulder with Jacaerys.

Milly Alcock’s work as a younger iteration of Rhaenyra Targaryen in House of the Dragon has given fans a good idea of just how talented she is as an actress. Her range has been one many have familiarised themselves with and so learning about the news of her casting as the titular character in Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow only proved to be the cherry on top.

With the many genres she has managed to work in, there is no denying that sometimes things may overlap. Other times genres get revisited. Today’s audience enjoys a mix of everything. Therefore, the number of fantasy projects is growing manifold. However, Alcock does not see herself in a fantastical role in the future. Rather, she wants to steer clear of it.

Upfront week’s reliance on films isn’t actually new but it is increasingly bizarre, as evidenced by the top of Wednesday morning’s Warner Bros. Discovery presentation kicking off with sizzle that prioritized features Furiosa, Dune: Part Two and Wonka — when new episodes of the HBO and Max’s flagship Game of Thrones spinoff, House of the Dragon, are just weeks away.
But the opening frames proved to be relatively misleading, as the 90-minute (notably David Zaslav free) pitch to advertisers focused almost exclusively on … advertising. And on linear TV, at that. Film was referenced, of course, but as a vehicle to get Procter & Gamble’s Olay in on the Barbie phenomenon. Ad sales execs literally offered up James Gunn’s first project of the new DC era to the room full of media buyers, asking who wants sponsorship deals ahead of its planned 2025 release: “Do you want to be in Superman?...

House of the Dragon’s highly anticipated season 2 is only a month away from finally arriving at the streaming, and one particular detail about the upcoming installment’s episodes may come as something disappointingly unexpected for the show’s fans.
The recent reports have recently revealed that the season’s overall run was shortened to 8 episodes instead of usual 10 with the prequel’s creators noting that it wasn’t up to them after all. However, House of the Dragon’s exciting future may have chances to make it up to the second season’s alleged imperfection.
Talking about the upcoming season to Entertainment Weekly, House of the Dragon’s writer Sara Hess opened up about some major changes that the show’s next installment had to endure.
A Shorter Season 2 Is Good For Season 3
Commenting on the decision to cut the season to a smaller amount of episodes, Hess admitted...

Warner Bros. Discovery kept up with TV upfronts week’s biggest trend at their presentation out of The Theater at Madison Square Garden Tuesday: Promoting not just its TV slate as a prime ad-buying opportunity — but also its film franchises.
First up from CEO David Zaslav’s team, WB Discovery revenue and strategy chief Bruce Campbell addressed the Madison Avenue crowd following a sizzle featuring top Wbd IP and brands across film and TV series. Then Mindy Kaling took the stage to promote her Max comedy “The Sex Lives of College Girls” before introducing HBO and Max chairman and CEO Casey Bloys.
“I know when you look at me, you see a young, beautiful mother,” Kaling said. “The truth is I am an old Max veteran. I was here way back when Max was HBO Max, it was this whole other thing. It was just me, ‘Tom & Jerry’ reruns...
