House of the Dragon showrunner teases “pretty epic” battle scenes in Season 2

Fans of House of the Dragon have been waiting for roughly two years for the release of Season 2 of the show after the highly positive 2022 premiere. Quite recently, we saw the release of three brand-new Game of Thrones teasers, which went viral online and had viewers gasping at how terrifying the details seem. Showrunner Ryan Condal recently hyped up the upcoming season even more.

House of the Dragon Season 2 to have two major battle scenes

The Game of Thrones franchise is known for its battle scenes of epic proportions. Its prequel, House of the Dragon, will undoubtedly feature quite a few. Showrunner Condal told EW in a recent interview:

“This season, we shot two of the largest sequences that certainly I’ve ever done as a maker of television, certainly that House of the Dragon has ever done. I don’t know that they’re bigger necessarily than anything Game of Thrones has done, because they got pretty big in the end. But certainly we’re going to see new things that you have not seen before within this world. There’s some pretty epic stuff to come. It’s just a couple months away, guys.”

Which characters get the spotlight in House of the Dragon Season 2?

House of the Dragon Season 2 will feature a number of new characters. Condal also talked about the characters the new season will be focusing on:

“The characters that I immediately wanted to get into are the characters that we didn’t get to spend a ton of time with at the end of the season because of the needing to move through 20 years of narrative. We did not get to spend a lot of time with Aemond, Helaena, Jace, Baela, or Rhaena. Those characters are so immediately connected to Rhaenyra, Alicent, Daemon [Matt Smith], Viserys, and Otto that we wanted to immediately shine the spotlight on them and get into their internal lives and what they make of all of this.”
