motivations of each council. Everyone in the realm — and the fans at home — must choose which side of House Targaryen they stand behind while they prepare to wage war against each other. “House of the Dragon” co-creator and showrunner Ryan J. Condal (“Colony”) spoke with Entertainment Weekly in March about the upcoming season, hinting that while the war begins because two half-siblings are jockeying for position on the throne, the fight for power becomes more complicated than that. Condal shared: “It’s a story of this family that’s been rent open by this dispute over who is meant to wear the crown after Viserys passes. Some people think it’s Rhaenyra, some people think it’s Aegon, and then there are other people within who think, ‘Why should it be one of the two of them? Maybe it should be someone else. Maybe it should be me!’”

About all of the pieces on the “House of the Dragon” chessboard, Condal added, “The fun of this Greek tragedy is seeing, when you introduce a power vacuum to a world like this, how all of these individuals react.” In an official trailer for the upcoming season, Alicent warns Aegon that war must be fought “cautiously,” while the king, fueled by revenge, embraces the battles to come with more passion than tact. Rhaenyra, meanwhile, questions whether Prince Daemon Targaryen (Matt Smith, “Doctor Who”) accepts her rule as he prepares for war, hungry to lead on his own. Experienced dragon rider Daemon amassed a number of dragons and eggs last season, making him a clear threat to the Green Council, but his loyalty to the Black Queen is also questionable — he may just live up to his name as the “Rogue Prince” with an army of fire breathers behind him.
