Full spoilers follow for House of the Dragon episode 1. You’ve been warned.
House of the Dragon episode 2 is going to be a dramatic affair. TheGame of Thronesprequel show’s premiere was full of political intrigue and family drama, and it’ll come as no surprise for you to learn that things are only going to escalate from here on out.
For those who need a recap: there was a lot that went down in theHBO Max show’s opening episode. King Viserys lost his wife (and queen) and newborn son during a strenuous – and horrific to watch, might we add – childbirth sequence, meaning he had to choose between his brother, Prince Daemon, and daughter Princess Rhaenyra as his new heir to the Iron Throne. As you’ll hopefully recall, Viserys chose the latter and, after some less than wonderful – that’s putting it mildly – displays of power by Daemon, Viserys even exiled his sibling to Hightower, the realm he’s supposed to be lauding it over. The battle lines for the Targaryen civil war, then, have been drawn, and it’s only a matter of time before the real fighting begins.
But that’s enough of a plot catch-up. You’re here to find out when House of the Dragon’s second installment lands onHBO Max. Below, we’ll explain what time it’ll launch on the streaming service, as well as where you can watch episode 2 if HBO Max isn’t available in your world region. We’ll also provide a full rundown of season 1’s release schedule, so you’ll know when new episodes are released.
