Yes, it's been a while since I've posted anything in relation to the expansive fantasy universe created by George RR Martin but here we go.
First of all, the second season of House Of The Dragon has gotten into it's swing, promotion wise. Over a fortnight, HBO released this character poster for the eight episode second season as well two new trailers.
The first trailer focusing on The Blacks with Emma D'Arcy (Rhaenyra Targaeryan) voicing the introduction while the second trailer had Tom Glynn-Carney (Aegon II Targaeryan) drumming up support for The Greens. As a marketing ploy, this was a great way to illustrate that both sides were going to war. Saying that, I'm still Team Black though as the show will make it's return during the summer on HBO.
HBO of course seem determined to stay in the A Song Of Fire And Ice business because the next show to happen will be A Knight Of The Seven Kingdoms: The Hedge Knight. The series will have Steven Conrad as a writer and executive producer while Peter Claffey and Dexter Soll Ansell will lead the series. Claffey will play the Knight in question, Dunk while Ansell will be the Squire, Egg.
This prequel series will take place before the events of Game Of Thrones but after the events of House Of The Dragon. The series will be going into production soon and will air on HBO in 2025.
If that wasn't enough, it was also recently confirmed that Mattson Tomlin (The Batman) will also writing a series based on Aegon's Conquest, which might be the most ambitious series yet, should it get picked. There seems to be a lot different spin-off ideas in various development stages, including the much mooted Jon Snow sequel series, a show focusing on The Sea Snake as well as some animated shows to boot. Now whether or not these shows will get off the ground is another thing. In recent weeks images from abandoned spin off Bloodmoon also leaked online as well.
House Of The Dragon Season 2 will air Sundays 9pm on HBO from June 16th with UK/Irish viewers will get it the next day on Sky Atlantic.
