“A watch for an eye fixed, a son for a son. Lucerys will probably be avenged.”
Season 1 of HBO’s Sport of Thrones prequel sequence, Home of the Dragon, concluded with the loss of life of Queen (yeah, come at me Greens!) Rhaenyra’s beloved son Lucerys Velaryon by the hands (nicely, jaws) of Prince Aemond and his dragon Vhagar, and it sounds just like the distraught Rhaenyra goes to waste little time in in search of vengeance when season 2 will get underway.
In line with Redanianintelligence.com, the title for Home of the Dragon‘s opening season 2 episode is “A Son for a Son.”
The title comes from Daemon Targaryen’s letter (although he’ll little question say the phrases in individual within the episode) to Rhaenyra in response to Lucerys’ homicide, and signifies that we are going to see Daemon rent the notorious duo referred to as Blood and Cheese to sneak into the Purple Hold and perform an assassination of considered one of Aegon’s sons.
We already know that Sam C. Wilson and Mark Stobbart have been solid as Blood and Cheese, respectively, however we do not know if issues will play out within the present precisely as they do in George R.R. Martin’s Fireplace and Blood. The sequence has taken solely minor liberties thus far, although, so we won’t think about HBO deciding to make a serious change right here.
In the event that they do persist with the e book, Blood and Cheese will probably be profitable of their mission… however the loss of life in query is unlikely to carry Rhaenyra a lot in the way in which of satisfaction, as it is the six-year-old (although he is depicted as being older within the present) Prince Jaehaerys who suffers for his one-eyed brother’s crime.

“The prequel sequence finds the Targaryen dynasty on the absolute apex of its energy, with greater than 15 dragons below their yoke. Most empires—actual and imagined—crumble from such heights. Within the case of the Targaryens, their gradual fall begins nearly 193 years earlier than the occasions of Sport of Thrones, when King Viserys Targaryen breaks with a century of custom by naming his daughter Rhaenyra inheritor to the Iron Throne. However when Viserys later fathers a son, the court docket is shocked when Rhaenyra retains her standing as his inheritor, and seeds of division sow friction throughout the realm.”
Home of the Dragon stars Paddy Considine (Peaky Blinders) as King Viserys Targaryen, Olivia Cooke (Prepared Participant One) as Alicent Hightower, Emma D’Arcy (Wanderlust) as Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen and Matt Smith (Physician Who) as Prince Daemon Targaryen.
A precise season 2 premiere date has but to be introduced.
