β€œFire and blood” come to Westeros in new House of the Dragon S2 trailer

14 May 2024 at 18:43

House of the DragonΒ returns to HBO Max for an action-packed second season next month.

The second season of House of the Dragon premieres in about a month, and we have one final action-packed trailer to boost anticipation. While the first season felt smaller and quieterβ€”in a good way, more focused on character relationships and political maneuveringβ€”the show seems to be pulling out all the stops in S2 as all-out war breaks out in the legendary "Dance of Dragons."

As previously reported, the series is set nearly 200 years before the events of Game of Thrones and chronicles the beginning of the end of House Targaryen's reign. The primary source material is Fire and Blood, a fictional history of the Targaryen kings written by George R.R. Martin. As book readers know, those events culminated in a civil war and the extinction of the dragonsβ€”at least until Daenerys Targaryen came along.

Sometime this summer, US customers will be able to buy a subscription to Max, Disney+, and Hulu together for a discounted price. The Wednesday announcement from respective owners Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) and Disney comes as the streaming industry combats a competitive subscription marketplace burdened by constant cancellations.

WBD and Disney didn't provide a specific release date for the package but said that people will be able to buy it from "any of the three streaming platform’s websites offered as both an ad-supported and ad-free plan.”

The companies didn't confirm a price, but the bundle should be cheaper than all three services combined, which would start at $47.97 per month for no ads and $25.97/month with ads.
