‘House of the Dragon’ will return for Season 2 of blood, mayhem, incest
“Game of Thrones” spinoff “House of the Dragon” has been renewed for a Season 2. According to HBO, the series’ premiere episode on Sunday was the largest debut in HBO history and has now been seen by more than 20 million viewers across linear, on-demand and HBO Max platforms. Set around 200 years before the events of “Game of Thrones,” the show follows the antics of House Targaryen — Daenerys and Jon Snow’s ancestors, who are notorious for riding dragons, having silver hair (in a series of increasingly questionable wigs), killing each other and practicing incest. The series premiere set up a premise where King Viserys (Paddy Considine) was anticipating getting a male heir — but things went sideways when he made a medical decision on behalf of his wife, effectively killing her, via a harrowing, medieval cesarean section (which fans responded to on social media).In the end, the baby boy didn’t live, either.
