The second season of House of the Dragon now finally has a release date after the release of two trailers showing off the civil war within House Targaryen . Dowager Queen Alicent Hightower ( Olivia Cooke ) chose to ignore the official wishes of the now-dead King Viserys I Targaryen (Paddy Considine) after she crowned their son King Aegon II Targaryen (Tom Glynn-Carney), convinced it was what her husband wished her to do. In opposition, Viserys' eldest child is crowned as Queen Rhaenyra I Targaryen ( Emma D'Arcy ) who's currently married to her uncle Prince Daemon Targaryen (Matt Smith) - and the pair disagree on how to approach what comes next.
