Information on season 2

09:16 – Where were we before the first episode of season 2?

The first episode of season 2 directly follows the events of the finale of the first season of House of the Dragon. As a reminder, in the last episode broadcast two years ago, Alicent had her son Aegon crowned in disaster, convinced that it was the last wish of King Viserys. But Rhaenyra, previously designated as heir to the Iron Throne, does not see it that way and decides to rally the heads of the other houses, notably the Baratheons and the Starks, to her cause, with the help of her two sons. His younger brother, Lucerys, leaves to convince the Baratheons, but he finds himself face to face with his uncle, Aemond, whom he had blinded a few years earlier and who still harbors resentment towards him. A chase ensues and a clash between their respective dragons, but the masters lose control of the beasts and Aemond’s dragon ends up devouring Lucerys. Season 1 ends with the look of Rhaenyra, who has just heard the news of her son’s death, her eyes full of hatred and visibly determined to take revenge.

08:08 – Can we watch House of the Dragon anywhere other than on Max?

It is the Max streaming platform which is responsible for the distribution of House of the Dragon in France and the United States. But be aware that you do not necessarily need an account on this site to access its content, legally. Indeed, Warner Bros Discovery has concluded agreements with other channels and platforms. Thus, subscribers to the Canal+ Ciné Séries, Canal+ Friends & Family and Canal+ Intégrale packages can find the new episode of House of the Dragon at no extra cost directly on MyCanal. In addition, if you are a subscriber to Prime Video’s Warner pass, you can also watch season 2 of the prequel to Game Of Thrones directly on the Amazon website.

07:03 – You have to go to a new streaming platform to watch House of the Dragon

American viewers were finally able to discover the first episode of season 2 of House of the Dragon. But unlike the first season, it’s not on OCS that you have to go to watch it in legal streaming. From now on, it is the Max streaming platform, which exclusively broadcasts content from HBO channels in France, which broadcasts the new season of House of the Dragon. It is also on this new site launched last Tuesday on the French territory that you must go to find the first season and the complete version of Game Of Thrones.

06:08 – The first episode of season 2 has finally aired

It’s done, viewers were able to discover the first episode of season 2 of House of the Dragon. Due to the time difference, this was to be put online on the Max streaming platform during the night from Sunday to Monday, just after its broadcast on HBO in the United States (Sunday evening American time). Remember that it is possible to subscribe to this new site in France to discover the prequel of Game Of Thrones legally, whose prices vary between 5.99 euros per month (with advertisements), 9.99 euros per month (standard) and 13.99 euros per month (Premium subscription).

House of the Dragon is an American television series adapting the novel Fire and Blood by George RR Martin released in 2018. It is a chronicle dedicated to the Targaryen dynasty and above all a prequel to Game of Thrones, a series HBO success from 2011 to 2019. The first episode of House of the Dragon is broadcast on August 22, 2022. Season 2 is broadcast in France from June 17 to August 5, 2024.

House of the Dragon is set between 200 and 170 years before the events of Game of Throne. The series focuses on the period known as the “Dance of the Dragons”, a period of unrest in Westeros where the Kingdom is split into two camps which support the accession to the throne of two different heirs. At the time, Viserys Targaryen was first on the throne of Westeros. He has no male heir from his first wife but a daughter named Rhaenyra who could succeed him. However, he obtained sons from his second marriage, which disrupted the order of succession and created the seeds of dissension.

In France, the first season of House of the Dragon was first broadcast on OCS. But from this season 2, that changes. It is now on the Max streaming platform, launched in France on June 11, a few days before the release of the first episode, that you have to go. The first episode is broadcast on June 17, 2024. Thereafter, the broadcast will be one episode per week, with a finale probably scheduled for August 5, 2024. If, however, you are subscribed to the Canal+Ciné offer Series, Canal+ Friends & Family and Canal+ Intégrale, or the Prime Video Warner Pass, you have access to House of the Dragon at no extra cost.

Aside from its last two seasons, Game of Thrones has always offered ten-episode seasons since its launch in 2011. House of the Dragon follows the example of the original series and replicates this same rhythm. Season 1 of House of the Dragon therefore has 10 episodes, lasting around an hour, but season 2 only has eight, of a similar duration a priori.
