HBO’s Game of Thrones spin-off, House of the Dragon, has been to be a proven hit with the media giant even bringing in nine million viewers for the Season 1 finale on the night it premiered. Production for Season 2 will be underway early next year, with George R. R. Martin himself saying the series needs four seasons to tell the story right.
Even though the finale was leaked two days ahead of the premiere, fans were still clamoring for the episode and want more. With no Season 2 premiere date announced, though, they’re going to have to wait. But thankfully, the cast and crew of the series have broken down the Season 1 finale and what lies ahead for the show’s characters.
Warning: Spoilers ahead, so turn back now if you haven’t seen the finale yet.
With the finale came a huge, devasting blow to the self-crowned Queen Rhaenyra (Emma D’Arcy) and her family as her son Luke was accidentally killed by his cousin Aemond’s dragon that went berserk and took out Luke and his dragon in one colossal bite. She had also been dealing with the news of her father’s death and suffered a miscarriage as well, all in the same episode.
