House of the Dragon season 2is fast approaching its finale, and a new trailer for the final episode teases one epic send-off for the show’s second season.
“The dragons dance, and men are like dust under their feet,” Criston Cole warns ominously. “We march now toward our annihilation.” We see the Green army on the move, accompanied byDaeron Targaryenand his dragon Tessarion, while Rhaenyra, wearing her gold crown, rallies herdragonseeds.
In King’s Landing, Aemond tries to get Helaena to fly to war on her dragon Dreamfyre, and we see him andVhagarapparently burning a village. The trailer also includes ships taking to the ocean and, of course, plenty of dragons.
House of the Dragonhas already been renewed for season 3, so we can expect the season 2 finale to set up what’s still to come.
“Hopefully you start with a bang, and then you build to another bang through the series, but you’re really trying to arc out the characters, so that each season is a different experience for all of them,“showrunner Ryan Condal told us of an at the time hypothetical season 3. “And then you leave them off all in a place where you can pick up with them next year, and then take them in a new direction, because you don’t want to end up in that place where you’re doing the same thing again and again.”
You can watch the House of the Dragon season 2 finale on HBO in the US and Sky and NOW in the UK. For even more on the show, check out our deep dives below:
