When House of the Dragon returns later this month for Season 2, it will depict the events known in the lore of Game of Thrones as the Dance of the Dragons. The civil war between the two Targaryen factions is the reason why dragons were all but extinct during the events of the original series. But that doesn’t mean that some previously unrevealed dragons won’t be making their debut on the show this season.
Via The Wrap, House of the Dragon showrunner Ryan Condal reiterated that he once promised to introduce five new dragons in Season 2, and he kept his word.
“I said five and a half years ago, and I think I’m sticking to it,” said Condal. “So five new ones that you haven’t seen before.”
Condal didn’t say where and when the new dragons will appear in the new season. However, cast member Bethany Antonia revealed that her character, Baela Targaryen, will get to ride her dragon, Moondancer, in Season 2. Antonia also shared some info about her experience performing the dragonriding scenes.
“You get on, and it’s like a bucking bronco,” explained Antonia. “What made me laugh is that it always comes down to a guy with a wind machine. No matter how much budget you have, how much CGI, there’s always going to be a guy with a wind machine and you’re going to be upside down. It was just the most fun.”
House of the Dragon Season 2 will premiere on HBO and Max on June 16.
