Welcome back everyone it's Charlie!
There was a new House of the Dragon season 2 teaser, HBO and the Showrunner
just released. So we'll break it all down.
There's a whole bunch to talk about.
Whole bunch of Game of Thrones Easter eggs.
If you're brand new to the channel, be sure to subscribe to get all the videos.
I will be doing videos for House of the Dragon Season two,
just like Season one, just like the main show.
And there are still a bunch of other sequels,
prequels, spinoffs that HBO is working on separately,
like the Jon Snow series with Kit Harington.
Eventually, we might even get to the point
where we have multiple Game of Thrones shows on in the same year.
Some of them probably plan on using for alternate years,
so the HBO doesn't have to skip a year
with no episodes like they're doing this year.
Of course, I will do videos for everything that they wind up releasing.
We'll be talking about Game of Thrones when I'm like 90 years old.
It'll be great.
The new House of the Dragon Season two teaser comes straight
from Ryan Condal, the showrunner, where he talks about the five new Dragons
that they're going to introduce in season two shortly. And
in season 2, you're going to see
five new Dragons.
Notice that he only says five new Dragons.
I'll explain which ones he's talking about.
But before season one, he revealed that there would be 17
total before the end of the series like they already have planned out.
Which of the Dragons are going to feature?
Because there are way more than 17 dragons that are around
during the dance of the Dragons.
So some of them won't make it to screen.
And if you do a head count, that means that some of the dragons
we won't see until season three and beyond.
The five new ones he's probably talking about are Darren
Targaryen's Dragon two Syrian.
He's the fourth child of Alicent Hightower in Viserys.
It wasn't featured on screen as an actor during season one,
but they did reference him in the during the events of season one.
He was around in the later episodes after the children had grown up,
but he was serving as a page down in Old Town
while everything was going on around King's Landing in Dragonstone.
The place where they reference Daron Targaryen was later in the episodes
after he'd been born in the opening credits.
For people who pause to overanalyze the opening sequence,
which I would recommend doing, if you're really interested about this,
I actually talk about the changes that they make episode
to episode in All My House The Dragon Season one episode video.
So you can go back and watch
the different episode videos to learn how the intro changed
and what they added to it, how they changed it for every episode,
just to denote the changes in the bloodline
episode to episode, like Who died and who was born.
It's meant to be a 3D family tree using the ancient Valyrian freehold
structure in a bloodline that starts with the ancient valyrian freehold up
at the top in the doom of Valyria with the birth of Aegon the Conqueror.
And it shows you where the blood of ancient Valeria flowed.
Like, who's related to who?
Who has valerian blood and who's part of which family line?
Because there are actually three known
family lines that have valyrian blood in them.
There's the targaryens
that we know about, the Valeria Jon's
that they went
into pretty deeply during season one, and the third one is how Celtic are, who
we saw briefly at the end of the season at Rainier as Black Council meeting.
This is Bartomeu's Celtic, Ga.
He didn't control dragons before the dance of the Dragons,
but anybody with any valyrian blood in their veins can be a dragon rider
or dragons seat.
And that's what Rhaenyra and Daemon are looking for.
All the allies they can find,
they can ride the extra dragons that they have access to on dragonstone.
The next one is probably silver weighing
who's the former dragon of Alison Targaryen.
She was actually a Jaehaerys' queen.
She died a long time ago and silverwing
has been a riderless ever since she died.
There's the sheepstealer who's one of the wild dragons ridden by Nettles.
She's a Targaryen bastard.
There's two other wild dragons that never officially get writers
because they're too wild.
But people do try many times and fail to become the writers.
The cannibal whose name such because he eats so many other dragons
and goes after so many other dragon eggs.
He also tries to eat pretty much anything that gets within
range of his mouth and gray ghost, who also never had any known writers.
But all three wild dragons are involved in the dragon bowels issues.
The Sheepstealer is the only one that officially gets a Dragon rider.
So just because some of them don't get writers
doesn't mean that they're inactive during the dance of the Dragons.
They also said that Baela and Rhaena, the twins, would have a bigger storyline
in season two with more scenes, and currently Baela has a dragon
named Moondancer.
She might be one of the five new ones to debut.
And also if you do a head count of all the dragons that were featured
in some way during season one, there's actually 12.
So if Ryan Condal said that
only Nine Dragons were going to be featured in season one,
he was probably only counting the Dragons that got a lot of screen time.
So like he probably didn't count vermouth
or which we saw at the very end of the season.
So, for example, vemithor could be one of those five Baela's younger
sister, Rhaena, eventually gets a dragon named morning much later in the story,
as do all of Helaena Targaryen's children Daemon and Rhaenyra as new
surviving children
that they have together, like Aegon, the third and Vasari's the second.
But all the babies with Targaryen blood.
The young children don't actually have their dragons
till either much later in the story or without getting into spoilers,
they're not threats during the dance of the Dragons and don't
really figure into the part of the story that they're doing on the series.
So like I said, even though Ryan Condal and George R.R.
Martin said that there'd be 17 total Dragons before the end of the House of
the Dragon series they're covering right now,
they're actually way more dragons present at this time than just 17.
They're just only talking about the 17 of them
that are very active during the dance.
Some of them are still inside eggs
and haven't been hatched yet because they are given
to new Targaryen babies when they're born and they just haven't hatched yet.
They confirm the season two release date would be summer next year.
They're just starting to film this month.
So that means that June or July next year probably.
My hope is that HBO already soft
renewed the series for the rest of the Dance of the Dragons,
however many seasons they need to complete this part of the story
so they won't have any huge year long breaks in future years.
That feels like an oversight on HBO's part.
Like of course it was going to be successful.
Why didn't you renew for multiple seasons at the beginning?
George R.R.
Martin has also said the plan for the rest of the series is to spend
about four seasons on the dance, but they'll only do about four seasons.
And then they treat House the Dragon like an anthology show and just jump
to a different time period and treat it like House of the Dragon Season 5.
And that's how they cover Aegon's conquest or the Blackfyre rebellions later
in the timeline or Dunk and Egg.
Just things that are around in different parts of the timeline.
For those of you that really want them to do Robert's rebellion, that could be
a future season of House of the Dragon with a different cast.
There are other showrunners writers working on the other non targaryen
focused spinoffs, sequels and prequels.
For example, Kit
Harrington was the person that came to HBO wanting to make the Jon Snow sequel.
They've got different people working on that same thing for the other spinoffs.
I've already done a much bigger separate video about which spinoffs
they're still working on, which they've canceled.
There's still around seven of them that they're currently working on,
so I'll link that below in the description.
The other big thing in Season 2 is also introducing the Dragons Seeds.
Who are all the people with
any kind of Targaryen blood in their veins on both sides that the Blacks
and the Greens are looking for to activate as many dragons as possible,
since every dragon is kind of like a nuclear weapon.
Probably the biggest, most famous one in the books is Nettles.
She's actually a velaryon bastard who grew up in Spice Town,
so it's implied that she's one of the bastards.
One of Corlys Velaryon's, family members, if not him himself.
There's Hugh Hammer and Ulf White, who are both Targaryen bastards
that grew up on Dragonstone but are just regular members in their army
when they dance, the Dragons picks up, but because they need all the dragons,
these are like anybody
that has any kind of Targaryen blood in your veins, any valyrian blood.
Come talk to us. We need Dragonriders.
So whereas before
they would have just been relegated
to a life as relatively low ranking members in the military,
they suddenly get giant promotions because they become dragonriders.
There's Addam Velaryon, who's supposed to be the bastard son of Corlys Velaryon.
But what they might do is they might change things
and just make this a version of Addam Velaryon
using a different name, pretending to be calling his bastard,
and just being a back door for Corlys, being able to pass driftmark
in all of his holdings to Laenor what he wanted to do originally
because Addam Valerian in the books is the person who winds up
riding seasmoke and what bigger twist would there be than Laenor just coming back
pretending to be a bastard, having his head shaved
so that nobody completely recognizes who he is
and just takes back up on his old dragon like, Oh, hey, sorry for the break.
Sorry I was gone for a little while, but I'm back now.
There's terraxes.
Baby Joffrey's tiny dragon, very small, obviously.
Joffrey not going to do a whole lot of fighting because he's so little.
This is a chart that depicts the lineage of all the Dragons,
Like where all the dragons came from, who laid the dragon eggs.
We saw vermithor or briefly at the end of season one,
but Daemon just rattled off a whole bunch of names.
We'll see all those dragons.
Some of them are much bigger, much older, but they all roost on Dragonstone,
which is why Daemon and Rhaenyra control them
because of the death of Lucerys at the end of season one.
That's sort of the official beginning of the Dance of the Dragons.
Like, Oh, it's on now.
So when Season
2 picks up, it's sort of like a nuclear arms race
with people trying to get as many dragons as possible.
For the blacks and the Greens.
Currently, the blacks control an overwhelming majority of the dragons,
though they just need to find a bunch of dragon riders for those dragons.
And speaking of the Greens, there was also a cool preview of a brand new Season two
character who will be part of the Greens faction Alys Rivers that just leaked out.
I might do a separate video for that at some point soon.
She's referred to as the Witch of Heron Hall.
She gets up to all kinds of crazy stuff.
She's the bastard daughter of Lyonel Strong who stays at Harrenhal after
Larys Strong.
Her half brother killed him and her other half brother Harwin strong.
She winds up becoming the lover of Aemond Targaryen without getting into spoiler.
She gets involved in some
really big stuff in here and Hall just in general is a really important location
in season 2.
Daemon specifically spent time talking about it during their war council meeting.
It's mostly because of where it sits geographically.
It's this in the central location
that's critical to controlling the rest of Westeros.
So both sides, the Blacks and the Greens, want to control.
Harrenhal
