With a month left until the release of House of the Dragon season 2<\/a>, we finally have an official trailer for the upcoming series \u2013 and boy, is it all out war between the Hightowers and Targaryens.<\/p>\n

Or shall we say, the Greens vs the Blacks.<\/p>\n

We already knew that the upcoming season would be filled with deadly tension after the events of the season 1 finale, but the official trailer \u2013 which was released today (Tuesday 14th May) \u2013 shows a glimpse of some of the sneaky tactics each rival family may use in their resulting battles for the Iron Throne.<\/p>\n

After the surprise death of Prince Lucerys Velaryon in the season 1 finale<\/a>, the trailer shows us a sneak peek into how the Hightowers are coping and how they plan to move forward.<\/p>\n

But where Olivia Cooke\u2019s Dowager Queen Alicent Hightower and Rhys Ifans\u2019s Ser Otto Hightower<\/a> want to proceed with caution, Aegon II Targaryen<\/a> (Tom Glynn-Carney) is having none of it.<\/p>\n

The young man turns round to his family and shouts: \u201cF**k dignity, I want revenge.\u201d<\/p>\n

As news of the feuding families spreads, Daemon (Matt Smith) is full of his usual smug wit and simply remarks: \u201cI did not think they would be so eager to die.\u201d But as battle lines are drawn, Lord Corlys Velaryon<\/a> (Steve Toussaint) firmly stands on the side of Queen Rhaenyra (Emma D\u2019Arcy), lands are invaded and Daemon speaks of a \u201cleader strong enough to unite\u201d.<\/p>\n

But who exactly is Daemon referring to and who does he have in mind as the perfect leader? Clearly impacted by previous trust issues and Daemon\u2019s own past struggles with power, Rhaenyra has an all important question for him.<\/p>\n

\u201cDo you accept me as your Queen and ruler?\u201d she asks, but in true tense trailer fashion, we don\u2019t get an answer as we see Daemon simply stare blankly forward.<\/p>\n
