Very soon we will be venturing back into Westeros for House of the Dragon Season 2's premiere. With the new season comes more dragons, more platinum blonde wigs, and more eyebrow-raising family members marrying one another from the Targaryen family. While Game of Thrones gave us a plethora of Westeros houses to declare our loyalty to, the prequel series forces audiences to pick a side this season as the eponymous house splits itself down the middle of a brewing civil war. Those who support Aegon II Targaryen (Tom Glynn-Carney) call themselves the Greens, while those who support his older half-sister Rhaenyra Targaryen (Emma D'Arcy) call themselves the Blacks.
Though Rhaenyra has taken control of Dragonstone, Aegon II now sits on the Iron Throne. At his side he has his mother, Alicent (Olivia Cooke), his grandfather, Otto Hightower (Rhys Ifans), the commander of his Kingsguard, Criston Cole (Fabien Frankel), and his brother and sister. Helaena (Phia Saban) is both his younger sister and his wife and queen, which isn't that weird when you remember that the Targaryens encourage marriage between siblings. Aemond (Ewan Mitchell) is his younger brother but also one of the most powerful allies he can have, since he rides the world's largest dragon. However, we know Aemond isn't exactly fully dedicated to his brother and that dragon of his might not be so reliable.
We spoke with both Ewan Mitchell and Phia Saban about the new season of House of the Dragon and what Aemond and Helaena's roles are in the war. We discussed the theory that Aemond might be the father of Helaena's children. We also discussed the incident in the Season 1 finale between Aemond and Lucerys (Elliot Grihault) and Vhagar's attack. Mitchell teased Aemond's Season 2 arc and Saban discussed a desire for Helaena to gain more control over her dreams.
