House of the Dragon season 2 trailer has SO many freaking dragons and houses

I’m very pumped to hang out with the worst family ever

After making fans wage war by picking which of two trailers to watch on YouTube, HBO is back with a new trailer for House of the Dragon season 2 that promises things will go quite badly no matter who your fave is. That’s the Westeros Promise, baby!

While the first season skipped through time, season 2 looks like it’s settling in for the long haul. The new episodes seem to depict the immediate fallout from last season, when Aegon II (Tom Glynn-Carney) was installed as king in a coup over Rhaenyra Targaryen (Emma D’Arcy), kicking off the Targaryen Civil War, aka the Dance of the Dragons.

The new trailer shows off both sides of the Worst Family Ever amassing supporters and dragons, promising tons of sexy intrigue and backstabbing in addition to big, brutal battles atop horse and dragon. Frankly, it looks pretty spectacular, and even if the we know where this story ends, getting there seems like it’s gonna be a hell of a ride.

House of the Dragon season 2 premieres on HBO and Max on June 16.
