House of the Dragon season 2 is less than a month away from hitting Max, and that’s about all we can talk about right now.
The show promised to be back with an epic fight after the jaw-dropping season 1 ending, but all the fuss around the Game of Thrones prequel’s comeback is spurred not only by George R.R. Martin’s book series lovers (who already know how drastically things will turn in the next installment), but especially by the show’s proper actors.
Though House of the Dragon’s cast is surely prohibited to spill the beans on everything that’s about to happen in there, one of the show’s actresses has just dropped a major spoiler, and, unsurprisingly, it has a lot to do with Game of Thrones.

Ready for Game of Thrones lite?
A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is a new series coming to HBO next year, and author George R.R. Martin, the EP of the series and creator of the novels that spawned this world, promises a shift in tone.
The new spinoff “will be a lot shorter than Game of Thrones or House of the Dragon, with a much different tone,” Martin posted Wednesday on his blog. “But it’s still Westeros, so no one is truly safe.”
The series follows the adventures of Ser Duncan the Tall (played by Peter Claffey) and his young squire, Egg (played by Dexter Sol Ansell).
The official logline for A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is “set in an age when the Targaryen line still holds the Iron Throne, and the memory of the last dragon has not yet passed from living memory” and “great destinies, powerful foes,...

Network executives once came to the upfronts on a mission to get advertisers excited about a handful of new series coming in the fall. This year, TV’s big players took a T-shirt cannon approach.
Every one of the major presentations during the May 13-15 sprint in midtown Manhattan — NBCUniversal, Fox, Disney, Amazon, Warner Bros. Discovery and Netflix — emphasized the breadth of the company’s content offerings. Call it the everything-everywhere-all-at-once strategy for the streaming age.
As always, common themes emerged across the week. “Connections” was the buzziest of buzzwords used by executives pitching their hearts out from the stage. Without question, the song of Upfronts ’24, the one heard at most if not all events, was Beyoncé’s “Texas Hold ’Em.”
After sorting through the firehose of shows and spin, here are a few trends that stood out this year.
1) Star-Power Surge
Last year, the writers strike kept boldface names from appearing at the upfronts.

Famous for his role as the Eleventh Doctor on Doctor Who and his appearance in The Crown, Matt Smith took on the role of Prince Daemon Targaryen in HBO’s massively popular prequel House of the Dragon.

When HBO delivered House of the Dragon, audiences were certainly impressed. The series perfectly showcases the power dynamics that the audience loved in the original series in a completely new fashion, following a story that feels almost brand new. The excellence of the 2022 series can be perfectly encapsulated in one scene.

While a lot was already going on and a lot of iconic moments happened in the duration of this, one scene stands out like no other. A moment that was supposed to be the most important for Rhaenyra Targaryen, ended up being the biggest show of power for Viserys Targaryen.

This is not the first time that fans have expected disappointment from George R.R. Martin’s The Winds of Winter as it has been delayed several times in the past. The much-anticipated novel is part of A Song of Ice and Fire, and it will be the sixth addition to the series, it is believed to be over 1200 pages.

However, the book is taking so long that some fans of the author and his books have given up hope, because the novel is taking longer than some of the fans could remember. To give a clear idea, the fifth novel of the series was published, when HBO’s Game of Thrones was aired. Since then, fans have been eagerly waiting for the faithful day, when they would hear the cheerful news of the author completing the next novel.

Before House of the Dragon season 2 began filming, showrunner Ryan Condal assembled the actors of the Game of Thrones prequel to view a simple slideshow. The subject of this presentation? Dragons, naturally. The dragon riders needed to get acquainted with their bonded beasts, as they’ll never actually meet them in the scaly flesh.
“These poor actors climb up on a saddle but they never interact with the creature they’re supposed to have this close bond with,” Condal says. “If you believe Westerosi historical propaganda, Aegon [II] and Sunfyre famously had the closest bond between dragon and human in history. It’s important for Tom Glynn-Carney as an actor to know what Sunfyre looks like.”
While the lesson was successful in introducing the new flying monsters to the cast,...

If there's one rule that any fan who's ever been exposed to Game of Thrones knows, it's that weddings in this universe never go right. At this point, any viewer familiar with at least some of the lore knows how many horrible things have happened at weddings, and knows to tense up the second a wedding is even mentioned.
However, House of the Dragon fans who have not yet had enough of the constant cruelty and bloodshed of the universe, as they are only now entering the season of real war, are willing to face the consequences and try another wedding.
The union of Rhaenyra's son, Jacaerys Velaryon, and Daemon's daughter, Baela Targaryen, may be the first somewhat peaceful celebration in a long time.

There is no dearth of mobile and video games based in the world of Westeros. From Game of Thrones: Conquest to Reigns: Game of Thrones, more than eleven games have been made by various studios for fans of the story and show. They involve strategy games where players need to build houses and sustain themselves against various enemies.
On the other hand, the characters of Game of Thrones are so interesting that other games include people from Westeros in their games. The latest game by Warner Bros called Multiversus is one such game that chose to include a character from Game of Thrones.

One of the standout scenes in the latest trailer of House of the Dragon season 2 is where Alicent stops Aemond from going too far. Yes, the Greens want to win the war, but as his mother says, “Not like this.”
This sudden change in Alicent’s stance leaves something to be desired in fans as they piece together supposed situations in the second season of the show. New images from the previews and set prove that Alicent is not completely on board with Aemond’s insidious plans for the upcoming war for the throne.

Images of Aemond and Alicent together show Aegon’s catspaw dagger on Aemond’s belt. With that sinister smirk on his face, it definitely looks like Aemond is getting the upper hand in every situation. Ewan Mitchell has already claimed that his character is taking the war to another level.

As seen in House of the Dragon, Rhaenyra Targaryen and Alicent Hightower have been best friends since they were very young. They shared everything with each other and became close confidants. However, things changed when Alicent married Rhaenyra’s father and King Viserys. This changed the dynamic between the two young girls and soon, a rift formed between them.
The ultimate point of contention came when the matter of ascending the Iron Throne was discussed. Alicent wanted her kids to continue their father’s legacy. Whereas Rhaenyra wanted her birthright since she was the first heir in line. Nobody knew how this battle for power and the Iron Throne will eventually turn into a Civil War that will forever be remembered in Targaryen history.

House of the Dragon was without a doubt the finest show to premiere in 2022, and Paddy Considine was its shining star. Even in George R. R. Martin‘s original writing, Fire & Blood, Viserys Targaryen lacked depth until Considine brought it to life on screen. And even after his departure from the show, Paddy Considine is lighting up fans’ faces with his Iron Throne related interaction with his House of the Dragon co-stars while.

House of the Dragon’s season 2 is less than a month away from finally arriving at Max, and all the new details coming in leave no doubt that it will probably be the fiercest war that Westeros has ever seen.
With House of Targaryen’s members split into two rival teams, the fight for the Iron Throne within the same family is set to put its leaders aside while now bringing to the light those who acted in the shadows all that time.
Judging by the most recent revelations, House of the Dragon’s upcoming season is going to give more of an evil arc for the character that escalated the whole confrontation between the Blacks and the Greens back in season 1.
The previous installment’s ending shows Rhaenyra’s son Lucerys finding his tragic death in a dragon chase started by Alicent’s son Aemond. The season’s last...

Shogun is the best thing that ever happened to Hulu.
It currently sits in the number one spot as the most-watched program in FX's history, backed by massive critical acclaim.
It doesn't begin or end there, either. The book, published in 1975, was also a massive hit, as was the succeeding 1980s TV mini-series.
Since the release of the most recent iteration, television critics and reviewers have brushed off the idea of a second season, much less a third.
The series and the book both end in the same place, after all. Besides a loosely related 1993 novel, Gai-Jin, James Clavell never wrote a sequel.
Only a week ago, most media outlets were waxing poetic about the show's profound wonders and sulking over the sudden loss of Shogun after a ten-episode run.
It's hard to blame them. What else is there to cover?

House of the Dragon Producers Reveal Plans for Season 3 - Main Image
The first season of House of the Dragon was released to great success. Thus, it’s a no-brainer that it was renewed for another season, though with a reduced episode count. Now, the show's producers share their plans for House of the Dragon Season 3 in case HBO renews the show.
Compared to the 10-episode first season, House of the Dragon Season 2 will only have eight episodes.
Of course, many expected it to be as long as the first one, but the producers revealed they had no control over the reduced episode count.
In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, the series’ executive producer, Sara Hess, claimed this move wasn’t a creative call. Though she couldn’t say anything about it, she stressed it “wasn’t really our choice.”
But despite this change, plans for the hit HBO series are already sealed.

With House of the Dragon’s season 2 making its way to the screens pretty soon, Game of Thrones’ universe is seemingly far from being discovered in full. The original show’s prequel takes everyone back to the House of Targaryen’s abundant story of betrayal and fight for the ultimate power with the help of their fantastic fire-breathing creatures.
Though House of the Dragon isn’t leaving the top of modern TV shows anytime soon anyway, the prequel seems to have another major upside that puts it at even a higher level than Game of Thrones itself.
The original show based on George R.R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire book series was all great, garnering everyone’s accolades and numerous prestigious awards, but it still failed to show the whole story’s main point.

I’m going to tell you something that will instantly rattle a millennial body to its core: “Glee,” the Fox musical dramedy that became a phenomenon before becoming a dark cultural tale, premiered 15 years ago, on May 19, 2009.
To make you feel slightly better about the passage of time, that date is a bit of a cheat: Because Fox suspected it had an honest-to-goodness hit on its hands, the network premiered the first episode after the “American Idol” Season 8 finale in May, before beginning the full season a few months later in September.
Still, May 19 was the day the world first was re-reminded of the wonder of “Don’t Stop Believin,’” witnessed the instantly iconic combo of cringe and charisma that was Rachel Berry/Lea Michele, and considered the shocking declaration that someone could be both an athlete and a singer.

When HBO’s House of the Dragon premiered, one of the most controversial casting decisions was the choice of Matt Smith as Daemon Targaryen. Alongside fans of George R.R. Martin’s Fire & Blood, even critics were skeptical that the Doctor Who star could bring the necessary depth and complexity to the role of the rogue prince.

However, despite the massive backlash that started after Matt Smith’s casting, showrunner Ryan Condal and casting director Kate Rhodes James took a gamble on Smith’s abilities. Eventually, it paid off wonderfully, when The Crown veteran proved the critics wrong in his portrayal of the Daemon.

The most recent House of the Dragon Season 2 teaser has sparked a lot of comments and arguments. Following the release of the most recent eye-opening teaser, fans have been itching to find out the answers to many pressing issues. Fans were drawn to two clips in particular because they appeared to be in the same location throughout the many scenes and snippets in the House of the Dragon Season 2 teaser. We see Ser Criston Cole galloping across a clear field on his horse, being chased by Baela Targaryen.
Why is Baela Targaryen chasing Criston Cole?
Many eagle-eyed viewers might’ve caught that both the snippets with Cole and Baela belong to the same scene. And by the looks of it, Cole is fleeing from her. But why is she even on the battlefield?
One theory suggests that in the Battle of Rook’s Rest, it is Baela who arrived first.

[This story contains major spoilers from the May 17 episode of Doctor Who, “Boom.”]
During Russell T Davies’ first time in charge of BBC behemoth Doctor Who, one of its regular writers often wrote some of its more memorable and popular stories.
Scottish writer, Steven Moffat, had made a sizable name for himself in the U.K. with television shows such as Press Gang and Coupling, and would bring new terrors to young Whovians in the form of Gask Mask Zombies and the Weeping Angels. When Davies came to leave the show, Moffat was the natural choice to replace him.
He cast Matt Smith (The Crown, House of the Dragon) as the youngest ever actor to play the role and made huge strides in the U.S. cementing Doctor Who’s popularity. Moffat would leave the role of showrunner after seven years (and after casting Peter Capaldi to play Smith’s successor).

What Do We Know About Dune Prophecy? More than you may think. With the second part of Denis Villeneuve’s adaptation of Frank Herbert’s classic science fiction novel a critical and box office success, it is going to be several years before we see the next feature film in the series, Dune Messiah. Luckily, production on the small-screen prequel /spin-off was concurrent with Dune: Part Two which means before the end of the year we are going to return to the fictional realms of Arrakis, Geidi Prime, and more via Max.
While not much in the way of footage has made its way online, there have been quite a few reveals about Dune Prophecy, so let’s jump in and discuss.
Denis Villeneuve is not directing any episodes
The original plan was for Villeneuve to helm the series in addition to his big screen directorial duties. The series, originally announced as Dune: The Sisterhood,...
