The call to battle has sounded, and the House of the Dragon fandom is answering. Season 2 is finally here, and while the first season covered whole decades, the action is now slowing down as it moves into the struggle for succession that Season 1 built toward. Rhaenyra and Aegon both believe they’re the rightful ruler of the Seven Kingdoms, but there’s only room on the Iron Throne for one.

Whether you’re on Team Green or Team Black, here’s everything you need to know about how to tune in and watch the Dance of Dragons unfold.
