The impending Dance of the Dragons war of "House of the Dragon" season 2 may be a conflict between two opposing factions inside House Targaryen — Team Black (the contingent that supports Rhaenyra Targaryen as heir to the crown) versus Team Green (those that back her half-brother Aegon II Targaryen's claim to the Iron Throne) — but it's also a fiery feud between two women.
We're talking, of course, about Rhaenyra (played by Emma D'Arcy) and her former childhood friend Alicent Hightower (Olivia Cooke), who dramatically changed up their dynamic when she, you know, married Rhaenyra's dad. (Awkward!) The relationship between the two female leads gets infinitely more complicated as we get deeper into the "Game of Thrones" prequel series and that will no doubt continue when the new season premieres on HBO and Max on Sunday, June 19.
