How to use a VPN to watch House of the Dragon from anywhere
Season 2 of the Game of Thrones prequel left us with an exiled and injured King, a fleet of low-born Dragon riders and a continent-wide mobilisation of armies on both sides of the sibling squabble. Now, as noble Houses across Westeros march in favour of numerous claimants to the Iron Throne, the only thing promised is death and destruction on a franchise-first scale.
While the full outcome of the Dance of Dragons is out there (the show is based on George R. R. Martin’s Fire & Blood novel), much of what to expect for unsullied viewers is being kept under wraps for now. Showrunner Ryan Condal teased the opening episode’s Battle of the Gullet as "arguably the craziest episode of television ever made." And boy did it deliver, with the pivotal battle getting things off to a ferocious start with action and carnage on a scale never before seen in the franchise during a huge naval clash that made the Battle of the Blackwater look like a playground skirmish, with not everyone making it out alive.
The usual cast return, including Emma D'Arcy (Rhaenyra), Matt Smith (Daemon), Olivia Cooke (Alicent), Harry Collett (Jacaerys), Steve Toussaint (Corlys), Bethany Antonia (Baela), Phoebe Campbell (Rhaena), and Sonoya Mizuno (Mysaria), Tom Glynn-Carney (Aegon), Ewan Mitchell (Aemond), Phia Saban (Helaena), Fabien Frankel (Criston Cole), Rhys Ifans (Otto Hightower), and Matthew Needham (Larys Strong) and Freddie Fox (Gwayne Hightower). Also look out for Happy Valley's James Norton, who joins the cast as Ormund Hightower, the Lord of Oldtown and cousin to Queen Alicent. This being A Song of Ice and Fire, however, who knows how long anyone will stick around.
After the glorious A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, it’s great to be visiting Westeros for a second time this year, and after the carnage of the season opener, expect some receipts to be delivered before the credits roll on the next episode.
