HBO had a press event for House of the Dragon, inviting Ryan Condal, co-creator, showrunner and executive producer, to share about season two, along with a dozen cast members, including Emma D’Arcy, who plays Queen Rhaenyra Targaryen; Matt Smith, who portrays Prince Daemon Targaryen; and Olivia Cooke, who plays Queen Alicent Hightower.
Condal said season one’s finale gave the producers and cast a perfect jumping-off point for the new season, which arrives on HBO and Max June 16. It is set days after the first season ended.
