House of the Dragon is the story of House Targaryen and the civil war that happened 200 years before Robert Baratheon took over the Iron Throne. House of the Dragon season 2 is expected to bring a lot more action and fans might see new winged beasts, changed alliances, and major sibling rivalries.
The upcoming season will take a deeper dive into the Targaryen family feud. Season one ended with Vhagar killing Lucereys and season two is likely to pick up from there.

What to expect in House of the Dragon season 2?
In season 2, Lucerys’s death is going to fuel the rest of the plot. Rhaenyra is going to seek revenge for her son’s untimely demise and because of Aemond’s past actions, she will not believe that her son’s death was an accident and that Aemomd could not control the dragon even though he wanted to. A civil war between Aegon and Rhaenyra is coming.
Might beasts like Vermithor or Sheepstealer can be introduced in season two and whoever rides Sheepstealer is going to be the one to cheat. It’ll be also intriguing to see what happens to Vhagar, Vermithor, and Daemon in season two.
There can also be certain raunchy scenes between Daemon and Rhaenyra in season 2 of the show and their relationship might be portrayed similarly to Cersei and Jamie in Game of Thrones.
