It's time to pick a side in House of the Dragon and Max has just released duelling "Green" and "Black" trailers for the Game of Thrones prequel.
This is all meant to tie into the Targaryen civil war known as the "Dance of the Dragons," a conflict the show's first season set the stage for. The Green trailer revolves around the Green Council and Queen Alicent Hightower's quest to get King Aegon II Targaryen on the Iron Throne.
In the Black trailer, we follow the Black Council, the supporters of Queen Rhaenyra Targaryen who were forced to watch her half-brother, Aegon, crowned king of Westeros behind her back, even though she was the chosen successor of their father, the fallen King Viserys.
The cast of House of the Dragon season 2 includes Matt Smith (Daemon Targaryen), Olivia Cooke (Alicent Hightower), Emma D'Arcy (Rhaenyra Targaryen), Eve Best (Rhaenys Targaryen), Steve Toussaint (Corlys Velaryon), Fabien Frankel (Criston Cole), Ewan Mitchell (Aemond Targaryen), Tom Glynn-Carney (Aegon Targaryen), Sonoya Mizuno (Mysaria), and Rhys Ifans (Otto Hightower).
Also returning this season are actors Harry Collett (Jacaerys Velaryon), Bethany Antonia (Baela Targaryen), Phoebe Campbell (Rhaena Targaryen), Phia Saban (Queen Helaena Targaryen), Jefferson Hall (Lord Jason Lannister/Ser Tyland Lannister), and Matthew Needham (Larys Strong)

Martin, and is co-creator and executive producer along with Ryan Condal, who serves as showrunner.
