The "Dance of the Dragons" will soon begin.
The next season of the "Game of Thrones" Targaryen spin-off "House of the Dragon" is set to premiere this weekend, bringing with it a civil war that promises to rip the Seven Kingdoms apart in the battle for the Iron Throne.
Picking up where Season 1 left off, the new season will chronicle the war between two warring factions of the Targaryen family led by King Aegon II and Queen Rhaenyra in the fight for control of Westeros.
As GoT fans know, the end result of this dragon versus dragon, kin versus kin war eventually leads to the end of Targaryen rule. But how we got there? That remains to be seen, via some spectacularly dark and explosive storytelling.
Here's what to know about "House of the Dragon" Season 2.

What happened in 'House of the Dragon' Season 1?
Like its "Game of Thrones" predecessor, "House of the Dragon" is adapted from a novel by George R.R. Martin titled "Fire & Blood."
Set 200 years before the events of the hit series "Game of Thrones," the series centers around the plight of the Targaryen family who hold the throne under King Viserys I Targaryen.
The prequel begins with exploring the ascent to the throne and rule of King Viserys, an ancestor of GoT's Daenerys Targaryen, and the conflict he creates by declaring his daughter Rhaenyra next in line to the Iron Throne, breaking the male-only tradition.
In the Season 1 finale, Aemond Targaryen (son of King Viserys and Alicent Hightower) killed Lucerys Velaryon (son of Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen), ushering in the "Dance of the Dragons," a civil war that promises to rip the kingdom in two. The all-out war will be fought by the Greens (led by Alicent and King Aegon II) and the Blacks (headed by Rhaenyra and Daemon) and will see other prominent families, like the Starks, Lannisters and Baratheons, getting in on the action.
