Elliot Grihault and Ewan Mitchell in House of the Dragon

Editor's Note: The following article contains major spoilers for the Fire & Blood book and events that might occur in House of the Dragon Season 2.

House of the Dragon The reign of House Targaryen begins with this prequel to the popular HBO series Game of Thrones. Based on George R.R. Martin's Fire & Blood, House of the Dragon is set nearly 200 years before Game of Thrones, telling the story of the Targaryen civil war with King Viserys. Showrunner Ryan Condal also teased Blood and Cheese to EW, saying "A Song of Ice and Fire and Game of Thrones have really conditioned people to expect the unexpected and expect the horrible. But, yeah, that one's pretty horrific. We'll see what people make of what's to come." Condal also described Blood and Cheese as a story where "George kind of outdid himself in his own George-ness," which doesn't bode well.

What Do Blood and Cheese Do? Close Blood and Cheese don't balk at the idea of killing a member of the royal family. In fact, they take it upon themselves to make it as dark as possible, resulting in a story that will be hard to watch in Season 2. With Cheese's past employment, he knows the castle's tunnels, which allow them to get in undetected. Every evening, Helaena takes her three children, Jaehaerys, Jaehaera, and Maelor, to visit their grandmother Alicent.

But the more immediate result is to make the Greens more bitter towards the Blacks. The war became personal for Rhaenyra with Luke's death, and the same goes for Aegon and his family after Jaehaerys' murder. The trailer has already shown Aegon's new determination in the war, which is likely spurred by these events. Like Rhaenyra, Aegon responds to the destruction of his family with more violence, escalating the war.
