Fans are already anticipating the second season, which is likely to air in 2024. The season one finale of “House of the Dragon” ends with the tragic death of one of the Targaryens. In the finale, Rhaenyra Targaryen (Emma D’Arcy), her uncle-husband Daemon (Matt Smith), and her relatives plan their response to the Hightowers’ betrayal after they took the Iron Throne away from the princess.

Towards the end of the episode, Rhaenyra sends out her family to collect her allies across Westeros in case civil war erupts.  Rhaenyra’s son Lucerys (Elliot Grihault) travels to Storm’s End, where he finds his uncle Aemond Targaryen (Ewan Mitchell) waiting for him, also delivering a message to the potential ally Lord Borros Baratheon (Roger Evans). Aemond decides to take his opportunity to get revenge for Lucerys stabbing his eye out in episode seven, chasing his younger nephew with his large dragon Vhagar.

However, during the chase, Aemond loses control of his dragon who ultimately kills both Lucerys and his small dragon Arryx.

Less than a week after his passing, Westeros is on the verge of a civil war, multiple people have been killed, including his grandson, and his wife and son have stolen the throne from his rightful heir. If he was watching from the afterlife, he would not be too pleased.
