Olivia Cooke and Emma D'Arcy for 'House of the Dragon' — HBO

Get ready to head back to Westeros because HBO is giving fans of George R.R. Maritn‘s fantasy world a first look at House of the Dragon Season 2 with some emotional posters featuring Rhaenyra Targaryen (Emma D’Arcy) and Alicent Hightower (Olivia Cooke).

The posters meld into one banner that puts the feuding women side-by-side as fiery sparks swirl around them, illuminating their faces. The words “Blood for Blood” and “Fire to Fire” hint at impending destruction and battles to come between the Greens and Blacks. As also previously reported, the poster reveals the show’s summer premiere date.
