Season Two of HBO’s Game of Thrones prequel ended with the two opposing Targaryen forces on the cusp of an epic battle for the Iron Throne: Rhaenyra Targaryen (Emma D’Arcy) and Daemon Targaryen (Matt Smith) on one side, the ruthless Aemond Targaryen (Tom Glynn-Carney), Rhaenyra’s half brother, on the other. This season, we can expect familiar names like the Starks, Tullys, and Lannisters to play a role in that succession battle, and with Rhaenyra in command of seven dragon riders, a whole lot of firepower. —Paulina Prosnitz
