Set nearly 200 years before Game of Thrones, this season chronicles the events leading up to the Targaryen civil war, known as the Dance of the Dragons. King Viserys I Targaryen names his daughter, Princess Rhaenyra, as heir to the Iron Throne, breaking tradition and igniting tensions within the realm. The court becomes divided as Queen Alicent Hightower, Viserys’s second wife, promotes her son Aegon’s claim to the throne. Political intrigue, shifting alliances, and personal betrayals set the stage for a looming conflict that threatens to tear the Targaryen dynasty apart.

Episodes

Viserys hosts a tournament to celebrate the birth of his second child. Rhaenyra welcomes her uncle Daemon back to the Red Keep.
