House of the Dragon: Lucerys was killed by Aemond’s dragon House of the Dragon: Rhaenyra discovered her son was killed in the finale As the HBO and HBO Max chief content officer, Casey revealed season two would likely return ‘sometime in (20)24″. He explained: ‘We’re just starting to put the plan together, and just like last time, there are so many unknowns. ‘It’s not to be coy or secretive, but you don’t want to say it’s going to be ready on this date, and then you have to move it.’ Casey told Vulture: ‘Don’t expect it in 2023.’ DON’T MISS… Jeremy Clarkson announces exciting update on Clarkson’s Farm [INSIGHT] Here’s a look at Aemond Targaryen’s fate [INSIGHT] We look at the big moments in the House of the Dragon finale [INSIGHT] The finale met its shocking end after Rhaenyra finally learned her father, King Viserys had died from ill health. However, instead of being crowned Queen, the way her father intended, she was informed her half-brother and Viserys’ first-born son Aegon Targaryen (Tom Glynn-Carney) succeeded the throne. Alongside the shock of her father’s death and news of her succession, the stress forced Rhaenyra into early labour, which led to a stillbirth. Her shock then turned into bitter anger after her middle son Lucerys Velaryon (Elliot Grihault) was killed by Aemond Targaryen’s (Ewan Mitchell) dragon Vhagar. Trending
