The second season of the most anticipated HBO series kicks off where the first left off, with battle lines drawn, blood spilled and two former best friends fighting for the crown -
With the second series commissioned after the first proved to be a hit, D'Arcy says there was a different feel on set when they returned.
Fans of the world of Westeros will see more of it this season, says Matt Smith who plays Rhaenyra's husband - and uncle - Daemon Targaryen.
"The show is evolving and getting bigger and exploring different parts of Westeros, which I think is quite exciting as well. "Hopefully it ticks the boxes it's meant to." Said Sky News has spoken to the cast about what to expect.
While both sides of the Targaryen family have access to the ultimate weapon - dragons - wiser members are not in a hurry to use them, knowing the massive amounts of death and destruction that could be unleashed.
But it wouldn't be much of a series of House Of The Dragon without us seeing plenty of the creatures, and we know that five new ones are being introduced.
The Targaryen civil war that was promised edges ever closer in the opening episodes of the new season: the characters are meaner, the schemes are deadlier and House of the Dragon is more alive than its first season.
House of the Dragon's second season debuts on Max on June 16 and will stream on Showmax for Nigerian viewers.
