(askanews) – The second season of House of the dragon arrives from June 17th on Sky and streaming only on NOW, at the same time as the American broadcast. Taken from the novel Fire and Blood by George RR Martin, the HBO and Sky Exclusive series is set 200 years before the events mentioned in The Game of Thronesee tells the story of House Targaryen. Between wars, power games and death, for the protagonists it is a fantasy series that tells a lot about reality.
«Certainly the series looks at how the propaganda machine operates – says Emma D’arcy, Rhaenyra Targaryen – It is a show that reflects on propaganda and how to use, particularly in this season, often tragic events to one’s political advantage».
«Power – he adds – has much more weight than truth in the show. And in this sense it perhaps reflects our reality.”
“In war only… war wins”
Ewan Mitchell is Aemond Targaryen, the second son of King Viserys and his young wife Alicent.
«It is true that there are no winners in war – he says – the only winner is the war itself. It is something that we also see in our lives, in our world.” And his character is one of those who had to fight from a young age in the series.
«He has a big weight on his shoulders. We see him in the first season. He doesn’t let bygones be bygones. He holds a lot of grudges, it’s a defense mechanism, after all, and – he anticipates – he’s also hiding something else that I can’t wait for people to see.”
