3 May 2024

Season 2 of the HBO Original drama series House of the Dragon streaming in Africa from 17 June

The eight-episode second season of HBO Original drama series House of the Dragon debuts in the US on Sunday 16 June – and will be available on M-Net, Express from the US, at 03:00 on Monday, 17 June and make its prime-time premiere at 21:00 on the same day. The series will also be available on Showmax on 17 June, and every Monday thereafter for seven more weeks.

Westeros is on the brink of a bloody civil war with the Green and Black Councils fighting for King Aegon and Queen Rhaenyra, respectively. As each side believes theirs to be the rightful seat on the Iron Throne, the Green and Black trailers reflect those two perspectives in separate yet complementary halves of the same story. For global audiences, “All Must Choose” their side of House Targaryen as the realm fractures in Season 2.
