The Game of Thrones spin-off House of the Dragon is coming back for a second season, and showrunner Ryan Condal has teased more of what to expect from the sophomore season. Be warned that this story contains spoilers for House of the Dragon.

Speaking to Deadline, Condal said Season 1 laid the foundation and now Season 2 will settle into the "more traditional rhythms of storytelling."

"We did the hard, complex work of setting up this entirely new dynasty and family and all the players in Season 1 and took the time to do all the character work so you understood where everybody fell along the line of are they on Alicent's side of the equation, Aegon's side or are they on Rhaenyra's side and Daemon's side," Condal said. "The excitement now is that we get to fall into the more traditional rhythms of storytelling and see where that story is going to go."
