There have been several time jumps that have happened in HBO Dragon House, and for the last time, the time jump of episode 8 will be the finale. The studio has released new scene images from the upcoming episode, showing off the new redesign.
The prequel series began with Milly Alcock and Emily Carey as Rhaenyra Targaryen and Alicent Hightower, respectively. Fast forward to 10, they’ve been replaced by Emma D’Arcy and Olivia Cooke. The Targaryen Children (Aegon II, Aemond, and Helaena), the Velaryon Brothers (Jacaerys, Lucerys, and Joffrey), and the Targaryen Sisters (Baela and Rhaena) also debuted. In the next episode 8, the children will be replaced by their old versions, the final cast that will remain for the long term.

Meet the new additions to the House Of The Dragon cast
The intense encounters of the previous episode will lead the plot towards the disturbing war between the “greens” and the “blacks”. After Aemond stole and claimed Vhagar, Laena’s dragon, the children fought during which Lucerys cut out Aemond’s left eye. Queen Alicent asked an eye for an eye and ordered Lucerys’ eye removed, but King Viserys refused.
This intensified the feud between Rhaenyra and Alicent, as the former will defend her position as heir to the throne while the latter will do anything to usurp the crown from her eldest son, Aegon II. The latest addition to the cast includes Tom Glynn-Carney as Aegon II, Ewan Mitchell as Aemond, Harry Collett as Jacaerys, Elliot Grihault as Lucerys, Bethany Antonia as Baela, and Phoebe Campbell as Rhaena.

What will happen in episode 8?
The preview for Episode 8 reveals an injured Lord Corlys Velaryon at Stepstones, and the topic of succession has been in question since the death of his eldest son, Laenor. Rhaenyra’s sons in Laenor are believed to be bastards, which will become the focal point of the next episode titled “The Lord of the Tides.”
Now that the final cast has been revealed, it’s safe to say that viewers shouldn’t get too attached to the characters, given that there’s always death in every episode and the impending civil war will claim more casualties. . Dragon House takes place two hundred years before the events of game of thrones with House Targaryen at the height of their power.
The ensuing blood feud between Greens and Blacks will be known as the Dance of the Dragons, the epic war of succession between Aegon II and Princess Rhaenyra.
