10 Things We Need To See In House Of The Dragon Season 2

10. The return of the Starks

Winter is coming to House of the Dragon in Season 2.

The first season finale, The Black Queen, saw Jacaerys and Lucerys sent on separate missions as envoys on behalf on Rhaenyra. While viewers are now painfully familiar with the tragic fate that befalls Luke on his journey to Storm's End, Jace's storyline has yet to play out onscreen.

Rhaenyra's eldest son has been sent as an emissary to House Stark and House Arryn in an attempt to sway them to the Black's cause, meaning that the show will see the return of two of Game of Thrones' most storied families - this is particularly exciting news in the case of the Starks. While the beloved family have only made a cameo appearance during Rhaenyra's acclamation as heir on the show to date, it will come of little surprise that arguably Game of Thrones' most famous House has a role to play in the Dance of the Dragons. As such, it is crucial that HBO's offering does the gravity of their momentous on-screen return justice.

At the time House of the Dragon is set, the head of the Stark family is the Wolf of the North, Cregan Stark. Considering the pivotal role that Cregan ultimately plays in proceedings, it is vital that House of the Dragon continues with their usual casting panache for the show's take on the Wardens of the North; it is no mean feat living up to the likes of iconic Stark actors in the vein of Sean Bean and Richard Madden.
