The Game of Thrones has gotten out of hand with politics, ambition, death, and dragons. In an unexpected move, HBO has dropped two dueling trailers for the second season of House of the Dragon, one focusing on Rhaenyra’s ‘team black’ and the other on Alicent’s ‘team green’. With each trailer being presented from the perspective of the two factions on either side of the Targaryen Civil War, the move is simple: to urge viewers to pick sides.

The new season picks up after the death of King Viserys I, and will show how his daughter Rhaenyra, played by Emma D’Arcy, and wife Alicent, played by Olivia Cooke, are now at war for the Iron throne.
