Why ‘House of the Dragon’ Season 2 Premiere Killed Off [SPOILER] in ‘Blood and Cheese’ Scene and How It’s Different From the Book
Season 2 of HBO's "House of the Dragon" begins with another tragic death.
The toddler Jaehaerys, the son of King Aegon II (Tom Glynn-Carney) and Queen Helaena (Phia Saban), is killed in his bed by two men nicknamed “Blood and Cheese,” one a hulking former member of the City Watch and the other the royal rat catcher. While the premiere ends in tragedy, and promises of darker days to come, it opens with a bit of fan service: “House of the Dragon’s” first look at the North, the home of Jon Snow and the Stark family, from the original “Game of Thrones.” The specific reason in this case was to introduce the character Cregan Stark (played by Tom Taylor) and his friendship with Rhaenyra’s eldest son Jacaerys Velaryon (Harry Collett), just before Jace learns of his brother Luc’s death.
