Baela and Rhaena Targaryen dance off the stress on the set of House of the Dragon
By Dan Selcke
The second season of House of the Dragon premieres on HBO and Max sometime this June. We'll catch up with not only the major characters we fell in love with in season 1 — the ambitious Rhaenyra Targaryen, her mercurial husband Daemon, her sleazy half-brother Aegon — but also smaller characters like Baela and Rhaena Targaryen, Daemon's daughters from his previous marriage to Laena Velaryon.
In the first season, we learned that Rhaena Targaryen (played as a teenager by Phoebe Campbell) didn't yet have a dragon to call her own. Her sister Baela (Bethany Antonia) does have a dragon named Moondancer, who we'll see her riding in season 2. Or at least that's what it looks like based on the House of the Dragon teaser trailer; clock the shot of her screaming while flying through the air at the 0:47 mark:
We know that Bethany Antonia has been on set for reshoots. Apparently Phoebe Campbell is there too, because Antonia shared an adorable video of the two of them dancing in costume on her Instagram page. She shared it to her Instagram Stories, which means it will fade with time, but Twitter has preserved it forever.
We were just getting to know Baela and Rhaena when the first season of House of the Dragon ended, so here's hoping we spend more time with them in season 2. See you this summer.
