« I think Aemond, although he was the second son, he wished he was treated as the first, but ultimately he's the spare.

He's the one who goes out and fights the war. He feels that Aegon lacks the perseverance to be king. He was the one who squandered his inheritance and Aemond, he was training with Criston Cole in the Red Keep yard. So yeah, they're very different, but maybe they need each other. »

— Ewan Mitchell (Aemond Targaryen) speaking to People at the Season 2 premiere of HotD at the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York City.

The article has a spoiler warning for Season 2. But I found only one bit that might be a very indirect spoiler and probably wouldn't mean anything to somebody who didn't already know about it.

Here's Ewan at the event on Monday.

For those of us who weren't at the Hammerstein Ballroom on Monday, Season 2 begins on June 16th (June 17th Eastern Hemisphere time).

George R.R. Martin and author Nnedi Okorafor with @neil-gaiman showing support for striking WGA writers on the picket line in Santa Fe, New Mexico.

If you are in the NYC area or Southern California, here's a list of picketing locations. If you'd like to spend a couple of hours demonstrating support for the writers, they would be happy to see you.

Picket Schedules and Locations

Obviously from the Santa Fe photos, it's not just the coasts where picketing is taking place. You can contact the WGA to see if there is any picketing in your area.

Good writing comes from imagination, practice, and experience – not from a bot. We need to support the people who are writing the next House of the Dragon.

I'm in Santa Fe so of course I went down to the picket line outside a local studio. George RR Martin was there too, and I got to see Paris, George's better half, as well. So was incredible author Nnedi Okorafor who had driven in from Arizona to be on the picket line.

HBO/Max seems to be cranking out these promotional videos for HotD Season 2 every two or three days.

While cool, not that much new in this one except some behind the scenes shots. Oh, and Aemond without his patch.

Season 2 begins 33 days after this post is published.

If David’s sign has to do with Ty’s character Aegon, then there may be some truth to it.

One thing that’s obvious, Ty is not a natural Targaryen blond.

Targaryens trying to go incognito outside the Red Keep need to work a little harder on their disguises.

Aemond is probably the most famous highborn guy in his early 20s with an eyepatch and facial scar in the capital.

Ty Tennant portrays Aegon Targaryen, eldest son of King Viserys and Alicent Hightower. Before the 10ish year time jump, his character was about 4-years-old. Clearly a new actor was needed to play Aegon.

Ty is the adopted son of David Tennant (the tenth Doctor Who) and the grandson of Peter Davison (the fifth Doctor Who). In the one episode Ty has appeared in so far he has not shared a scene with Matt Smith (the eleventh Doctor Who). Matt’s character, Daemon Targaryen, would be Aegon’s uncle; I hope Uncle Daemon pays a visit to King’s Landing in the next episode. 

Ty, who's 20, was born to his mom Georgia when she as 17. When Georgia married David in 2011, he adopted Ty. The couple have five kids in total. Ty has been following in his parents' footsteps for a few years now. He starred in the TV series "War of the Worlds" for three years and also appeared in series and movies like "Tolkein" and "Doom Patrol."

It's not clear how many episodes of "House of the Dragon" Ty will appear in, since the show uses frequent time jumps. HBO announced before the season premiered that the character would ultimately be played by Tom Glynn-Carney. It seems likely that Ty will appear in at least one more episode, though.

So we’re not finished with time jumps, but they’ll be shorter than the one we just saw. Ty will likely be back at least in S01E07.
