House of the Dragon switches things up in Season 2, debuting a brand-new opening credits sequence right out of the gate.
The new titles take the form of a tapestry spelling out the history of House Targaryen, from the Doom of Valyria all the way to events of House of the Dragon Season 1. The first season’s credits took a somewhat similar approach, using gears, blood, and a backdrop of Old Valyria to take us through the Targaryen family tree. While these credits tied into the show’s focus on bloodlines and succession, they were also dimly lit, with barely legible symbols representing each member of House Targaryen. Because of this, the tapestry in Season 2 is already a step up — plus, it’s just as thematic as its predecessor!
