House of the Dragon fans believe they've spotted Daeron in the final S2 trailer

A handful of House of the Dragon fans believe they caught a glimpse of Daeron in the quick-cut end credits trailer for Season 2.

Season 2 of House of the Dragon is gearing up for its bloodiest battle yet, as the Targaryen civil war heads to the Battle of the Gullet.

Since the Black Team has overseen the integration of several unclaimed dragons and new dragon riders, viewers were hoping to see some new faces on the Green Team.

Their prayers may have been answered, as some eagle-eyed fans spotted Daeron, Alicent’s youngest son, in the background of the Season 2 Episode 8 trailer.

Could this possibly be who I think it is? From the Season Finale preview.

At 0:50 in the trailer, viewers can see a blond man in the background of a sword fight.

The sight of the blond man on the Greens’ side was enough to convince some fans that this would be their first look at Alicent’s son Daeron.

Before the Dance of Dragons began, Alicent sent her youngest son with King Viserys Targaryen back to her hometown of Oldtown so he could be raised by her relatives in House Hightower.

According to her brother Gwayne, Daeron grew up to be a kind, sweet dragonrider who was skilled in both swordplay and the lute.

But it would make more sense for him to be called into battle to defend the Iron Throne from his half-sister Rhaenyra, especially since he had the dragon Tessarion in his possession.

However, some viewers were skeptical that the blonde in the trailer was Daeron, with one writing, “Unless Daeron can teleport from Oldtown to the royal lands, that’s impossible.”
