Brace yourselves, ‘House of the Dragon’ fans, because winter isn’t the only thing coming. Season 2 promises to unleash a new kind of terror and it all hinges on the cunning and increasingly volatile Prince Aemond Targaryen.
Actor Ewan Mitchell, who portrays the young prince, recently dropped a bombshell hint about how Aemond will turn the show “into a horror film.” Let’s unpack what this statement might mean for the upcoming season.

Aemond’s Targaryen’s Dark Transformation
In season 1, Aemond was a complex figure. Often overshadowed by his older brother Aegon and ostracized for his lack of a dragon, he embodied a simmering resentment. However, the season finale marked a turning point. Aemond, in a moment of impulsive cruelty, claimed the powerful dragon Vhagar, a beast considerably larger and older than any other Targaryen mount.
Additionally, this act not only ignited a fierce hatred between him and Rhaenyra’s son, Lucerys Velaryon but also hinted at a darkness stirring within Aemond. Mitchell suggests that season 2 will see this darkness fully unleashed. He describes Aemond as “playing you like a violin.”
“He hijacks the show and turns it into a horror film,” he added while talking to Vogue. However, the potential is there. The Targaryens, with their history of madness and their reliance on fire-breathing dragons, already possess an inherent element of the monstrous. In conclusion, Aemond’s descent into darkness, coupled with the looming Targaryen civil war, could create a truly unsettling atmosphere.
