House of the Dragon season 2 is almost at an end, with only the finale remaining. That means we can expect fireworks when the final episode does arrive.
There's been no shortage of big shocks so far, with some key characters biting the dust in grisly ways (thanks, Blood and Cheese and Rook's Rest) and some pretty epic dragon battles taking the skies of Westeros by storm. With only one episode to go, then, it's all to play for in the war of Greens vs. Blacks, especially with the dragonseeds now in play.
So, if you're desperate for what's next, then you're in the right place, as we've got all you need to know about streaming the final episode of House of the Dragon. You won't be waiting long for the last installment either, as the show is airing weekly in both the UK and the US.
