House of the Dragon executive producer and writer Sarah Hess has confirmed that the infamous ‘Blood and Cheese’ storyline will be depicted on-screen and promised fans they will not be disappointed. What exactly is ‘Blood and Cheese’? It’s a memorable plot from George R.R. Martin‘s Fire & Blood novel, which describes two fearsome individuals sent by Queen Rhaenyra (Emma D’Arcy) to seek vengeance for her son’s death. It’s one of the book’s darkest and most violent arcs, so there is plenty of expectation and trepidation regarding the HBO adaptation. “We are currently writing the finale of Season 2,” Hess told Variety when asked about the ‘Blood and Cheese’ storyline last month. “I don’t think you will be disappointed.” House of the Dragon‘s first season ended with Rhaenyra’s son Lucerys (Elliot Grihault) being sent to Storm’s End to broker a deal with the Queen’s bannermen.

Fan backlash comes with the territory of shows like House of the Dragon. Not only does it continue the adaptation of a beloved series by author G.R.R. Martin, but it comes after a largely disappointing final season of HBO’s Game of Thrones. Despite some unconventional choices, including a mid-season time jump that saw series leads Milly Alcock and Emily Carey replaced by Emma D’Arcy and Olivia Cooke as older versions of Rhaenyra Targaryen and Alicent Hightower, there’s one genuine fan complaint that showrunner Ryan Condon cannot ignore.
When asked about the darkness of several House of the Dragon episodes, Condon promised The Hollywood Reporter, “The visual continuity of the show is something we will look at.” As the phrase “visual continuity” suggests, complaints about the franchise’s darkness are nothing new.

HBO dropped the first “House of The Dragon” teaser trailer and character posters on Thursday.
The teaser trailer, which you can watch above, shows life in the “Game of Thrones” world when the Targaryens ruled, about 200 years before the events of the HBO series that ran for eight seasons.
The footage shows heads of the Stark, Baratheon and House Velaryon families pledging fealty to Targaryen King Viserys and his heir, Princess Rhaenyra. And the princess gets a warning about the battle of the sexes as Rhaenys tells her “Men would sooner put the realm to torch than see a woman ascend the Iron Throne.”
It also hints at plenty of conflict and even bloodshed, with one of the characters remarking as the trailer closes, “History does not remember blood, it remembers names.”
