"Sure, we had a taste of some dragon battle in season two (and it was chilling), but the long-awaited Battle of the Gullet is haunting nearly every frame of the new teaser trailer. Clearly, little time has passed since season two's secret rendezvous between Alicent and Rhaenyra, as the teaser opens with Rhaenyra telling her Team Black council about it. "Alicent came to Dragonstone. She will open the gates of the Red Keep and surrender to me," she says."
"But her son Jace doesn't seem to agree. "You cannot trust her," he retorts before we eventually see him flying off to battle. The new season comes out this June, in time for Pride Month, which is great timing for the show that gave us Rhaenicent, the best ship in the expanded Game of Thrones universe. ( Knight of the Seven Kingdoms did really try, but sorry, these star-crossed queens are too good to beat.) So who locked Rhaenyra in that closet room?"
War between Targaryen factions is accelerating as the Battle of the Gullet looms and dragon combat dominates the teaser imagery. Little time has passed since the secret rendezvous between Alicent and Rhaenyra, and Rhaenyra claims Alicent will open the Red Keep and surrender. Jace openly distrusts Alicent and rides into battle. The new season premieres in June during Pride Month. The teaser spotlights the Rhaenyra–Alicent dynamic (Rhaenicent), raises questions about who locked Rhaenyra in a closet and whether Mysaria or Alicent will address past incidents, and teases romantic and political tensions among key characters.
