Sky have confirmed when the new second series of House of the Dragon will air in the UK.
Season two of the award-winning Game of Thrones prequel will debut exclusively on Sky Atlantic and streaming service NOW from June 17.
Two 'duelling' teaser trailers dropped on Thursday ahead of the eight-episode second series, each focusing on different sides of the civil war conflict.
The trailers give viewers the option of choosing 'Team Green' or 'Team Black', following events of the first season in Westeros which saw King Viserys Targaryen (Paddy Considine) die.

Filmed at Warner Bros. Studios Leavesden in Hertfordshire, episodes of the highly anticipated season two of House of the Dragon will be released weekly on Sky and NOW.
UK viewers will be able to join the global excitement with each instalment available at the same time as the US at 2am.
Based on George R.R. Martin’s 'Fire & Blood', the series — set 200 years before the events of HBO series Game of Thrones — tells the story of House Targaryen.
Westeros is on the brink of a bloody civil war with the Green and Black Councils fighting for King Aegon and Queen Rhaenyra, respectively.
As each side believes theirs to be the rightful seat on the Iron Throne, the Green and Black trailers reflect those two perspectives in separate yet complementary halves of the same story.
Matt Smith returns as Daemon Targaryen and Emma D’Arcy reprises her role as Rhaenyra Targaryen, while Tom Glynn-Carney plays Aegon II Targaryen.

For global audiences, 'All Must Choose' their side of House Targaryen as the realm fractures in season two.
Returning cast includes Matt Smith, Olivia Cooke, Emma D’Arcy, Eve Best, Steve Toussaint, Fabien Frankel, Ewan Mitchell, Tom Glynn-Carney, Sonoya Mizuno, and Rhys Ifans as Otto Hightower.
Additional returning cast includes Harry Collett, Bethany Antonia, Phoebe Campbell, Phia Saban, Jefferson Hall, and Matthew Needham.
New members cast are Abubakar Salim as Alyn of Hull, Gayle Rankin as Alys Rivers, Freddie Fox as Ser Gwayne Hightower, Simon Russell Beale as Ser Simon Strong, Clinton Liberty as Addam of Hull, Jamie Kenna as Ser Alfred Broome, Kieran Bew as Hugh, Tom Bennett as Ulf, Tom Taylor as Lord Cregan Stark, and Vincent Regan as Ser Rickard Thorne.
In Sky Atlantic’s Black trailer, Rhaenyra (Emma D’Arcy) pledges “I mean to fight this war and win it”.
Meanwhile, Daemon (Matt Smith) is heard saying: “Our terms are very simple: Renounce the false king and bend the knee to the queen, or your house burns.”
In the Green trailer, Alicent (Olivia Cooke) tells her son Aegon that he does not understand the “sacrifices” made so that he can sit on the Iron Throne.
Her scheming father also appears to tell Aegon: “We will prevail and bring forth peace. But you must accept that the path to victory now is one of violence.”
Aegon says: "Good... To war then."
Sharing the two trailers on Instagram, Warner Bros. Studios Leavesden posted: "There are two sides to every story."
House of the Dragon season two airs on June 17.
