One of the main characters, Rhaenyra, is preparing for a major conflict, becoming even stronger this season as she gathers her allies and prepares for war.
On the other hand, Aemond, played by Evan Mitchell, is determined to retain his power even if it means making reckless decisions. The recent trailer for the finale has added to the excitement, introducing a new dragon named Tessarion. Let’s see what we can expect in this epic finale and learn more about Tessarion’s role.

The trailer hints at the long-awaited appearance of Derron, and fans are eager to see how this character will impact the ongoing conflict.
