Sky TV viewers have discovered 10 secret House of the Dragon remote control tricks ahead of the new series starting in hours. Viewers can watch brand new episodes of series two at 2am on Sky Atlantic each week at the same time as they're broadcast in the US.

Or, UK based fans can wait until they are shown later in the day at 9pm and on-demand. To mark the show's return, Sky has introduced some new House of the Dragon themed voice commands on Sky Stream, Sky Glass and Sky Q.

Fans of the show, which stars Matt Smith and Paddy Considine as well as Olivia Cooke, have been urged to brush up on the commands and maximise their Sky sets ahead of the eagerly-anticipated and widely awaited second season tonight.

Just say "Hello Sky" followed by one of the following phrases to go directly to the show's dedicated page: Team Green, House Green, Alicent, Hightower, Team Black, House Black, Rhaenyra, Westeros, Targaryen and House of the Dragon collection.

Season two of House Of The Dragon sees Westeros on the brink of a bloody civil war as the Green and Black Councils fight for King Aegon and Queen Rhaenyra, respectively. The upcoming season will see Smith return as Prince Daemon Targaryen, younger brother of King Viserys Targaryen (Paddy Considine), and D’Arcy reprises her role as Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen, the king’s first-born child who is of pure Valyrian blood and a dragon rider.

At the end of the first series, Viserys died leaving his wife Alicent Hightower (Cooke), his son Aegon Targaryen (Tom Glynn-Carney) and closest adviser, Hand of the King, Otto Hightower (Rhys Ifans), to fight as the greens with the black faction leader Rhaenyra over the crown.

In a Sky Atlantic teaser trailer, Rhaenyra pledges that she “will fight this war and win it” while Steve Toussaint as Lord Corlys Velaryon urges her to take action.
