Fans of dragons, rejoice! HBO has unveiled details about the much-anticipated arrival of House of the Dragon season two on our screens.
The show, set in the fictional continent of Westeros, explores the Targaryen dynasty nearly two centuries before the events of "Game of Thrones" and roughly a century after the Targaryens unified the Seven Kingdoms under their rule. The series achieved record-breaking viewership figures for HBO, and now, fans can eagerly anticipate the upcoming season.
Just a week after the premiere of its first episode, House of the Dragon was renewed for a second season, with filming commencing in April of this year. Importantly, the scripts for the upcoming season were finalized before production disruptions caused by the Writers Guild of America and SAG-AFTRA strikes this summer, ensuring minimal delays to the production and release schedules of the series.
HBO network chief Casey Bloys recently disclosed the anticipated release timeframe for the second season. During a press event in New York, Bloys announced that the series is set to premiere in the "early summer" of the following year. This implies that the season could potentially hit screens as early as May 2024.
The core cast, including Matt Smith, Olivia Cooke, Emma D’Arcy, Eve Best, Steve Toussaint, Fabien Frankel, Ewan Mitchell, Tom Glynn-Carney, Sonoya Mizuno, and Rhys Ifans, will be reprising their roles in the upcoming season. Additionally, new characters played by Gayle Rankin, Simon Russell Beale, Freddie Fox, and Abubakar Salim will be introduced.
Fans can anticipate witnessing further conflicts and power struggles within the Targaryen family as the series unfolds the eventual downfall of their rule, along with the demise of their dragons, leading to a devastating civil war. According to Fire & Blood author Martin, the Targaryen story is expected to be fully explored over "four full seasons of 10 episodes each."
