The second season of the “Game of Thrones” spinoff “House of the Dragon” will air in early summer 2024. HBO boss Casey Bloys confirmed this this Thursday (November 2nd) at an HBO event in New York, as “Deadline” reports.
Filming for the second season, which consists of eight episodes, has been completed and the series is currently in post-production. The episodes were largely able to continue filming over the past summer as the largely British cast was not affected by the SAG-AFTRA strike. They also hope to be able to shoot the new “Game of Thrones” series “A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: The Hedge Knight” in the spring, explained Bloys.
For the upcoming “House of the Dragon” episodes, showrunner Ryan Condal promised more of what has always characterized the series from the “Game of Thrones” universe in a statement in April 2023: insidious intrigues and epochal battles: “Everyone Your favorite characters will soon be conspiring at the council tables, marching with their armies and riding their dragons into battle. We can’t wait to show you what we have in store.” Condal had already stoked anticipation at the beginning of March. At a screening event in Los Angeles, he promised that the second season of “House of the Dragon” would significantly increase the number of dragons. “You’re going to meet five new dragons,” Condal said, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
At the event in New York, HBO boss Bloys announced further series news. The second season of the acclaimed video game adaptation “The Last of Us” is scheduled to go into production early next year and be released in 2025. The third season of “White Lotus” was planned for 2024, but will now likely be postponed to 2025 due to the SAG-AFTRA strike, explained Casey Bloys.
The fans of “Euphoria” will also have to wait a little longer for the third season of the drama series, it will not return until 2025, the CEO confirmed. Work has already begun on the third season of the “Sex and the City” spin-off “And Just Like That…”, but due to the strike it is not yet possible to set a date for the start of production.
