“House of The Dragon” which is a prequel to “Game of Thrones,” tells the story of the House Targaryen, set to be 200 years before HBO’s “Game of Thrones.” The series is based on George R.R. Martin’s 2018 novel “Fire & Blood.”
Due to the success of “Game of Thrones,” when the first episode of “House of The Dragon” season 1 aired, it amassed about 10 million views on its first day.

Ryan shared: “House of the Dragon has returned. We are thrilled to be shooting again with members of our original family as well as new talents on both sides of the camera.”
He also added, “All 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 share what we have in store.”
Last year, a cast member Ewan Mitchell shared in an interview with “The Face” that said the filming of Season 2 would last for “eight months” in 2023. If his calculation is correct, that means from Ryan’s announcement that it has begun, production will last till December, and season 2 will premiere in 2024.
