House of the Dragon Season 2

House of the Dragon co-creator and executive producer, Ryan Condal, has revealed Season 2 will begin filming early next year.

All episodes of Season 1 of House of the Dragon are now streaming on HBO Max. " He also noted that "...those will continue to be the home bases for the show." Whether a 2023 release date is possible is still not known; however, viewers can rest assured that the production team is hard at work on creating the second season. However, a war is, in fact, on the horizon for Westeros. Of the second season's expanding world Condal noted that "[j]ust as the original Game of Thrones grew in scope and expanse as it went, so, too, will ours." However, he also noted that there will remain several key settings that will ground the series, noting that the production has "...lived a good bit in three different worlds through this show: King’s Landing, Dragonstone and Driftmark.

The Dance of Dragons has begun. Rhaenyra Targaryen, the rightful heir to the Iron Throne, briefly considered bending the knee to her half-brother King Aegon ...

Of all the families mentioned in the episode, we have a special place in our hearts for the Starks. House of the Dragon has been playing fast and loose with the children’s ages throughout the series, and at this point it’s unclear who is and isn’t considered a grown-up ready to fight. Perhaps he interprets Viserys keeping the secret of the dream from him as a signal that Viserys never trusted Daemon or considered Daemon a possible heir to the throne. In the Season 1 finale, he tells Rhaenyra that Team Black has more dragons than Team Green. He tells her that Aegon the Conquerer subjugated the people of Westeros in part because he had a dream a Targaryen would need to sit on the Iron Throne when a great winter (i.e. And if her children continue to die, is Rhaenyra doomed to the same fate that Daenerys suffered in [Game of Thrones?](https://time.com/6206772/house-of-the-dragon-connects-game-of-thrones/) But in the final episode, we see a fissure between the Queen and her partner. In both cases, the dream serves largely as a plot device to confuse Alicent into believing her son ought to be crowned king and angering Daemon who never learned the secret prophesy from his brother. The Season 1 finale was named “The Black Queen,” and it seems that Rhaenyra is finally ready to take on that title. Early in the season, Viserys warned Rhaenyra that “the idea that we control the dragons is an illusion. Again, this seems largely to be choice on the part of the writers to complicate the character rather than a plot-driven decision. But the death of Rhaenyra’s son Lucerys at the hands of Aegon’s brother Aemond—mistake or not—enraged Rhaenyra and kicked off a civil war that will play out over several seasons.

Now that season one is over, let's look ahead at the coming war for the Iron Throne and what else we might see in the next season of House Of The Dragon.

[an interview with The Hollywood Reporter](https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/house-of-the-dragon-matt-smith-daemon-targaryen-crush-1235242470/), writer and executive producer Sara Hess said the next season will explore the relationship between Rhaenyra and Daemon more fully. [a more even pace](https://deadline.com/2022/10/house-of-the-dragon-ryan-condal-promises-more-war-and-humour-matt-smith-season-two-1235152764/) in season two, one more familiar to Game Of Thrones fans. If they follow a schedule similar to this year, we could be seeing dragons taking flight again on our screens before the end of 2023. Club set up two different approaches for Game Of Thrones when it was on the air—one for [experts](https://www.avclub.com/tv/reviews/game-of-thrones-experts) and one for [newbies](https://www.avclub.com/tv/reviews/game-of-thrones-newbies). “And right now, we’re writing season two and figuring out, what is the nature of his relationship with Rhaenyra? [a second season](https://www.avclub.com/hbo-renews-house-of-the-dragon-for-season-2-1849461556) was in store since August, although it was always a pretty safe bet that HBO wasn’t going to spend all this money capitalizing on the popularity of Game Of Thrones only call it quits after to air one season. As for the cast, we obviously won’t be seeing Elliot Grihault as Luke again (we’re still not over it), but the rest of the older players will be sticking around, including Tom Glynn-Carney as Aegon II, Ewan Mitchell as Aemond Targaryen, Harry Collett as Jace, Bethany Antonia as Baela, and Phoebe Campbell as Rhaena. Although he hasn’t given an official reason for his departure, co-showrunner Ryan Condal [implied in an interview](https://www.avclub.com/house-of-the-dragon-ryan-condal-miguel-sapochnik-exit-1849580206) that he was just burnt out on the franchise. The kingsguard has been split as well, with three going to Rhaenyra and three sticking with Aegon II. Meanwhile, the Blacks still have a legitimate claim to the throne, plus a Velaryon fleet of ships, at least six dragons left (minus poor Arrax), and one pissed off queen. Rhaenyra’s restraint has hit its limit, and Daemon isn’t the forgiving type. Episodes nine and ten this season presented the two opposite sides as they marshaled their supporters.

We have danced in the preamble of the civil war to come, with House of the Dragon doing a phenomenal job laying the groundwork with detailed backstories. Game of Thrones [seasons 1-8](https://www.amazon.co.uk/Game-Thrones-Seasons-1-8-Complete/dp/B07TD6BQHR/) are also available on DVD and Blu-ray. Lucerys' death, however, is about to blow that all out of the water as Rhaenyra will likely seek immediate recompense for her son's callous death. We'll keep our eyes peeled for news and report back quicker than a whispering spider in the Red Keep. [House of the Dragon](https://www.digitalspy.com/house-of-the-dragon/) was a hard one to beat: Rhaenys bursting out from under the flagstones on the back of her dragon? Schemers are always at work and alliances change at the drop of a betrothal. We know you can't wait for season two, so without further delay here's everything we know about House of the Dragon season two. Houses Tully, Arryn, Stark, Baratheon and Lannister will have made their allegiances but how they will play out is yet to be decided. Queen Alicent will no doubt continue to bar her way, which means the return of Olivia Cooke. He seems to have been bumped off the family tree in the TV adaptation. Rhys Ifans and Fabien Cole will return as Otto Hightower and Ser Criston Cole respectively in support of Aegon and Alicent. When will the dragons get their next excursion?

“The wonder of going into season two – for any show, but for this one in particular – is we have such an embarrassment of riches in terms of the great cast that we put together,” he said. These are one of the things that you learn in the making of a show – you take that knowledge into account when making season two and say, “How can we do better?” The feedback was certainly heard,” the showrunner said. And we want the show to be a great viewing experience for everybody." First, the elephant in the room, when quizzed about the death of Lucerys, Condal remarks that “Aemond is definitely not blameless” but that the young prince had been bullied as a kid. I intend to put all those lessons into use on season 2.” The showrunner expanded on the excitement of going into a new season, its peak being the cast of the show. However, her stance will certainly be shifted [with the dragon dance](https://collider.com/house-of-the-dragon-lucerys-death-aemond-episode-10-ending-explained/) over Storm’s End between princes Aemond (Ewan Mitchell) and Lucerys (Elliot Grihault), which resulted in Aemond’s bigger dragon Vhagar ripping into the smaller Arrax and its rider, Lucerys.

Expect those who survive the Season 1 finale to make it to Season 2, and expect more characters as the world expands. Just like the Targaryens, the brass of House of the Dragon is changing regimes. Expect Season 2 to film in the same locations, with Spain being the only confirmed location as of October 2022. Martin said that it would take four 10-episode seasons to tell his story, and HBO — despite what it did with Game of Thrones' final two seasons — tends to keep the season lengths of its shows uniform. To fill the void left by Sapochnik's departure, Game of Thrones veteran director Alan Taylor is joining Season 2. The first season of HBO's [Game of Thrones](https://www.tvguide.com/tvshows/game-of-thrones/1030422762/) prequel saw the death of King Viserys Targaryen ( [Paddy Considine](https://www.tvguide.com/celebrities/paddy-considine/3000272181/)). [Steve Toussaint](https://www.tvguide.com/celebrities/steve-toussaint/3000250126/)) returns from sea, and after some prodding from his wife declares his loyalty to Rhaenyra. Looking at Season 1, it was 14 months from the start of filming to the show's premiere on HBO (April 2021 to August 2022); doing some math and carrying the one, that means Season 2 could be airing in spring 2024. When will House of the Dragon Season 2 air? [Variety](https://variety.com/2022/tv/news/house-of-the-dragon-finale-explained-aemond-luke-rhaenrya-daemon-season-2-1235412136/) that Season 2 will begin filming in early 2023. It will be a while before the next chapter of this story airs, and we have many questions. Though Viserys' insistence that his daughter Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen ( [Emma D'Arcy](https://www.tvguide.com/celebrities/emma-darcy/3000883200/)) take his place on the Iron Throne never wavered, Queen Alicent Hightower ( [Olivia Cooke](https://www.tvguide.com/celebrities/olivia-cooke/3000494420/)) and her father Otto ( [Rhys Ifans](https://www.tvguide.com/celebrities/rhys-ifans/3030417525/)) — who is the Hand of the King — had other plans.

House of the Dragon's second season may not arrive until 2024, but showrunner Ryan Condal has said that it will feel much more like the "middle run of Game ...

Condal and the team want these moments of levity between those of great sorrow, but he also doesn't want to just retread what came before and take the easy route. Series two will hit the rhythms people came to expect from the middle run of Game of Thrones, but it will have been earned, and viewers will feel the tragedies because we put the work in.” However, he is proud of how the first season took its time to fully establish these characters throughout their lives.
