‘The House of the Dragon’ Season 2 Won’t Arrive Until Summer 2024

While there were doubts, especially after the disappointing final season of ‘Game of Thrones’ and competition from ‘Lord of the Rings: Rings of Power’, ‘House of the Dragon’ only needed one episode to become one of the greatest hits of current television. During its first season, released in August 2022, The fantastic blockbuster continued to grow in audience and social impact, until saying goodbye in style in October, after its first ten episodes.

Soon after, speculation began as to when his comeback would happen. Aware of the titanic effort required to grow a season of a large-scale series like this, it made sense that we would have to wait longer than usual to see its new episodes. Casey Boys, CEO of HBO and HBO Max, confirmed this at the end of last October, when he confirmed that ‘The House of the Dragon’ would not return until 2024. And now, the exec corroborated this information, providing new clues that point to a possible mid-year premiere.

In a new interview with Variety, Bloys assures that the series will return in 2024, and although he doesn’t specify a date, reveals it “it is very possible” that the second season misses the deadline set for the 2024 Emmys. Said deadline marks May 31, 2024 as the premiere date for picking nominations, meaning that the series won’t return, at least, until the summer of 2024. If rumors of a March 6 start to filming are true, it makes sense that the new episodes won’t be ready for more than a year, especially considering the extended filming length and lengthy post-production. process for a number of these characteristics.

The scripts dictate the pace

With the emergence of streaming and the increase in the size of some television productions, it is increasingly common that the premieres between seasons of series considered blockbusters are increasingly distant. Without going any further, it happened with ‘Game of Thrones’, and it is clear that its spin-off will continue this trend. On this, Bloys explains that success will not lead them to rush to publish new chapters as soon as possible, but that what prevails is quality: “My philosophy is that the number one priority is a good script”He says. “I don’t act on a desire to have a season or two a year. I want it to depend on the scripts that we’re excited about”.

Of course, This does not mean that it is not possible that at some point several series of the saga created by George RR Martin coexist to fill the wait between seasons. In this regard, Bloys recalls that, before finding the perfect spin-off in ‘La Casa del Dragon’, they developed several projects and even recorded a pilot that was ultimately scrapped, and assures that they will continue to work on the expansion of the franchise: “We’re doing it right now. I’m not against a certain number of series. There’s probably a natural limit to what fans want, but I’m open to anyone as long as we feel good about the scripts and ideas for a series.” “..
