‘The House of the Dragon’: the president of HBO confirms that the second season will not arrive before 2024

Not even a week has passed since the end of the first season of “The House of the Dragon” and fans are already eager to know when we can enjoy the Dance of the Dragons again.. Just a few days ago, we echoed the statements from Ryan Condal, the showrunner of the series, that we expected filming to begin in early 2023. Now, Casey Bloys, the president of HBO, has confirmed that the series will not return to the platform until 2024.

In an interview for Vulture, Bloys confirmed the worst news for fans of the series who hoped to see the succession war between the Targaryen family as soon as possible: “Don’t wait for it in 2023, I think it will arrive in 2024. We are starting to put the plan together and, like last time, there are many unknowns. Not to be shy or reserved, but I don’t want to say a date when it will be ready, and then move it. “.

In turn, Bloys also talked about the success of the “Game of Thrones” sequel and what this meant for the platform: “I can’t overstate how important it is to have such a big title. It’s not just that it attracts other people to those series, it’s that those people watch a lot of other things, not just HBO shows, but also shows from our library like ‘Friends. ‘or’ The Big Bang Theory ‘. We are trying to make people addicted, love our product and not get tired of it”. And that’s basically what happened with “The House of the Dragon”, that It increased the audience of the original series during the weeks before its premiere, as well as causing an increase in the number of subscriptions on the platform..

Is it possible that a new spin-off will arrive sooner?

Also to the director of the famous streaming service He was asked about the possibility of another new series derived from “Game of Thrones” coming to the platform before the second season of “The House of the Dragon”. However, Bloys has pretty much ruled out this possibility: “I think the next thing will probably be the second season. I try not to comment too much on the development, so I won’t say much, just that when we find a story that George RR Martin is happy with and so are we, we will move on”.

Additionally, he was asked about the benefit of creating this second spin-off series, which would allow HBO to launch a new season of the Game of Thrones universe each year. “Well, we’ll see. It would be very nice, it would be very nice”Bloys said between laughs.
