The House of the Dragon It has been the most anticipated premiere of HBO since the last season of Game of Thrones. And it is that the fans of the universe created by George RR Martin are left wanting more. The pilot episode of House of the Dragon debuted with 10 million viewers in American time, and 25 million viewers on the online platform that same week; a record in the history of HBO. The deployment of the series is being a real success, so many may now be asking the question: Will there be or will there not be a second season of the series?
Is House of the Dragon written by George RR Martin?
Unlike the last seasons of Game of Thrones which HBO recorded, The House of the Dragon he does have books to draw on. the saga of Song of ice and fire It has five published books, so the writers of the series could only rely on the original text until the end of the fifth season. There it began to be noticed how the series was making waters by not having a literary plot on which to base itself.
The House of the Dragon it is based on the book fire and bloodby George RR Martin, published October 20, 2018. This novel is about a full story of the house Targaryens. The writer had originally planned to publish this book after finishing the saga of Song of ice and firebut with the delay of the last two volumes (winds of winter Y spring dream, still to be published) decided to release it. Specifically, the events that take place in the HBO series appear in the second half of the volume.
As often happens to our dear George RR Martin, he has gotten so busy writing that he has material for a second volume of the Targaryens. This makes fire and blood be the first volume of a scholastic treatise on the entire Targaryen dynasty in Westeros and that HBO has enough material to do if it wants more seasons about the kings and queens that succeed – or precede – Viserys I Targaryen. The writer himself recently confirmed this information on his official blog, where he has ventured to calculate how many installments the series will have (or rather need) in total: four seasons in order to do justice to the whole story.
Refering to official confirmation of a second seasonwhich is what concerns us now, yes, House of Dragons will have a Season 2. And the reception was such that there were barely two days left before the second episode of the series premiered when renewal confirmed.
When does the second season of The House of the Dragon premiere?
Yet has not been announced an exact date for the premiere of the second season. The last two episodes of this first block have yet to be released, which will end on October 23, 2022. Being very optimistic, we could expect the next season at the end of 2023; however, we will most likely have to arm ourselves with patience until 2024.
After all, filming hasn’t started yet, and the first season took 10 months to shoot. This is not counting all the editing and post-production work that a fantastic series like this needs. As much as they shoot the scenes in dreamy locations, the dragons have yet to be CGIed.
Unless HBO invests a lot of dough in a Jurassic Park of dragons that speeds up the filming process, we are very afraid that we will have to wait a bit before the premiere date of the second season of The House of the Dragon.
