Game of Thrones prequel series House of the Dragon has confirmed a release window for its second season, with the epic fantasy returning to screens in June.
The show was renewed just one week after its first episode aired on August 21st, 2022, with the opener bringing in record-breaking viewing figures for HBO, and won ‘Best Television Series’ at the 80th edition of the Golden Globes.
Additionally, House of the Dragon was nominated for nine Primetime Emmys including ‘Outstanding Drama Series’, although it only picked up a solitary victory in the costume design category.
At Morgan Stanley’s Technology, Media and Telecom conference on March 4th, Warner Bros Discovery’s streaming and gaming boss J.B. Perrette revealed the adaptation of George R.R. Martin’s novel Fire & Blood will be back in June. Although Perrette refrained from providing an exact date for the season two premiere.
The second series will continue follow the Targaryen clan almost two centuries before the events of Game of Thrones. Almost all of the cast members who managed to survive the first season will be back, including Matt Smith, Olivia Cooke, Emma D’Arcy, Eve Best, Steve Toussaint, Fabien Frankel, Ewan Mitchell, Tom Glynn-Carney, Sonoya Mizuno, and Rhys Ifans.
New additions to the ensemble include Abubakar Salim, Gayle Rankin, Freddie Fox, and Simon Russell Beale. House of the Dragon proved every bit as popular as Game of Thrones was during the height of its run, continuing to expand the mythology of Westeros and immerse audiences back into Martin’s mythical world.
With only three months left until season two arrives, a specific date for the premiere of its sophomore run is expected to arrive shortly.
