HBO has finally revealed when the second season of House of the Dragon is expected to premiere on Max and (spoiler alert) it's sooner than I expected.
Following the development of the writers’ strike (which has now been resolved) and the actors' strike, author George R.R. Martin addressed the elephant in the room and gave a major update on House of the Dragon season two. Even better, the author hinted that the saga of House Targaryen will continue beyond season two, thanks to a massively successful first season.
But the most exciting news of all is that HBO head Casey Bloys recently confirmed the second installment is now “done shooting and in post,” which means we’ll be able to see the aftermath of the Targaryen civil war sooner rather than later. In fact, the House of the Dragon season two release date will be on—drumroll, please—June 16, 2024.
As June slowly approaches, House of the Dragon fans (like myself) were given a surprise just weeks before the season two premiere: the official trailer. Not only did we get a sneak preview of what's to come in the highly anticipated season, but we also got a chance to see the return of our fave characters, from Rhaenyra Targaryen (played by Emma D’Arcy) to Alicent Hightower (Olivia Cooke).
