HBO chief Casey Bloys has announced (via Variety) that House Of The Dragon Season 2 will premiere in summer 2024.

Based on author George R.R. Martin’s Game Of Thrones spinoff book Fire & Blood, House Of The Dragon follows the Targaryen dynasty in the fictional continent of Westeros. It takes place nearly 200 years before the events of “Game Of Thrones” and about 100 years after the Targaryens united the Seven Kingdoms.

The 10-episode first season of House Of The Dragon aired from August to October 2022. House Of The Dragon Season 2 began filming at Warner Bros.’ Leavesden Studios in April 2023. Filming was unaffected by ongoing strikes throughout 2023 because scripts were completed before filming began and the actors are under contract with UK guild Equity, not SAG-AFTRA, for the production.

The second season of the “Game of Thrones” prequel stars Matt Smith, Olivia Cooke, Emma D’Arcy, Eve Best, Steve Toussaint, Fabien Frankel, Ewan Mitchell, Tom Glynn-Carney, Sonoya Mizuno and Rhys Ifans. Additional returning Season 1 cast members include Harry Collett, Bethany Antonia, Phoebe Campbell, Phia Saban, Jefferson Hall and Matthew Needham.

Newly announced actors joining “House of the Dragon” for Season 2 are Gayle Rankin as Alys Rivers, Simon Russell Beale as Ser Simon Strong, Freddie Fox as Ser Gwayne Hightower and Abubakar Salim as Alyn of Hull.
