Game Of Thrones spinoff House Of The Dragon Season 4 will be its final season. House Of The Dragon Season 2 recently concluded with its eighth and final episode on Monday, 5 August 2024.

It was confirmed by House Of The Dragon showrunner Ryan Condal (via Deadline).

He said:

“As a showrunner you are always in a position of having to balance storytelling and resources you have available to tell that story,” said Condal. “We are also starting to think about, what is the final destination of this series and where are we going? A combination of factors led to that re-balance. There is a tremendous amount of resources, construction, armor, costumes and visual affects needed to give the Gullet, which is arguably the second most anticipated action even to Fire and Blood, the time and the space it deserved.

We are building to that event. It will happen very shortly in terms of storytelling. It will be the biggest thing to date we have pulled off. We want to have the time and space to do that at a level that will excite the fans.”

He also confirmed that House Of The Dragon Season 3 will begin production in early 2025.

Condal added:

“There are so many great events that we are already writing in season 3 as it is. This war really comes to a big head at this point in the storytelling. I mean, if you look at season 2, it’s largely a metaphor for a nuclear conflict … There’s gonna be giant moments of spectacle but real moments of surprise and character nuance that we’re very much looking forward to. Some of my favorite moments of in the book, as a reader, I’m excited to adapt as a dramatist.

I invite anybody to take the off season to purchase and read Fire and Blood so you can be armed lots of information going into season 3. It’s a very tricky position in my seat, Sara Hess and I are custodians of this world. We have to render an exciting TV adaptation of this story, knowing there will be a percentage of the gigantic TV audience that has not read the book. We are constantly trying to serve both worlds.”
