House of the Dragon is the story of the war that decimated millions of people and made dragons extinct. A war for the rightful heir to the Iron Throne. A war between step siblings, one of Valyrian descent and the other of Hightower Supremacy. It is the story of the war that was named as The Dance of the Dragons. Season 1 of the show was an overwhelming success for HBO as the series had gathered an average audience of 29 Million which was second to only Game of Thrones Season eight which had an average audience of 44-48 Million. Another unbreakable record that HOTD has is the record breaking pilot which earned the show a renewal for second season- 10 Million viewers. Most recently House of the Dragon won the much deserved Golden Globes Awards for Best Drama Series.
I’m sure at this year’s Emmys the show would be nominated in multiple categories and would emerge victorious as well. That being said, HBO is also looking to repeat and exceed the success of season one. For that the second season mustn’t take too long release. We’d already gotten the confirmation that the show won’t be delayed by the on going strikes as the scripts were complete before WGA strike began and most of the cast members are British so the SAG-AFTRA regulations don’t apply to them. Today we’ve gotten one of the biggest leaks for season two. The set photos confirm that we’re in for a big war.
House of the Dragon Season 2 Season Looks Epic!
Production on Season 2 of HBO’s House of the Dragon is close to completion and now, new set photos tease an epic war as filming comes to a close. Redanian Intelligence shared the new images on social media that showed a fiery scene being filmed in Bourne Woods, Surrey. The outlet reports, the team is trying to finish what was left to film for the Battle at Rook’s Rest for episode 4 of season two.
The report also mentions, the filming shown in these photos marks the end of location shoots for House of the Dragon Season 2. The series still has a little bit of filming left overall but is expected to be complete in about a month, so till October the filming will wrap. House of the Dragon is expected to return for its second season in 2024. Check out the new set photos below:
