HBO’s House of the Dragon Season 2 first big look is out! The series is based on George R. R. Martin’s Fire & Blood novel and focuses on House Targaryen taking place 200 years before Game of Thrones. The teaser trailer for the second season of the Game of Thrones spinoff teases a destructive war coming between Lady Alicent Hightower (Olivia Cooke) and Princess Rhaenrya Targaryen (Emma D’Arcy). The teaser trailer says, “There is no war so hateful to the gods as a war between kin.”
House of the Dragon Season 2 Official Teaser and Further Plans
“There are eight wonderful episodes with so much happening in every episode,” director Clare Kilner said when asked about what fans can expect in the second installment. “We have trouble, at times, bringing them down to one hour. (Showrunner) Ryan Condal’s decision was to give it a good opening and a good ending, and they’re jam-packed with emotional and visually exciting events.”
There are already words about House of the Dragon Season 3. Reportedly, showrunner Ryan Condal and series creator George R. R. Martin aren’t committed to how long the show will continue. They note that the pair “continue to go back-and-forth on the number of seasons.” The second season was reportedly trimmed from 10 episodes to 8 episodes, which was a “story-driven” decision.
“There are only so many minutes in an episode (more on HBO than on the network shows I once wrote for), and only so many episodes in a season. Fewer and fewer as time goes by, it seems,” Martin wrote in a blog post last October. “If House of the Dragon had 13 episodes per season, maybe we could have shown all the things we had to “time jump” over… though that would have risked having some viewers complain that the show was too ‘slow,’ that ‘nothing happened.’ As it is, I am thrilled that we still have 10 hours every season to tell our tale…I hope that will continue to be true.”
