After performing extraordinarily well with both Game of Thrones fans and new viewers, HBO’s House of the Dragon comes back for a 2nd season, restoring the respect its predecessor lost with its questionable final run.

The prequel series, which is based on George R.R. Martin’s Fire and Blood, recounts life in House Targaryen 172 years before Daenerys Targaryen was born and the Mad King passed away. The Dance of the Dragons, the Targaryen civil war was the focus of Season 1’s main storyline. Fans are now wondering when will season 2 be released. Here’s everything you need to know about House of the Dragon season 2.

House of the Dragon Season 2 Potential Release Date

It’s much too soon to make an official judgement. It is probable that we’ll have to wait until 2024 for the release of the 2nd season if we use the production schedule for season 1 as a guide (reports indicate that filming started in April 2021 and premiered in August 2022).
