Per The Hollywood Reporter, House of the Dragon showrunner Ryan Condal has confirmed there will be two more installments of the ‘Game of Thrones’ prequel series, which will end with Season 4.
During a press conference discussing the Season 2 finale of “House of the Dragon,” Condal also gave an update on the progress of the third season, sharing that the writing process has already begun with the intention of doing prep in the fall. Production on Season 3 will then follow in “earlyish 2025.” Said Condal: “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.” Condal also suggested that fans of the show read ‘Fire and Blood’ so they can be “armed with lots of information going into Season 3.”
Author George R.R. Martin, who is co-creator on “House of the Dragon,” has previously stated on his personal blog that he believes it would take four seasons of 10 episodes each to tell the show’s “Dance of the Dragons” story from his “Fire & Blood” book. But HBO had not confirmed how many seasons “House of the Dragon” would be, until now.
All episodes of House of the Dragon are currently streaming on Max.
