'House of the Dragon' Season 2 Set for August 2024 Release

The HBO series reduces episode count for season 2 and begins planning for season 3.

Season 2 of 'House of the Dragon' is set to release in August 2024, two years after the first season aired.
The second season will focus primarily on the Targaryen civil war, with the storyline for season 3 already being planned.
The number of episodes for season 2 has been reduced from 10 to 8, a decision driven by the story and not cost concerns.
Season 2 will see the return of a star-studded cast, including Matt Smith as Prince Daemon Targaryen, Olivia Cooke as Dowager Queen Alicent Hightower, and Emma D'Arcy as Queen Rhaenyra Targaryen.
The series is expected to last for four seasons to fully cover the 'Dance of the Dragons' storyline from George R.R. Martin's book.
