Dragons on the horizon, rolling heads and questionable love relationships – with the prequel series “House Of The Dragon” “Game Of Thrones” fans got exactly what they were missing after the end of the successful HBO series in 2019. And now everyone is waiting for season 2, which of course has long been confirmed.
HBO boss Casey Bloys indicated shortly after the finale of the first season that the second season of “House Of The Dragon” would not come until 2024. In an interview with he has confirmed his statements from then and also made them more concrete. He has pointed out that the second season may not qualify for the 2024 Emmys because it will air late. Who knows, the deadline for qualification will expire on May 31, 2024, so you can also limit the broadcast date.
therefore guessed in the interview that the second season of “House Of The Dragon” could be released in summer 2024 and Bloys agreed with “that’s a good guess”.. So it all looks like we’ll have to wait more than a year for new stories to come out of Westeros, but at least that won’t be until the end of 2024.
What’s next for other Game Of Thrones spin-offs?
As previously reported, HBO has other GoT irons in the fire besides House Of The Dragon. Numerous spin-offs were/are in development. Screenplays were written and some pilots were even shot! So far, only the “Game Of Thrones” prequel has hit the screens. And according to Bloys, all this has its justification and will continue to be used in this way. So HBO does not aim for a fixed number of spin-offs, but only develops the ideas and scripts that are really good.
Of course, Bloys was also asked about the possible Jon Snow spin-off starring Kit Harington, which many fans would be thrilled about. But here too there is no real news. The development of the series is still ongoing, but he cannot say anything concrete about it yet, says Bloys.
