HBO’s ‘House of the Dragon‘ had people apprehensive initially because of the botched finale of its parent show ‘Game of Thrones.’ However, it defied all expectations and became a massive hit.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, on Tuesday, a screening of the series took place in FYC, Los Angeles. It was attended by the show co-creator Ryan Condal, George R.R. Martin, and the cast.
“You’re going to meet five new dragons,” Condal said. He said they would start filming “very shortly” this year. Martin talked about the comparison of the spin-off to its parent show. “The pressure of trying to follow the original series is nothing compared to the pressure of trying to finish the novel,” he said.

The Second Season Will Return In 2024
Recently, HBO Max’s content CEO Casey Bloys confirmed that the second season of the fantasy series will premiere sometime in 2024. He says that 2024 is a “good guess” while adding that it will not qualify to be nominated for next year’s Emmy.
This means that the series will hit television in the second half of 2024 as Emmy’s deadline is May 31st of every year. “My philosophy is a good script is number one priority,” Bloys said.
He further added: “I am not doing it based on wanting to have one a year, two a year. I want to do it based on the scripts that we’re excited about.” ‘House of the Dragon‘ has been one of the most viewed shows on HBO.
