The dragons will fly over Westeros next year! House of the Dragon Season 2 finally got an update as the series received an official release window. In addition to that, the other Game of Thrones spin-off shows are finally moving forward.
According to an announcement made by HBO network chief Casey Bloys during a press event in New York, House of the Dragon Season 2 is set to grace TV screens in the "early summer" of 2024 (via Variety). The news has sparked excitement among fans eager to delve back into George R.R. Martin's world of dragons, power, and intrigue.
Although an exclusive screening of the first trailer for the second season was held for reporters at the media presentation, specific details about the trailer's contents were kept under embargo, leaving fans in suspense about what to expect from the upcoming season. However, there are speculations that the teaser will be released online in the next few weeks.
House of the Dragon Season 2 has the distinction of being the one major series that was barely affected by the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes. This is due in part to the screenplays being completed before the strikes and the employment of actors who are not affiliated with SAG-AFTRA. Because of this, the show managed to continue production and is set to share new updates in the next few months.
In addition to the House of the Dragon Season 2 announcement, Casey Bloys also touched upon the highly-anticipated Game of Thrones spinoff A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: The Hedge Knight. He mentioned that production on the series is slated to commence next spring, pending the conclusion of the ongoing SAG-AFTRA strike, which has been a significant factor affecting the entertainment industry.

As fans eagerly await the return of House of the Dragon and the introduction of new stories within the Game of Thrones universe, these updates offer a glimpse into the exciting future of these beloved franchises.
