House of the Dragon has been renewed for season 2. This spin-off of the popular HBO series Game of Thrones premiered on August 21, 2022, and less than a week after its series premiere, fans have been treated to the news that we’ll be getting another return to Westeros after the ten-episode first season finishes. This leaves fans wondering if the new season has begun filming.
Has House of the Dragon season 2 started filming?
As the announcement of season 2 is very new, there are no reports that have stated House of the Dragon season 2 has begun filming. There are no confirmations yet as to which actors will be returning and if anyone will be joining the cast of this thrilling fantasy drama series. However, the possibilities for season 2 are very promising.
House of the Dragon is a prequel series set 200 years before the events of Game of Thrones, following the beginning of the end of the House Targaryen. The main characters in the series are the ancestors of Daenerys Targaryen, and it is entirely possible for the next season to feature other ancestors of Game of Thrones characters. For example, season 2 could delve into the lineage of the Stark and Lannister families.
The news of House of the Dragon season 2 comes after the series premiere earned record-breaking ratings for HBO, raking in nearly 10 million viewers across linear and HBO Max platforms in the United States. This is the largest series premiere in HBO history, earning over four times more viewers than the Game of Thrones pilot in 2011. With the success of this premiere, it is no wonder why showrunners Ryan Condal and Miguel Sapochnik are gearing up for more of the Dance of the Dragons.
