Notably, HBO's mega-hit 'House of the Dragon' just concluded its second season with a finale that kept fans on tenterhooks, wondering what's next. The second season, noted for its expanded scope and more thrilling elements than its predecessor, has been well received by viewers who are already buzzing about a forthcoming season. However, reports indicate that it may just end with its fourth season.
According to Variety, 'House of the Dragon', the successor series of *Game of Thrones*, is envisioned to end after its fourth season. Showrunner and co-creator Ryan Condal has confirmed it, adding that work on the third season has begun. The team is in the process of writing it, and the filming is expected to start early next year in 2025. It is still not clear whether the third season will follow the same format as the second one with eight episodes.
Variety quoted Condal as saying, "I haven't had discussions with HBO about it. I would just anticipate the cadence of the show, from a dramatic storytelling perspective, will continue to be the same from season two on.".
The second season of "House of the Dragon" picks up after King Viserys I's death and then charts the consequent struggle for the Iron Throne between his daughter Rhaenyra. Set 200 years before events in 'Game of Thrones', the series draws from parts of George R.R. Martin's 2018 book "Fire & Blood". It is about the tumultuous period popularly known as Dance of the Dragons that shook the Targaryen Empire. Its second season just hit the cinemas this June, with its finale happening last August 4.
