Probably a surprise to no one, but still welcome news- House of the Dragon has officially been renewed by HBO for a second season! The Game of Thrones spinoff premiered to massive ratings last Sunday, the largest audience for any new original series in HBO history. The series premiere broke European records as well. According to the network, the first episode “The Heirs of the Dragon” has now been seen by over 20 million viewers.
HBO executive VP Francesca Orsi says of the renewal, “We are beyond proud of what the entire HOUSE OF THE DRAGON team has accomplished with season one. Our phenomenal cast and crew undertook a massive challenge and exceeded all expectations, delivering a show that has already established itself as must-see-TV. A huge thank you to George, Ryan, and Miguel for leading us on this journey. We couldn’t be more excited to continue bringing to life the epic saga of House Targaryen with season two.”
I think we all knew the season 2 renewal was coming shortly, but it’s still great to see it happen, and so quickly. With HBOMax chopping so many shows after the Discovery merger and making some weird decisions, it’s good to see a calm path forward for House of the Dragon.
