House of the Dragon will begin filming season two as early as Spring of 2023, returning to the Spanish city of Cáceres!
As reported today by local Extremaduran newspaper Hoy, the old town of Cáceres will depict King’s Landing yet again in the second season of House of the Dragon, as it has for the first one and as it once did for the last few seasons of Game of Thrones.
HBO will return to Cáceres next spring, from March to June. Of course, that doesn’t mean they will be filming three straight months on the city; the production arrives weeks and sometimes months earlier to make the necessary preparations before any shooting actually takes place; filming is expected to take place around April and May. Nevertheess, three months is a significant production window, which probably means we’ll see a lot more of the streets of the capital next season.
In Game of Thrones, Cáceres was also used for Oldtown, which we could see next season, although it’s certainly not a must judging by the source material alone. It’s fair to assume Cáceres will mostly be used to give life to the Westerosi capital around which most of the House of the Dragon story takes place, even more than it did for Game of Thrones.
These news come just a few days after the announcement of the largest European Game of Thrones and A Song of Ice and Fire convention event, which will indeed take place on Cáceres, Spain: “Cáceres City of Dragons.” It’s pretty clear the city has decided to invest on HBO’s Game of Thrones propertry as much as HBO is investing on the city.
The broader interest piece of news here is, of course, that we can reasonable expect production for season two to kick off in early early Spring next year. Spain is rarely the first place they film at, with production usually starting on their UK headquarters. There has been doubt about how fast season two could come into production with no certainty of a season renewal until after the series premiere aired. The news of a departing showrunner didn’t help expectations.
It’s too early to say when we’ll actually get to see season two, as post-production is as huge and time-consuming as production for shows like these and HBO has matters of schedule to consider as well. Still, it’s nice to see House of the Dragon is moving into season two as soon as they can, considering the circumstances, even if we won’t probbly get to watch the next season until 2024. And, of course, when they arrive in Cáceres we’ll be here to provide you with every piece of news from filming that leaks out.
