HBO has given the green light for a third season of ‘House of the Dragon’ ahead of the premiere of its second season. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the network has ordered another installment of the Game of Thrones prequel series, without specifying the number of episodes.
Francesca Orsi, Executive Vice President of HBO Programming, praised co-creators George R.R. Martin and Ryan Condal while announcing the renewal. “George, Ryan, and the rest of our incredible executive producers, cast, and crew, have reached new heights with the phenomenal second season of House of the Dragon,” she said. “We are in awe of the dragon-sized effort the entire team has put into the creation of a spectacular season two, with a scope and scale that is only rivaled by its heart. We could not be more thrilled to continue the story of House Targaryen and watch this team burn bright again for season three.”
Based on George R.R. Martin’s book “Fire & Blood” from the “Game of Thrones” universe, “House of the Dragon” explores the history of the Targaryen dynasty on the fictional continent of Westeros. It is set nearly 200 years before the events of “Game of Thrones” and approximately 100 years after the Targaryens unified the Seven Kingdoms.
