The second season of the "Game of Thrones" spinoff "House of the Dragon", will premiere in early summer 2024 on HBO, network chief Casey Bloys announced during a press event in New York on Thursday. 

At the media presentation, the first trailer for the second season screened exclusively for reporters, but details about the contents of the footage were kept under an embargo.

The fantasy drama series is based on author George RR Martin’s 2018 novel "Fire & Blood", set 200 years before the events of Game of Thrones.

It chronicles the beginning of the end of House Targaryen and the events leading up to the Targaryen civil war, known as the Dance of the Dragons.

Audiences have been eagerly awaiting any news on the upcoming season as the first season of episodes of the Game of Thrones prequel series was a major success.

House of the Dragon

The first season of House of the Dragon left several cliffhangers including the death of Princess Rhaenyra’s (Emma D’Arcy) son, Prince Lucerys (Elliot Grihault), and the reveal that Dragonstone has more budding dragons than we initially thought.

With Lucerys’ death, the Targaryen civil war known as the Dance of the Dragons has officially kicked off with Rhaenyra stepping forward to claim her rightful place on the Iron Throne.

Many favorites will be returning in the upcoming alongside some new-to-the-fold faces.

Emma D’Arcy, Matt Smith, Olivia Cooke, Ewan Mitchell, Eve Best, Sonoya Mizuno, Steve Toussaint, Fabien Frankel, Rhys Ifans, and Tom Glynn-Carney all are expected to reprise their leading roles.

It will also feature Bethany Antonia, Phoebe Campbell, Jefferson Hall, Matthew Needham, Phia Saban, and Harry Collett.

While Season 1 co-showrunner Miguel Sapochnick will not be returning for the second telling of House of the Dragon, he will serve as an executive producer alongside universe creator and author George R. R. Martin and Condal.

Jocelyn Diaz, Vince Gerardis, and Sara Hess will also be a part of the executive production team.
