Will There Be House of the Dragon Season 3?
A few days before House of the Dragon Season 2 premiered, Variety revealed that the Game of Thrones spin-off was already renewed for Season 3.
This is exciting for fans because it means there will be more House of the Dragon, indicating that HBO is confident in Season 2's quality.
Variety also reported that Francesca Orsi, Programming and Drama Series Chief at HBO, called Season 2 of House of the Dragon "phenomenal" and "spectacular:"
"George, Ryan, and the rest of our incredible executive producers, cast, and crew, have reached new heights with the phenomenal second season ... 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."
It is currently unclear when the team expects Season 3 to be ready to air, but it is likely that as Season 2 continues (and after it ends), more information could be made public.
Season 2, Episode 2 of House of the Dragon hits Max and HBO on Sunday, June 23 at 9 p.m. ET (6 p.m. PT).
