HBO has announced that production has begun on the second season of the “Game of Thrones” prequel series “House of the Dragon” at Leavesden Studios in the United Kingdom.
Based on George R.R. Martin’s “Fire & Blood,” the series chronicles the rise and the downfall of the Targaryens – the only family of dragonlords to survive the Doom of Valyria.
Whilst the show’s first season involved various time jumps spanning quite a few years, the new season is expected to stick to the same period as the ‘Dance of Dragons’ gets underway.
A set photo has also been released, which features the Iron Throne being prepped for filming. In a statement from series showrunner and executive producer Ryan Condal, he says:
“House of the Dragon has returned. We are thrilled to be shooting again with members of our original family as well as new talents on both sides of the camera.
All your favorite characters will soon be conspiring at the council tables, marching with their armies and riding their dragons into battle. We can’t wait to share what we have in store.”
The first season cast included Paddy Considine, Matt Smith, Olivia Cooke, Emma D’Arcy, Rhys Ifans, Steve Toussaint, Eve Best, Sonoya Mizuno, Milly Alcock, Emily Carey, Graham McTavish, Ryan Corr, Jefferson Hall, David Horovitch, Matthew Needham, Bill Patterson, Gavin Spokes, Wil Johnson, John Macmillan, Savannah Steyn, and Theo Nate.
It's time to return to King's Landing.
