The executive producer confirmed the length of the fantasy series’ run during a call with reporters to discuss the events of the Season 2 finale, which aired Sunday.
HBO has not yet officially renewed the Game of Thrones prequel for Season 4, nor announced a premiere date for House of the Dragon ‘s third season. During the call, Condal confirmed that the show will go start pre-production on Season 3 in fall 2024, with production beginning in earnest in “early-ish 2025.”
While Season 1 of Dragon consisted of 10 episodes, Season 2’s count dropped to eight. “I haven’t had discussions with HBO about it, I would just anticipate the cadence of the show, from dramatic storytelling perspective, will continue to be the same from Season 2 on,” Condal said.

Condal’s remarks also discussed how Episode 8 moved many pieces into place for some of the biggest fights detailed in George R.R. Martin’s book Fire & Ice , including the Greens’ attempt to break Corlys’ blockade, aka the Battle of the Gullet. But the 70-minute episode ended on footage of Alicent’s #TeamGreen and Rhaenyra’s #TeamBlack marching , riding and/or sailing to war.
