“House of the Dragon” has started making season 2 of the show again, months after season 1 ended.
At Leavesden Studios in the United Kingdom, work has started back up on the predecessor to HBO’s hit fantasy show Game of Thrones.
In a statement, director Ryan Condal said, “House of the Dragon is back.”
“We are thrilled to be working again with members of our original family as well as new talent on both sides of the camera. Soon, all of your favorite characters will be plotting at the council tables, marching with their troops, and riding their dragons into battle. We can’t wait to tell you what’s coming.”
That “new talent” is the addition of Emmy-winning director Alan Taylor as an executive producer. Taylor’s work on Game of Thrones was a big part of setting the tone for the show’s direction.
Taylor joined the House of the Dragon after Miguel Sapochnik, the co-showrunner and director of the first season, quit. Taylor recently made the pilot for AMC’s popular Interview with the Vampire series.
Even though there is no set date for the second season, it is possible that the show will come back in 2024.
The show is based on George R.R. Martin’s book Fire & Blood. It takes place 200 years before the events of Game of Thrones and tells the story of House Targaryen.
