We now have two people with authority who wants to see House of the Dragon last longer than four seasons. After George R.R. Martin made it known that it would take at least four full seasons to properly adapt his book, Fire & Blood, to the small screen, an HBO executive has stepped forward to pretty much say the same thing.
Francesca Orsi, HBO's head of drama, recently hinted to Deadline that House of the Dragon could go on for a fourth season if not beyond.
The Game of Thrones prequel, which chronicles part of the expansive history of Westeros under Targaryen rule, has become a fan favorite in just its first season. The show survived the departure of Miguel Sapochnik, the executive producer, director, and co-showrunner, albeit maybe it was for the better due to the rumored circumstances behind his departure.
To date, Ryan Condal remains the sole showrunner of House of the Dragon with Season 2 currently in production.
