House of the Dragon recently concluded Season 1 and it did not disappoint. The season finale was gripping and is setting up the show for an epic second season. We will be delving into some of the season finale's plot elements, so be warned that there may be some spoilers.
HBO Max and series creators George R. R. Martin and Ryan Condal have already planned the next season. Condal stated in an interview with Variety that he will not be taking a break as "we're essentially constantly in production in some way, shape, or form."
He adds that "because of the incredibly demanding production schedule of the show, facets of the show have to overlap with one another, which means that we were writing Season 2 long before they ever announced it, while we were in post in Season 1. So, we really have to storm right into the making of Season 2 now in order to keep pace with our fans' healthy appetites for material and HBO's need and desire to release the show in a reasonable timeframe from season to season."
