House of the Dragon Has Already Been Renewed for Season 2

House of the Dragon has solely simply begun, however the Targaryen civil struggle has already been prolonged. HBO has introduced that the sequence, set about 200 years earlier than the occasions seen in Game of Thrones, will obtain a second season, presumably as a result of everybody and their mom (nicely, my mom, at the very least) watched final Sunday’s sequence premiere.

Seriously, 10 million individuals watched it on Sunday evening, and one other 10 million have watched it since then by way of HBO Max and on-demand, a bona fide smash hit by any trendy metric—and much more spectacular whenever you bear in mind how divisive the ultimate season of Game of Thrones was. But Daenerys’ rushed heel flip seemingly didn’t deter anyone from wanting to take a look at what these platinum blonde Targaryens have been as much as, which was primarily tearing Westeros aside in a combat for the Iron Throne between Rhaenyra, the king’s direct daughter and named inheritor, and Daemon, the king’s brother and closest male within the line of descent.

With just one episode down, this struggle hasn’t even actually begun but however is solely the way in which, and when it comes it will likely be right here for some time, apparently. Game of Thrones: Oops, All Targaryens!—er, House of the Dragon—airs Sundays on HBO Max.
