Bring it on!! I loved season 1. How long can we expect to wait for season 2?
With a wrap on Season 1, our long watch begins until Season 2 comes around. Lots of war, dragonfire and backstabbing is around the corner, plus the debut of my personal favorite Targ in this era - Prince Daeron the Daring.
So here's the place for all discussion of what we hope to see in House of the Dragon: Season 2!
Unfortuantely it's probably Second Quarter of 2024 at the earliest. They don't start filming until early next year. Which is frustrating. I get needing to have space between filming but Year+ gaps between seasons isn't ideal, especially when working with young actors who are aging fast.
Thanks. I'm not the most clued up on TV schedules but was expecting that 2023 wouldn't be happening. 1 year gaps would be great. Good point on young actors aging fast. I will read the books in the meantime. Which books are needed for this series?
Well Aemond already looks like he's 30 on the show when he's supposed to be what, 18?
I suppose the youngest of the prominent kids on the show right now is Jacaerys and looking it up, the actor who plays him is 18 so I don't think there should be any jarring growth spurts for him. Ditto for Laena and Daemon's daughters. Joffrey Velaryon, Daemon and Rhaenyra's kids and Aegon and Helaena's kids are young enough and have barely been seen on the show anyway so a recast for them wouldn't be noticeable.
All of the events in the Dance are covered by Fire and Blood. The World of Ice and Fire has some additional context, but nothing vital. (It is just a cool book to have, though.)
Yeah, I can understand the need for cutting some characters from GOT just because of the sheer scope of the thing, as controversial as some of those decisions may be. The Greyjoys and Martells come to mind, not to mention Lady Stoneheart. But for HOTD which is essentially a novella stretched out over four seasons (as per GRRM) there's really no need to omit any character here.
I think we might still see Maelor next season. Fingers crossed!
Joffrey was already recast between episode 8 and this week.
Lol, coulda fooled me!Joffrey was already recast between episode 8 and this week.
Some people online said it very matter-of-fact that he was replaced. Now that I'm looking at the two scenes we have with him I'm really not sure though. Think it might just be that he had his hair styled differently and his eyes closed in the shot we have in this episode. Either way though, nobody will lose sleep if he gets recast.
I honestly can't even remember Joffrey being in episode 8 but I guess he was in the throne room scene.Some people online said it very matter-of-fact that he was replaced.

He was in the Dragonstone scene for a second.
As a fantasy book/show, GoT/HotD is very extreme with medieval battles and political intrigue ie basic on the crazy fantasy scale and then all the way to dragons. There’s not enough in between for my preference and things like direwolves in the background help with that for me.
Nice. Been waiting for casting to drop.
Forget about Alys, Simon Russell Beale is in this now!!!!! I cannot wait to see him in the world!
