Last November, fans of Game Of Thrones were delighted to learn that the new season of its spin-off House of the Dragon would be broadcast “early summer 2024”. JB Perrette, head of the streaming arm of Warner Bros. Discovery, was a little more precise during a group conference relayed by Varietythis Monday, mentioning a program “in June”.

The series derived from the books by George RR Martin and focusing on the Targaryen dynasty approximately 200 years before the action of GoT will therefore return very soon to HBO, and subsequently to Prime Video via the platform's Warner Pass in France.

The first season of The House of the Dragon was a hit on HBO from August 21 to October 23, 2022, receiving positive reviews And breaking audience records every evening programming a new episode. Its season 2 was made official as soon as it was broadcast, with the same team. Its filming was not impacted by the writers' and actors' strike, since its script, supervised by Ryan J. Condal, had been fully completed when shooting began. Which explains its rapid diffusion.
