With one Hollywood strike resolved and one more still to end, HBO on Thursday offered a few timetable updates for its slate of new and returning shows.

House of the Dragon, which has continued production on Season 2 amid the SAG-AFTRA strike, is eyeing an early Summer 2024 return, according to network CEO and chairman Casey Bloys. The Game of Thrones prequel began shooting its sophomore season in April; it will span eight episodes, down from the 10 installments of Season 1.

But before House of the Dragon returns next summer, several other HBO and Max series are slated for returns in the first half of 2024, including Curb Your Enthusiasm (which has a return month of February for Season 12), Hacks (Season 3), The Sex Lives of College Girls (Season 3), Tokyo Vice (Season 2), Pretty Little Liars: Summer School (Season 2) and My Brilliant Friend (returning for its fourth and final season sometime in the spring).

Among new series, the Kate Winslet-led political drama The Regime will debut in Spring 2024, while Max’s long-gestating Dune: Prophecy prequel series is slated for a Fall 2024 start. Also due out next year are the espionage comedy The Sympathizer and the superhero movie-making spoof The Franchise.

You may have noticed, though, that some of HBO’s buzziest titles aren’t on the 2024 calendar at all. Indeed, Bloys also confirmed on Thursday that The White Lotus‘ third season won’t arrive until 2025, as will Season 3 of teen drama Euphoria (the delay of which had previously been hinted at earlier this year). Also bumped to 2025 is Max’s It prequel series Welcome to Derry. (Read more about HBO’s 2025 plan.)

The Last of Us, meanwhile, has the vaguest timetable of all: Production on Season 2 is now expected to start in early 2024, giving it a 2025-at-soonest return date.
