HBO's 'House of the Dragon' Season 2 To Premiere in June 2024

House of the Dragon is returning to screens for its second season in June 2024.

Variety reports that the news was announced by Warner Bros. Discovery streaming and gaming chief J.B. Perrette during an interview at Morgan Stanley’s Technology, Media and Telecom on Monday, March 4. A specified HBO premiere date was not revealed, however.

The upcoming season of the Game of Thrones spinoff will pickup where season one left off, with showrunner Ryan Condal stating, “Now we get to fall into the more traditional rhythms of storytelling and Game of Thrones. We’ve always talked about this particular tale, George [R.R. Martin] has too, of being a Shakespearean or Greek tragedy."

He added, "This series is very much about a house tearing itself apart from within. Now that all those pieces have been set on the board, I’m really excited to tell the next chapter, to see what happens now that Viserys is gone and no longer keeping a lid on things.”

Returning to the show are season one's Matt Smith, Olivia Cooke, Emma D’Arcy, Eve Best, Steve Toussaint, Fabien Frankel, Ewan Mitchell, Tom Glynn-Carney, Sonoya Mizuno, Rhys Ifans, Harry Collett, Bethany Antonia, Phoebe Campbell, Phia Saban, Jefferson Hall and Matthew Needham, while Abubakar Salim, Gayle Rankin, Freddie Fox and Simon Russell Beale are set to join the cast.
