Ahead of the premiere of House of the Dragon’s second season, HBO has confirmed that the Game of Thrones spinoff will be getting a third season. Naturally, there are no real details on what the new season will entail or when it will start airing on HBO or Max. We’ll need to get through season 2 for that kind of info.
House of the Dragon premiered in 2022 and is set 200 years before the original Game of Thrones series. It’s focused primarily on House Targaryen and stars the likes of Matt Smith and Emma D’Arcy. The second season kicks off on June 16th on both HBO and Max. It’s also not the only extension of Game of Thrones in the works: HBO has another spinoff called A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: the Hedge Knight in development, though it’s not clear when it will start airing.
If nothing else, it seems that prequels are all the rage right now for big franchises. Star Wars is currently in the midst of The Acolyte, set 100 years before The Phantom Menace, while another upcoming Max series, Dune: Prophecy, is set a whopping 10,000 years before the story of Paul Atreides.
