House of the Dragon Season 2 Probably Won’t Premiere Until 2024
And just like that, House of the Dragon Season 1 is over — but it’ll be quite a while before we get to find out what happens next in Westeros, as HBO and HBO Max chief content officer Casey Bloys confirmed that the series’ second season likely won’t arrive until 2024. House of the Dragon Season 1 has seemingly had all Game of Thrones fans and their mothers in a chokehold since premiering back in August. But, it takes quite a while to build a kingdom — let alone seven! — and showrunners don’t want to make a promise they can’t keep. “Don’t expect it in ’23, but I think sometime in ’24,” Bloys told Vulture. He went on: “We’re just starting to put the plan together, and just like last time, there are so many unknowns. It’s not to be coy or secretive, but you don’t want...
House of the Dragon Showrunner Confirms Time Jumps are “Done”
[Editor’s note: The following contains spoilers for House of the Dragon.] The Season 1 finale of House of the Dragon may have seen peace in Westeros go up in smoke, but the show itself seems to have finally found some chronological stability after its continuity was disrupted by several time jumps. Following Sunday’s season finale, showrunner Ryan Condal put any fears of further narrative leaps to rest, saying “they are done.” In an interview with Deadline, Condal reflected on the first season of HBO’s Game of Thrones prequel series and addressed fan concerns like the show’s recurring lighting issues. An even more encouraging acknowledgment came when he confirmed that the Targaryen’s chronologically uneven march to war — which has required different actors to portray key characters like Em...
‘House of the Dragon’ Showrunner Explains Why There Is Melanin In His Version of Westeros
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Ollie Upton / HBO Unlike Game of Thrones, there is a lot more melanin on screen in House of the Dragon, and there is a perfectly good reason for that. During a recent segment on TheGrill and interview series from TheWrap, House of the Dragon co-creator Ryan Condal revealed the decision to make a traditionally white character in the book Black was not done for progressive reasoning. “I think it was not that simple,” Condal said. “I think the reason that it’s been a successful choice … is because it was thought out. It wasn’t just done perfunctorily or wasn’t just done to tick a box or … to be seen as progressive.” But, in the same breath, Condal, who also serves as the showrunner for the GOT prequel series, seemingly contradicted his initial statement. “It...
HBO Defends House of the Dragon Lighting Amid Complaints It’s “Unwatchable”
HBO’s House of the Dragon might serve up some new context for the Game of Thrones universe, but the spinoff/prequel series is still getting fans riled up over one nagging issue: Terrible lighting. But after House of the Dragon Episode 7 prompted fan complaints over the weekend, HBO Max clarified that the ultra-dimmed lighting is an “intentional creative decision.” “I’m gonna need @hbomax to issue a written apology for literally a whole episode of black screen of #HouseOfTheDragon,” one viewer wrote yesterday (October 2nd). “This is ridiculous.” Many other fans echoed those complaints, saying the episode was “unwatchable” and that they could barely understand what was happening. The HBO Max Help Twitter account offered an explanation: “We appreciate you reaching out about a night scene...
