House Of The Dragon Set For Second Season Renewal

The Dance Of The Dragons is coming, as Sky announce House Of The Dragon set for Season Two!

Following the successful launch of episode 1, it has been confirmed that the Game Of Thrones will be returning for a second season.

The series available exclusively on Sky and NOW in the UK has received strong critical acclaim and multiple 5* reviews, being dubbed ‘Bigger, bolder and bloodier than Game of Thrones’ (The Independent) and ‘visually sumptuous’ (The Times). Based on George R.R. Martin’s “Fire & Blood,” the series, set 200 years before the events of Game of Thrones, tells the story of House Targaryen.

Zai Bennett, MD of Content at Sky said: “House of the Dragon is already proving to be a ratings hit, and we predict it will go from strength to strength due to the captivating storytelling and incredible production values. We look forward to sharing a second series with our customers on Sky and NOW.”

I think we can clearly say from the reviews and buzz from the first episode, GOT fans have now got something to look forward too. In the U.S the first episode  had 10 million viewers watching it on HBO Max, of course most critics enjoyed it too.

The follow up season will take its name from the poets of Westeros. A macabre civil war that brought the thriving empire to its knees. The reigning king King Viserys I Targaryen (Paddy Considine), names his daughter. Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen, as his sole heir to the Iron Throne, over his brother, Prince Daemon (Matt Smith). But when Viserys gives  a son, Aegon II (Tom Glynn-Carney), in the years leading up to the war, the House is split over the matter of succession.

House Of Dragon is available now on SKY Atlantic and NOW.
