HBO has given more information on the release date of season 2 of the Game of Thrones prequel. A little more patience for the fans!
Good news for fans of House of the Dragon. Season 2 of the spin-off Game Of Thrones, huge critical and popular success of 2022, should arrive within a few months. Production has apparently not been impacted by the writers’ and actors’ strikes that have hit Hollywood since last May since Casey Bloys, the director of HBOannounced that the series would be released in 2024 as originally planned.
During a press event organized in New York this Thursday, November 2 and which Variety relayed, Casey Bloys clarified that season 2 of House of the Dragon would be released on screens at the beginning of summer 2024. First images were thus revealed, but these unfortunately remained confidential.
Furthermore, we learned that the continuation of House of the Dragonwhich adapts the novel Fire and blood by George RR Martin, would consist of 8 episodes, and not ten like the first season.
New actors in the casting
Furthermore, new actors are joining the cast: this is the case of Simon Russell Beale (Stalin’s death), who will play Ser Simon Strong, Lors Larys’ great-uncle. Freddie Fox (Slow Horses) will be Ser Gwayne Hightower, Alicent’s brother, while Gayle Rankin (Glow, Perry Mason) will play the mysterious Alys Rivers. Finally, Abubakar Salim (Raised by Wolves) was cast as a sailor in the Velaryon fleet, Alyn of Hull.
Where to see season 2 in France?
For the moment, we do not know precisely where season 2 of House of the Dragon In France. Season 1 was available on OCS (and accessible via MyCanal) in US+24. But, since then, Prime Video has acquired the broadcasting rights to HBO series, accessible by subscribing to the Warner pass.
Between now and the release of House of the Dragon season 2, the Max streaming platform should arrive in France. It was in fact announced for the summer of 2024. However, it is not impossible that House of the Dragon be broadcast both on this new streaming platform (as is already the case in the United States) and on Prime Video via the Warner pass, since the agreement between Amazon and Warner Bros Discovery must last until the end of the year 2024 according to Variety. For the moment, no broadcast announcement in France has been made for House of the Dragon.
