HBO Original Drama Series “House of the Dragon” Begins Production on Season Two

Production has commenced on the second season of HBO Original drama series HOUSE OF THE DRAGON at Leavesden Studios in the United Kingdom.

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.

Ryan Condal, Co-Creator/Showrunner/Executive Producer, quote: “House of the Dragon has returned. We are thrilled to be shooting again with members of our original family as well as new talents on both sides of the camera. All your favorite characters will soon be conspiring at the council tables, marching with their armies, and riding their dragons into battle. We can’t wait to share what we have in store.”

In its first season of production, HOUSE OF THE DRAGON set up a successful on-set shadowing and mentorship program for production trainees. Now that filming is underway on season two, HOUSE OF THE DRAGON has once again opened its doors to WBD Access Directors Shadows, giving two emerging directors, B Welby, and Ebele Tate, the chance to hone their skills and learn from one of the finest crews in the industry.

	Overview The Targaryen dynasty is at the absolute apex of its power, with more than 15 dragons under their yoke. Most empires crumble from such heights. In the case of the Targaryens, their slow fall begins when King Viserys breaks with a century of tradition by naming his daughter Rhaenyra heir to the Iron Throne. But when Viserys later fathers a son, the court is shocked when Rhaenyra retains her status as his heir, and seeds of division sow friction across the realm.
