House of The Dragon currently filming scenes involving dragons at Leavesden Studios

The first season of House of the Dragon has left fans wanting more, and the show had been renewed for a second chapter even before the season finale aired. It might be some time for the second season to finally be here, as it takes a lot of hard work, planning, patience, coordination between various departments, and a big budget. The filming for the second season has already begun, and it seems like we will have some dragon action in the first episode itself.
