Fans of House of the Dragon were left wanting more after watching the first season, and the program was renewed for a second season before the season finale ever aired. The second season may take some time to release because it requires a lot of effort, patience, forethought, departmental collaboration, and funding. Recently, some important information regarding the screenplay for Season 1 was made public.
