House of The Dragon not likely to return before Summer 2024

Game of Thrones prequel House of The Dragon season 1 finished its run last year in December and received an overwhelmingly positive response from viewers and critics. Some have even labeled it as being better than the first season of Game of Thrones. The making of the first season took a lot of hard work, planning, patience, coordination between various departments, and a big budget. The series has already been renewed for a second season, and production will begin in Spain very early on in 2023.

However, there is actually little chance that the show will air in 2023 itself. According to HBO and HBO Max content CEO Casey Bloys, the show might make a return in 2024. He predicts that the show won’t be eligible for Emmy 2024, which ends its eligibility period on May 31, 2024. So it is highly likely that the show will premiere after that period, in summer.

Bloys told Variety, “My philosophy is a good script is number one priority. I am not doing it based on wanting to have one a year, two a year. I want to do it based on the scripts that we’re excited about.”

“Remember to get ‘House of the Dragon’ following up from ‘Game of Thrones,’ we developed a lot of shows, shot a pilot, developed a bunch of scripts and we got ‘House of the Dragon,’” Bloys noted. “To do that again is going to take the same amount of effort. You have to develop a lot of things, try things.”
