The production for Game of Thrones prequel House of the Dragon is in full swing. We have already seen pictures of new sets being erected at Leavesden Studios in the UK, with filming currently going on as we speak. Once the filming at Leavesden is complete, the production will move to the Spanish cities Cáceres and Trujillo, which feature iconic locations that were used in both Game of Thrones and House of The Dragon season 1.

The city council of both the Spanish cities is already flowing Targaryen flags to welcome the cast and crew of House of The Dragon. According to the Twitter account House the Dragons, filming in Cáceres and Trujillo will start on May 18th and should last about a week. Local newspapers have also reported that HBO has already booked 100 hotel rooms for the team.

When will House of The Dragon return?

The filming of House of The Dragon season 2 has just begun production, with the casting process almost complete and the sets being constructed at key locations. HBO chief Casey Bloys has confirmed in an indirect way that House of The Dragon won’t be coming back before the summer of 2024.

How many episodes will House of The Dragon Season 2 have?

The second season of House of The Dragon will reportedly be shorter than the previous one. According to a report by Deadline, the Game of Thrones prequel will have an 8-episode long Season 2, 2 episodes shorter than Season 1. An HBO spokesperson confirmed that the reason behind the shorter season was not because of a lack of budget, but rather a story-driven choice.
