The second season of ‘Game of Thrones’ spin-off  ‘House of the Dragon’ will premiere on HBO in ”early summer” of 2024.

HBO chief Casey Bloys shared the news during a New York press event where the sophomore chapter’s first trailer was also showcased, entertainment news outlet Variety said, according to a PTI report from Los Angeles.

‘House of the Dragon’ (HoD), which premiered on HBO in August 2022, is based on George R R Martin’s book ‘Fire & Blood’, a history of House Targaryen set 300 years before the events described in ‘Game of Thrones’, which ended its eight-season run in 2019.

The news outlet reported that season two began filming at Warner Bros.’ Leavesden Studios April 11 and was unaffected by the Writers Guild of America (WGA) strike, which began May 2 and lasted until September 27, as well as the ongoing actors strike by the SAG-AFTRA.

At the event, Bloys also revealed that the second season of another hit show, ‘The Last of Us’, will commence production in early 2024. Starring Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey, the show is based on the popular video game of the same title. The HBO chief revealed that the dual strikes by the WGA and the Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA) strikes had delayed production.

According to the PTI report, which is based on a Variety article, Bloys provided an update about Zendaya-starrer ‘Euphoria’ as well. The Sam Levinson-created show’s third season is expected to debut in 2025.

‘Euphoria’ stars Zendaya, Hunter Schafer, Sydney Sweeney, Maude Apatow, Alexa Demie, Jacob Elordi, Angus Cloud, Barbie Ferreira and Dominic Fike as troubled high schoolers caught up in a world of drugs, love and crime.

Season one of ‘Euphoria’ premiered in June 2019, followed by its second season which came out in January 2022.
