HBO Announces Major 'House Of The Dragon' Season 2 Release News

"House of the Dragon" fans have a pretty clear picture of when the show will return.

Season one of the hit HBO "Game of Thrones" prequel series about House Targaryen ended in October 2022, and it was clear war was imminent between Princess Rhaenyra and Daemon's faction and the faction run by the Hightowers and Aemond Targaryen.

The stakes couldn't be any higher, and fans have been craving any information about season two. Now, HBO has indicated when it will arrive.

"House of the Dragon" season two expected to premiere in June.

Warner Bros. Discovery streaming and gaming chief J.B. Perrette announced Monday that season two will arrive at some point in June, according to Variety.

Perrette didn't name a specific day in June, but the show will air on Sundays. That means potential premiere dates can be narrowed down to the 2nd, 9th, 16th, 23rd or 30th for the season two premiere of "House of the Dragon."

While June might feel like it's not in the near future, it's really not that far away. It's already early March. June will be here before we know it.

Is waiting fun? No, but waiting until June isn't anything major for "House of the Dragon" and "Game of Thrones" fans.

More than anything, fans just want a new season that is every bit as epic and fun as the first one. "House of the Dragon" was a massive hit that took the entertainment world by storm.

The viewership data was insane for season one. All episodes averaged right around 30 million viewers. That's incredibly impressive, and it's a testament to the show's baked-in audience and impressive production value. Every episode felt like a movie just like "GoT" at its best.
