The cuts reach Westeros: HBO Max confirms that season 2 of ‘The House of the Dragon’ will have only 8 chapters and continues to study whether to give the green light to the third.
The movements with the set-up of Warner Bros. Discovery have begun to be noticed in the very pillar of streaming: ‘The House of the Dragon’ will have a shorter season 2 while HBO Max studies whether to confirm the third.
As reported Deadline, the second season of ‘The House of the Dragon’, the prequel to ‘Game of Thrones’ will have only eight episodes, two less than the usual ten. This cut, which HBO points out as a merely creative choice, could be due to the internal restructuring of the company, willing that the cuts be noticed even in its essential titles.
On the other hand, Season 3 still hasn’t been greenlit, something fans shouldn’t be worried about., but what could change in the coming weeks are the global plans for the series, which, from the beginning, was planned as a production of three or four seasons. Although the initial success made us predict that we would end up seeing the entire plot in four installments, these unexpected reductions begin to bring us closer to the trilogy.
“I’m delighted that we continue to have 10 hours each season to tell our story,” George RR Martin, co-creator of the series with Ryan Condal, said at the time. “I hope it stays that way. It’s going to take four full seasons of 10 episodes each to do A Dance with Dragons justice from start to finish.“Well, neither one nor the other, Martin.
Based on ‘Fire and Blood’ by George RR Martin, ‘The House of the Dragon’ is set 200 years before the events narrated in the title that rose as one of the best HBO Max series. With King Viserys Targaryen (Paddy Considine) on the throne, his family is the focus of this new tale. Chosen by the lords of Westeros to succeed old King Jaehaerys, he is a warm, kind, and decent man who only wants to carry on his grandfather’s legacy. But good men are not necessarily great kings, and if there is an open war for power, position on the throne, and dragons, things get even more complicated.
Analyzing the end of the season of ‘The House of the Dragon’, and taking into account the future of Rhaenyra in ‘The House of the Dragon’ according to the books, we are clear that the winged creatures have a lot of streaming left to destroy. And if not, remember that Jon Snow’s spin-off of ‘Game of Thrones’ is already in production and that, at least for now, the Tales of Dunk and Egg series is advancing. We have Westeros for a while…
