House of the Dragon Officially Ending With Season 4 at HBO
House of the Dragon will be ending with Season 4. We also know when Season 3 will begin production.
House of the Dragon will officially be ending with Season 4. HBO has also announced that Season 3 of HotD will begin production in "earlyish 2025," according to showrunner Ryan Condal.
Condal also hinted that Season 3 (and Season 3) of the show will also follow the format of Season 2 and consist of eight episodes, stating: "I haven't had discussions with HBO about it, I would just anticipate the cadence of the show, from dramatic storytelling perspective, will continue to be the same from Season 2 on."
The news of House of the Dragon ending was revealed during a press conference today, hours after the Season 2 Finale premiered on HBO and Max streaming. The sophomore season proved that House of the Dragon is one of the dominant TV shows in pop-culture right now – it's also proven the viability of HBO's Game of Thrones franchise as a larger universe of spinoff shows.
