House of the Dragon is set 200 years before the events of Game of Thrones, and now, the prequel promises to match the original show’s claim to fame with massive action set pieces and battles. Of course, political intrigue and intense family drama will continue to play a role in the sophomore season, as House of the Dragon’s cast of characters has been split into the Black and Green factions, with season 2 prompting audiences to choose their team.

HOTD Season 2 Has A Reduced Episode Count But With Some Longer Episodes
Image via HBOCompared to House of the Dragon season 1 and the typical Game of Thrones season length, season 2 is shortened to eight episodes. Showrunner Ryan Condal decided the reduced episode count would be beneficial to the story’s pacing, which makes sense given the nature of the source material. The book Fire & Blood is a “fictional history” text, with much of the narrative being condensed with a focus on major events, leaving House of the Dragon’s writers to interpret and develop individual character arcs accordingly.
