House of the Dragon Ending with Season 4

House of the Dragon showrunner Ryan Condal has confirmed there will be two more installments of the Game of Thrones prequel, which will end with Season 4.

In a press conference discussing the fallout from the Season 2 finale, Condal also gave an update on the progress of the third season. The writing process has already begun with the intention of doing prep in the fall. Production on Season 3 will then follow in “earlyish 2025.”

“There are so many great events that we are already writing in Season 3 as it is,” Condal said. “This war really comes to a big head at this point in the storytelling. I mean, if you look at Season 2, it’s largely a metaphor for a nuclear conflict… There’s gonna be giant moments of spectacle but real moments of surprise and character nuance that we’re very much looking forward to.”

He continued by suggesting that fans of the show read Fire and Blood so they can be “armed with lots of information going into Season 3.”

As our own Liz Shannon Miller wrote in her review of the final episode of Season 2, the series is just hitting its stride, as the stable of characters “feels like it’s finally come alive.”

All episodes of House of the Dragon are now streaming on Max.
