Matt Smith as Daemon Targaryen on dragonback in House of the Dragon Season 2
The Big Picture Max’s epic, dragon-fueled war, House of the Dragon, returns for Season 2 in June, but not without some caveats. Entertainment Weekly noted that the sophomore season will uncharacteristically contain a shorter episode count. The first season had a standard order of 10 episodes, while Season 2 will return with only eight. This turn of events is surprising for Max’s biggest series.
"It wasn't really our choice,” Hess acknowledged to Entertainment Weekly. Whoever’s choice it was, it seems baffling. Cutting down an already complex lineage isn’t likely to endear audiences to the series. Season 1 already had disappointing decisions that pulled back on integral characters. The birth father of Rhaenyra’s children, Harwin of House Strong , is essentially a periphery character until the episode of his death.
"We talked to the WGA and, ultimately, they understood that if we left the set, they were going to make it without us. I don't think the WGA loved it, but they were okay with us being there in a producing capacity,” Hess noted. Lines can get murky when writers are on a set during filming, but not in a writing capacity. Co-showrunner, Ryan Condal says, however, there was no conflict.
