House of the Dragon Season 2 seemingly renewed at HBO

The much anticipated prequel to HBO’s Game of Thrones, the biggest hit series of the last decade is finally premiering on August 21, 2022 after wrapping filming earlier this year. With all the post-production work still to be conducted until August, it doesn’t mean writing work for Season 2 can’t already begin. In fact, that’s exactly how Game of Thrones would operate. Each next season was already being written before the current one was released.

We’ve been told by our sources that writing for House of the Dragon Season 2 has indeed begun, which suggests HBO has already quietly renewed the new series, albeit without an announcement at this time. The official announcement of the renewal should normally come closer to either the Season 1 premiere or the finale, as networks usually do.

In case you missed it, here’s the newest teaser trailer for House of the Dragon starring Matt Smith, Olivia Cooke, Emma D’Arcy and more:

Just in February, HBO programming chief Casey Bloys suggested in an interview with THR that there was a good chance House of the Dragon would get a Season 2:

“Typically speaking, I like to take an approach where we will talk about what a second season might look like and talk about scripts. But we tend to like to see how a show performs. That said, if I were betting, I’d say there’s a pretty good shot that House of the Dragon will get a season two. But we tend to like things to air and give it some time. That said, on most shows, we’ll do preparation and put ourselves in a good position to move forward.”

Whichever way it went down between executives behind the scenes of HBO, it’s good to know that House of the Dragon Season 2 was approved. That said, no series is ever bulletproof from a sudden cancellation. If come August House of the Dragon performs terribly and HBO deems it a disaster, it obviously can be cancelled even with scripts written and ready. But judging by the way things look, this probably won’t be the case and everything will be fine.

We cannot wait for August 21 to return to Westeros once again after all these years. If you like The Witcher too, we invite you to read or main category where we closely follow the production of Season 3 and the other spinoffs.

An unexpected character is returning to The Witcher Season 2

Image
It’s been a busy week for Netflix’s The Witcher . We reported about a curious action scene being filmed at Kaer Morhen involving Henry Cavill’s Geralt, Freya Allan’s Ciri along with many new witchers and we followed that up with a report about a number of female characters involved in that storyline as well. Today we have something that surprised us a fair bit. Redanian Intelligence has learned that Danica , played by Imogen Daines , will return to the second season of The Witcher and will appear in one of its first episodes directed by Stephen Surjik. To remind you, Danica is the sex worker who Geralt is with in the beginning of the third episode of the first season and she’s examining the monster slayer’s scars. Imogen Daines as Danica with Henry Cavill as Geralt in The Witcher S01E03 The return of such a minor character is quite unexpected and it’s unclear how Danica would fit in any of the storylines of Season 2. To put the timeline into context, the scene we saw in the ser...

Henry Cavill Injury Doesn't Affect Production

Image
By now you've likely heard that Henry Cavill has injured himself during a shoot for The WItcher. United Kingdom media giant The Sun , reported the news first on Cavill's injury. A source close to the show had this to say regarding the injury, "He just suddenly pulled up and was clearly in a lot of pain. It wasn’t clear if an object had hit his leg or it was some sort of hamstring or muscle injury." This took place while Henry was suspended 20 feet in the air for a major scene. While the title of The Sun's article alludes to the production schedule going into chaos, Deadline.com has now also shared the news but notes that any impact to production is not heavily felt due to the coming holiday shut down. It would seem if Cavill had to sustain any injury, this is a perfect time for the show to absorb it. What do you think of the injury news? Let us know in the comments below or in our forum !

The Witcher Season 3 to enter production in early 2022

Image
Everyone is eagerly waiting for The Witcher Season 2 on December 17, but the work on the next season doesn’t stay still and the scripts are being written as we speak. If you recall, Season 3 of The Witcher will have a number of new writers who started their work this July. We were wondering when filming for the next season would begin and now we have a window. Thanks to the newest listing on Production Weekly, we now know that Season 3 of The Witcher is planned to enter production in the first quarter of 2022 . But bear in mind that production schedules are never solid and are always subject to change, especially in a post-covid world. Nevertheless, at least now we approximately know the production window and when Netflix wants to get things underway. Contact info blacked out for privacy reasons . Also disregard the locations and directors. That is old info. Season 3 will also have a significant change: instead of Arborfield Studios, production will move to Longcross Studios, w...
