House of the Dragon Showrunner Ryan Condal confirms five new dragons in Season 2

House of the Dragon showrunner Ryan Condal has confirmed that five new dragons will be introduced in the upcoming season of the popular HBO fantasy series, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The decision to include new fire-breathing creatures was made after writer George R. R. Martin praised the creativity of the prequel. During an FYC event for HBO, Condal stated that filming for the second season would begin “very shortly” in 2023. The event in Los Angeles was attended by eight cast members of House of the Dragon and actor-comedian Josh Gad, who moderated a session with the panel.

Martin himself had expressed his satisfaction with the dragons in the prequel series, stating that they had personality and were distinct from each other. This praise was in contrast to his opinion of the dragons in Game of Thrones, where he felt they were all the same. The introduction of five new dragons in the upcoming season is sure to excite fans of the show, as the fire-breathing creatures have become iconic in the Game of Thrones universe.

House of the Dragon is a prequel to the immensely popular series Game of Thrones and is set 300 years before the events of the original show. The first season of House of the Dragon was well received by audiences and critics alike, with many praising the performances of the cast and the storytelling. The second season is highly anticipated, and the inclusion of new dragons is sure to add to the excitement. Fans will be eagerly awaiting more news about the upcoming season, including a release date and additional cast members.
