HBO has been enjoying success with their latest project, which has helped rejuvenate the Game of Thrones franchise following the divisive ending of its original series. Despite fans eagerly awaiting Season 3, production hasn’t been moving swiftly. Now, one actor from the show has offered some optimistic news about when filming could start… but also hinted that we might have to wait another 25 years for it to air. We certainly hope he was just kidding!
Clearly, House of the Dragon won’t be back on HBO in 25 years, but Otto Hightower actor’s humorous commentary about the slow progress of the series development will undoubtedly strike a chord with viewers eagerly waiting for more episodes. Given that the series has only aired two seasons over six years, his hyperbole is just a tad beyond plausible.
In a chat with ScreenRant, When asked about potential updates for Season 3 of the magical series, Ifans replied:
“As far as I know, there’s been no news or official announcement regarding Season 3.”
During a conversation with ScreenRant, when asked if there are any updates on Season 3 of the fantasy show, Ifans stated:
“To my knowledge, neither news nor an official statement has been released concerning Season 3.
I’m not certain about the details, but I can definitely detect a sulfur smell. [Laughs] Something seems to be cooking. I think they will start filming this year, so it might be around 25 years from now when you can finally watch it.” [Laughs]
‘House of the Dragon’s Slow Development Has Been Frustrating
In the past ten years, television has undergone significant transformation, with streaming platforms like Max, Netflix, and Amazon Prime Video significantly expanding the size, range, and complexity of series they produce. This growth has led fans to experience extended wait times before their beloved shows resume for new seasons on screen.
In the 1990s, series like “The X-Files” and “Quantum Leap,” along with many other network shows, typically released new seasons annually. However, it’s now quite frequent to notice a two or three-year break between some of today’s most popular series, such as “Stranger Things,” “The Lord of the Rings: Ring of Power,” and “House of the Dragon.” Pondering over this trend, particularly when comparing it with its predecessor, “Game of Thrones,” leads to questioning why this shift has occurred.
For seven seasons spanning from 2011 to 2017, “Game of Thrones” never missed a yearly release. Given the striking resemblances between the two series, complete with CGI dragons and lengthy application of makeup and prosthetics, the extended production period of “House of the Dragon” seems all the more puzzling.
The series “House of the Dragon” was initially discussed by Martin on his blog in 2018. It received a direct-to-series order in 2019, and writing for the show started in 2020. However, Season 1 didn’t air until August 2022. Just a week after its premiere, Season 2 was announced, and it premiered on HBO and Max about two years later in June 2024. As of now, production for Season 3 has not yet started, which means viewers may have to wait until at least mid-2026 to see the episodes, although they might not take as long as 25 years to reach screens.
