'Game of Thrones' prequel series 'House of the Dragon' wraps up production

"House of the Dragon," the highly-anticipated prequel to "Game of Thrones," has finished production.

HBO Max chief content officer Casey Bloys confirmed the news to Variety, but said they weren't ready yet to announce a release date.

However, they are already betting on a second season.

"If you’re betting on whether we’re going to do a second season, I think it’s probably a pretty good bet," he was quoted as saying. "Generally speaking, we usually let something air and see how it does, but obviously, we’ll make preparations ahead of time to make sure we’re ahead of the game."

HBO Max unveiled the teaser for "House of the Dragon" in October.

It gave a first look at "Doctor Who" actor Matt Smith as Prince Daemon Targaryen, Emma D’Arcy as Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen, and Olivia Cooke as Alice Hightower.

"House of the Dragon," based on George R.R. Martin's "Fire & Blood" book, is set 200 years prior to the events of "Game of Thrones." It narrates the story of the House of Targaryen and the civil war that became known as the "Dance of the Dragons."

"Game of Thrones" premiered on HBO in 2011 and ran until 2019.

The prequel series is set to arrive this 2022. —JCB, GMA News
