House of the Dragon has it all: soap-opera machinations, medieval fantasy, implied yuri. And now, it has just the Thursday-afternoon pick-me-up its fiery fan base needs to distract themselves from the endless workweek: the promise of a third season. HBO renewed the Game of Thrones prequel for yet another go on June 13, just ahead of the premiere of the second season this weekend. Team Black and Team Green, or Team Red and Team Gold if you’re nasty, will once again face off in the near or distant future, arguing into the internet void about which house is the least abusive and most politically skilled to take the Iron Throne. That is to say, we have no details yet about what to expect, except that we are expecting.
“George, Ryan, and the rest of our incredible executive producers, cast, and crew, have reached new heights with the phenomenal second season of House of the Dragon,” HBO exec Francesca Orsi said in a press release. “We are in awe of the dragon-sized effort the entire team has put into the creation of a spectacular season two, with a scope and scale that is only rivaled by its heart. We could not be more thrilled to continue the story of House Targaryen and watch this team burn bright again for season three.” We wait for the new plots with bated breath and a Negroni Sbagliato.
