House Of The Dragon Co-Creator Says Season 4 Will End The Series
Ryan Condal suggests that the five-season plan for House of the Dragon has been cut down to four.
House of the Dragon Season 2 left a lot of loose ends to explore when Season 3 inevitably rolls around. There are also plenty of lingering questions about where House of the Dragon will go next. But the show may have already reached its halfway point. In a new interview, series co-creator Ryan Condal indicated House of the Dragon will finish its run after four seasons.
Condal was asked by The Hollywood Reporter if the series would run for five seasons as previously mentioned. In response, Condal said "I think it's four [seasons]." He also explained why the Season 2 finale ended without showing the Battle of the Gullet.
"When you're a showrunner, you're always in the position of having to balance storytelling and the resources that you have available to tell that story," noted Condal. "When you're trying to mount the show, which requires a tremendous amount of resources, construction, armor, costumes, visual effects… we are trying to give The Gullet--which is arguably the second most anticipated action event of Fire & Blood--trying to give it the time and the space that it deserves."
He went on to "apologize for the wait" before adding that "We're going to pull off a hell of a win with The Battle of the Gullet."
According to Condal, House of the Dragon Season 3 will begin filming next year, and it will likely be eight episodes long.
