The Last of Us

The House of the Dragon
was the last great phenomenon followed and commented on on a global scale.
Its success was not a surprise: it was the long-awaited sequel to the colossal
Game of Thrones
, although it had the difficult task of regaining interest in the Westeros universe without the charismatic characters the audience knew and healing the wounds of those who were disappointed. by the original series finale.
And he did it by far.
It was one of the most watched fictions of 2022 (the most pirated, according to
Torrentfreak
) and took home the
Golden Globe
for best drama series above titles as notable as
Separation
or
The Crown
.
However, this new goose that lays the golden eggs of
HBO Max
will not return to the platform soon, since it has not even started the recordings of its new installments yet.

Various sources suggested that the filming of the second season of
The House of the Dragon
will begin at the beginning of March, but now other media, such as the
Midgard Times
, indicate that it will be delayed until April 17, the day the cameras will begin. to record in
Cáceres
.
The population of Extremadura, which is promoted internationally as "
City of Dragons
", will once again host the production as it did in the first season, just like in
Game of Thrones
.
The monumental complex of its Intramuros neighborhood, dotted with palaces, fortifications and churches, serves to shape the streets of
King's Landing
, the capital of the fictional
Seven Kingdoms
in which the series takes place.
The Spanish one is the only confirmed location for the new season, along with the
Warner Bros.
studios in the
United Kingdom
where the interior scenes are shot;
there is located the room of the
Iron Throne
and other palatial dependencies.
However,
La casa del dragón
is expected to visit other places in Spain to record new sequences, as it did last season with the
castle of La Calahorra
, in Granada.
blood and cheese
What is clear is that we will not see the series soon.
Last week,
Casey Bloys , head of
HBO
content
, gave a clue: the series will not be eligible for the
2024 Emmys
, which means that its premiere will be after May 31 of next year.
Considering the scale of the production, it makes sense: filming for the season will last ten months, and then a lot of post-production work will come into play to introduce the dragons, virtual sets and other digital effects.
Although secrecy surrounds everything that has to do with the series, some juicy clues about the future of the story have been revealed.
Sara Hess
, the show's writer and executive producer, said, "You won't be disappointed," when asked by
Variety
about the possible inclusion of two new characters dubbed
Blood and Cheese
.
It is about a butcher and a rat hunter who will be hired by
Daemon Targaryen
to try to carry out his revenge against the
Greens
after the tragic blow that he and
Rhaenyra
experienced at the end of the previous season.
A
casting
information indicates that they would be looking for a pair of twins about four years old and with long hair, who could be
Jaehaera
and
Jaehaerys
, sons of the now king
Aegon Targaryen
and his sister and wife
Helaena
, related to this plot in the book
Blood and fire
.
In addition, actor
Samuel Edward-Cook
, who has appeared in
Peaky Blinders
, posted on his social media a video of his
casting
for the role of
Cheese
which he later deleted.
Very possibly, Edward-Cook is not the one chosen for this character and is only a resource as a
book
, or a way to promote himself.
It is unknown if
Emily Beecham
, who recently starred in
1899
on
Netflix
, will be chosen for another role in
The House of the Dragon
, as indicated by a leak that has revealed the appearance of two new characters:
Alys Ríos
, lover of
Aemond Targaryen
and a mysterious woman who It will remind us of
Melisandre
because, like the red priestess of
Game of Thrones
, she has visions through fire and seems to never age.
'Spin-off' in sight?
Meanwhile, as production on
House of the Dragon
progresses, it's uncertain what will happen to the other possible
spin-offs
.
Despite the fact that it came to light that
HBO Max
had several ideas related to the universe created by the writer
George RR Martin
in development , not all of them will come to fruition and, as the author himself commented on his blog in December, none have still green light and several have even been archived.
For his part, HBO
's head of content
has clarified that they have no intention of undertaking
spin-offs
that are not up to par just to cover programming gaps, but they also do not have to limit themselves to one series at a time: "You have to "develop a lot of things and test. You never know what's going to work," he says, adding: "It takes time to get something right. We want to make something everyone is proud of."
Among the possibilities on the air are a series about the youthful voyages of
Corlys Velaryon
, the
Sea Serpent
, or the adaptation of Martin's chivalric novellas, the
Tales from Dunk & Egg
, as well as various animated productions.
In addition,
Kit Harington
, who gave life to
Jon Snow
, has pointed out in several interviews that he could star in another fiction that would follow her character after the end of
Game of Thrones
, again on the Wall.
There are months of news, rumors and filming leaks ahead that will keep the illusion alive, but we will not see any dragon crossing the sky.
At least, not in the next year.
