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.

This is the end that never saw the light

This is the end that never saw the light

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.
