The last episode of Game of Thrones aired four years ago, leaving viewers gasping for more of the kingdom of characters. And soon after, the show makers blessed fans with more from the George RR Martin novels. House of the Dragon made its debut in 2022, the first season casting a wave of excitement over all the previous GOT fans. The boiling red Targaryen blood color that all are so familiar with was getting its own series, with the entire backdrop and history of GOT painted in this show. The HBO prequel was a super hit with its 10 episodes in season 1. And now that season 2 is already in the works, exciting new details are dropping in. 

The return of season 2 of House of the Dragon has promised the return of this famed GOT detail, and we are here all for it.

In a report by Redanian Intelligence, the second season is promising The Wall to be back on screen. Aerial shots of the show’s ice structure from the Leavesden Studios confirmed its revival. The mammoth of a concrete wall that spanned over 300 miles has seen some pretty grueling scenes. This structure of solid white ice protected all seven kingdoms from the White Walkers. And the prospect of having this wall, which was one of the major highlights of the Kingdom of the North, adds curiosity. What we can expect in terms of the story arcs coming into play adds a layer of mystery to the hushed filming, too. 

With Winterfell and now The Wall coming into play in the Northern location, the Targaryen will definitely be having quite some conversations and journeys there. Viewers can expect Jace Targaryen and Cregan Stark to share some serious dialogues on the colossal fortification.

The season 2 of House of the Dragon will mostly hit our screens in 2024 and wrap up shooting in September this year. Though some actors have joined the SAG-AFTRA strikes, the uncertainty of exact dates will be a norm for a while. After wrapping up their outdoor shoot in Wales, the crew moved into the Warner Bros. Leavesden Studios in Hertfordshire. And if you are waiting in anticipation, there is more good news. Some of the best minds from The Witcher and Vikings are set to join the crew of directors.

Sadly though, the show will not be graced by Miguel Sapochnik. The tussle of the decision was rather peculiar, but personal. The director’s wife played the role of Tayla, Queen Alicent’s maid in season 1. But she was not roped in for the second season.
