Matt Smith Reveals When "HOUSE OF THE DRAGON" Season 2 Is Set To Premiere

Matt Smith who plays the ever hateful and sneaky Daemon Targayen on House Of The Dragon for HBO has seemingly revealed when season 2 of the hit show will kick off.

Matt Smith recently appeared on the BBC's Zoe Ball Breakfast Show podcast, where he seems to have let slip that season 2 of House of the Dragon will premiere on HBO this August.

When the podcast hosts nonchalantly asked when season 2 will be released, Smith responded, "August, I think, summer." Yes, this summer.”

Promos for the upcoming season reveal that Rhaenyra Targaryen and Alicent Hightower appear set for a devastating civil war in Season 2.

The first season of the Westeros prequel series also debuted in August (back in 2022), thus there's precedent for an August premiere.

House of Dragon season 2 was confirmed shortly after season 1 wrapped and unlike most television shows, it was not affected by last summer's SAG-AFTRA and WGA strikes as the fantasy production operates on a UK Equity contract.

Now things can obviously change as August is a bit away from now but lets hope Smith is right because we sure do miss them dragons.

Season 2 of the program debuted its first trailer in December, hinting that promotion for the sequel is ready to get up.
