Expect a shorter than normal winter when “Game of Thrones” prequel series “House of the Dragon” returns. HBO has given the hit series a shortened run of 8-episodes for its upcoming second season, TheWrap has confirmed.
The decision to shorten the show’s second season comes amid months of belt-tightening measures at HBO’s parent company Warner Bros. Discovery. However, individuals with knowledge of the matter insist the move is due only to the needs of the story being told and not to any other concerns.
HBO didn’t have any comment, but according to Deadline, which first reported the news, the shortened season is part of a longer plan that includes the possibility of an early Season 3 renewal.
