“Don’t expect it in ’23, but I think sometime in ’24,” he said, declining to get into specifics. “We’re just starting to put the plan together, and just like last time, there are so many unknowns. It’s not to be coy or secretive, but you don’t want to say it’s going to be ready on this date, and then you have to move it.”
From what we know, the first season production took almost ten months. In April 2021, the filming of the first installment began and it got wrapped up in February 2022. After this post-production took place & finally gifted us with the first episode of the series on August 21, 2022. If our predicted premiere date holds somewhere accurate, House of the Dragon Season 2 might get introduced to us in mid-2024.
House of the Dragon Season 2 expected storyline:
After what happened at the end of the first season, we are pretty sure the second season will begin with war. We noticed how Princess Rhaenys was trying to fulfill her deceased father’s wishes for peace. However, that wishes are not going to last longer, especially after Lucerys tragic murder. On the verge of ending, we saw when Daemon gave her the news, after which she was devastated. However, when she turned her face grieving look converted into hatred & we all predicted what that expression screamed… Revenge!

Even executive producer, Hess gave an interview to Variety in late December 2022, in which he gave us a spoiler. He slipped the information regarding the House of the Dragon Season 2 plot will mostly include a revenge storyline against Alicent.

In the above post, we can see Rhaenyra and Ser Criston Cole having a conversation. By the looks of it, we believe it is one of the behind scenes of House of the Dragon Season 2.
