Actor Matt Smith was a recent guest on the BBC's  Zoe Ball Breakfast Show and the Prince Daemon Targaryen has seemingly let it slip that season 2 of House of the Dragon will be hitting HBO airwaves this August.

When asked by the podcast team when season 2 would arrive, Smith replied, "August, I think, I think summer. This summer, yeah. I’ve not seen any of it yet but we finished last year."

In season 2, Rhaenyra Targaryen and Alicent Hightower seemed destined for a bloody civil war.

The first season of the Westeros prequel series also premiered in August (back in 2022) so that tracks 

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

We'll caution that fans shouldn't take Smith's comments as gospel but it certainly makes sense as season 1 also premiered in August.

This past December, season 2 of the show released its first trailer, indicating that marketing for the followup is about to ramp up.

House of the Dragon season 2 will star Matt Smith as Daemon Targaryen, Olivia Cooke as  Alicent Hightower, Emma D’Arcy as Rhaenyra Targaryen, Eve Best as  Rhaenys Targaryen, Steve Toussaint as Corlys Velaryon and Fabien Frankel as Ser Criston Cole.

The series also stars Ewan Mitchell as Aemond Targaryen, Tom Glynn-Carney as King Aegon II, Sonoya Mizuno as Mysaria, and Rhys Ifans as Ser Otto Hightower. 

Game of Thrones veteran Alan Taylor will direct episodes 1 and 4 of season 2, while Clare Kilner helms episodes 2 and 5. Geeta Patel directed episodes 3 and 8, while Andrij Parekh directed the cast in episode 6 and Loni Peristere oversaw filming on episode 7.

House of the Dragon Synopsis:
 The prequel series finds the Targaryen dynasty at the absolute apex of its power, with more than 15 dragons under their yoke. Most empires—real and imagined—crumble from such heights. In the case of the Targaryens, their slow fall begins almost 193 years before the events of Game of Thrones, when King Viserys Targaryen breaks with a century of tradition by naming his daughter Rhaenyra heir to the Iron Throne. But when Viserys later fathers a son, the court is shocked when Rhaenyra retains her status as his heir, and seeds of division sow friction across the realm.
