Production has begun on the second series of House of the Dragon.

It’s good news for House of the Dragon fans as production has commenced on the second season of Sky’s exclusive drama series. Based on George R.R. Martin’s “Fire & Blood,” the series, set 200 years before the events of “Game of Thrones,” tells the story of House Targaryen.

Production has kickstarted at Leavesden Studios in Watford and the series has also teased a first image for dedicated fans from the set. The image features the iron throne with crew members visible in the background.
