Game of Thrones fans can currently look forward to the second season of the prequel series House of the Dragon, which continued the popular fantasy saga two years ago with the gripping prequel story of House Targaryen. But even before the new episodes reach us, there is more good news from Westeros and the Seven Kingdoms: Because the future of House of the Dragon is sealed.

How many episodes the 3rd season will have has not yet been announced. The first season of the series still had 10 episodes. The upcoming 2nd season, however, will only have 8 episodes.
Vice President of HBO Programming, Franscesca Orsi, explained the renewal (via The Hollywood Reporter ):
[Co-creators] Geroge [R.R. Martin], Ryan [Condal] and the rest of our incredible executive producers, cast, crew, have reached new heights with the phenomenal second season of House of the Dragon. […] We couldn’t be happier to continue the story of House Targaryen and see the team burn bright again for a third season.
