Why House Of The Dragon Is Only Getting Two More Seasons

This article contains spoilers for House of Dragon

House of the Dragon came to a dramatic cliffhanger in the season 2 finale, and despite a mixed reaction from viewers one thing is undeniable – huge storylines (slowly) unfolded, unexpected alliances presented themselves and now the various players are set up for a rather testy reunion. While the last episode was void of bloody conflicts, surprise deaths or shocking defeats, it did allow the key characters to position themselves for an epic fight for the throne. We saw Daemon pledge his loyalty to Rhaenyra after a particularly unsettling glimpse into the future, while King Aegon fled with Larys to plot Aemond’s takedown from afar and Alicent betrayed her eldest son to ensure her and Helaena’s safety.
