And the wait is finally over. Production has begun on House of the Dragon Season 2.

Filming is underway on the HBO show at Warner Bros Studios Leavesden, with a first-look picture released of the Iron Throne sitting proudly in the Great Hall of the Red Keep, Deadline reported.

Excited about the shoot, Ryan Condal, Co-Creator/Showrunner/Executive Producer said, "House of the Dragon has returned. We are thrilled to be shooting again with members of our original family as well as new talents on both sides of the camera. All your favourite characters will soon be conspiring at the council tables, marching with their armies, and riding their dragons into battle."

The cast for Season 2 includes Matt Smith, Olivia Cooke, Emma D'Arcy, Eve Best, Steve Toussaint, Fabien Frankel, Ewan Mitchell, Tom Glynn-Carney, Sonoya Mizuno, and Rhys Ifans.

The additional returning cast includes Harry Collett, Bethany Antonia, Phoebe Campbell, Phia Saban, Jefferson Hall, and Matthew Needham.

No release date has been revealed yet, but the show is likely to return in 2024.

According to HBO, the debut season averaged at least 29 million viewers per episode -- higher than all but the final two seasons of Game of Thrones.

Based on executive producer George R.R. Martin's book Fire & Blood, the series is set 200 years before the events of Game of Thrones and tells the story of House Targaryen.
