Yahoo News GOT creator confirms House of the Dragon seasons 3 and 4 in the works
Game of Thrones creator George R R Martin has revealed that work is underway on seasons three and four of House of the Dragon.
The prequel series is set to return for a shorter second season of eight episodes next summer, having had its production mostly unaffected by all the strikes that took place this year.
But looking beyond that, Martin said he's been in the United Kingdom to hash out the plot details of the third and fourth seasons, although he felt like there was a lot of hashing still left to do.

On his blog, the author wrote that, for two days, he was "locked in a room with Ryan Condal and his writing staff (Sara Hess, Ti Mikkel, David Hancock, and Philippa Goslett) talking about the third and fourth seasons of House of the Dragon.
"They were lively, fun discussions, and we got some good work done… though two days was not nearly enough. There is so much ground to cover that I am not sure 20 days would have been enough."
He also got to see rough cuts of the first two episodes from the second season, which he said were very good but also incredibly dark, and got to walk around the sets, which he raved about.

"Nothing I have ever seen can compare with the Red Keep and Dragonstone sets they have built at Leavesden Studios in London," he said. "HUGE, stunning, and so damned real that I felt as if I had gone through a time portal to medieval Westeros.
"I love castles and have visited dozens of actual medieval castles, keeps, and towers in my time, and none of the real castles I've ever seen can hold a candle… or a torch… to our Red Keep."
House of the Dragon airs on HBO in the US and on Sky Atlantic and NOW in the UK. Season 2 will be released in summer 2024. Game of Thrones seasons 1-8 are available on DVD and Blu-ray.
