House of the Dragon Roadmap – Do We Know How Many Seasons There Are?
In order to get a grasp of the timeframe, House of the Dragon will cover the generational Targaryen war of succession.
While we don’t know how many seasons there will be just yet, The Hollywood Reporter confirmed that the first season will include a 10-year time jump in addition to several other multi-year time jumps.
With future seasons expected to be greenlit in order to portray the rise and fall of House Targaryen fluently, sources to THR also revealed that House of the Dragon will have a shorter run than Game of Thrones, expected to last only three or four seasons.
