House Of The Dragon BTS Footage Shows Game Of Thrones'…

Summary

House of the Dragon season 2 is currently filming, as confirmed by social media posts showing the arrival of the Night's Watch men at Bourne Woods.
The inclusion of the Night's Watch in the prequel series indicates a more traditional Game of Thrones-style approach in season 2, promising a return to the intrigue and darkness that fans loved.
Fans can expect a continuation of the main Dance of the Dragons storyline with no more large time-skips, as the show aims to match the success of the first season while exploring new territory.

A House of the Dragon season 2 set video revealed the return of a fan-favorite group from Game of Thrones.

Similarly based on the work of George R.R. Martin, House of the Dragon serves as a prequel to the award-winning HBO series Game of Thrones. Based on the 2018 work Fire and Blood instead of the mainline A Song of Ice and Fire series, House of the Dragon tells the story of House Targeryen's decline as caused by the Dance of the Dragons, a succession war that led to the clan’s slow degradation to the fallen state fans see at the start of the original series.

After House of the Dragon season 2 received an update revealing the show was still filming amidst the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes earlier in the year, fans have been eager for more news about the production. In a recent post, the social media account Redanian Intelligence on Twitter uploaded a video with the caption, “The Night's Watch men arriving at Bourne Woods for S2 of #HouseOfTheDragon.” In the video, a column of men draped in dark Game of Thrones-style cloaks can be seen riding in a double file on black horses as crew members look on with smiles. The account also followed up the tweet with 2 still images, letting fans get a good look at the costumes.

The inclusion of the Night's Watch in House of the Dragon, which takes place about two centuries before the events depicted in Game of Thrones, might have some more casual fans wondering how old Game of Thrones' Night's Watch organization is. However, more invested fans have likely been expecting their eventual on-screen return. Now that their return has been confirmed, viewers can once more expect the most fearless protectors of Westeros to delve into the intrigue and darkness that shrouds the lands they guard.

The addition of the Night's Watch is also a subtle indicator of how the show’s second season will be distinct from the first, making good on the showrunner’s promise that House of the Dragon season 2 would be more similar to Game of Thrones than the first. Alongside the assurance of no more large time-skips in the second season, fans are sure to be treated to a more traditional Game of Thrones-style approach to the main Dance of the Dragons storyline, complete with more measured pacing and all. How well the showrunners will be able to follow up on a widely acclaimed first season while also striking out to match the record-setting first series remains to be seen.

House of the Dragon season 1 is now available for streaming on Max.
