HBO announced today that House of the Dragon has been renewed for a fourth season. The early pickup comes ahead of the prequel series' third season, which is slated to premiere in summer 2026. Season 4 isn't expected until 2028. Fellow 'Game of Thrones' franchise series 'A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms' was also renewed today ahead of its debut in January.

"We are thrilled to be able to deliver new seasons of these two series for the next three years, for the legion of fans of the 'Game of Thrones' universe," said Francesca Orsi, EVP, HBO Programming, Head of HBO Drama Series and Films. "Together, HOUSE OF THE DRAGON and A KNIGHT OF THE SEVEN KINGDOMS reveal just how expansive and richly imagined George R. R. Martin's universe continues to be. In January, I think audiences will be delighted by the inspiring underdog tale of Dunk and Egg that George and Ira Parker have captured so beautifully. And this summer, HOUSE OF THE DRAGON is set to ignite once again with some of its most epic battles yet."

Based on George R.R. Martin's 'Fire & Blood' novel, House of the Dragon is set 200 years before the events of 'Game of Thrones,' which concluded in 2019 after an 8-year run. The series chronicles the story of House Targaryen, including the events leading up to the Targaryen civil war, aka the 'Dance of the Dragons', and the war that erupted over control of the legendary Iron Throne.
