‘Euphoria,’ ‘House of the Dragon,’ ‘White Lotus,’ and more series are set to return to HBO!
HBO chief Casey Bloys on Thursday gave some release updates on ‘Euphoria,’ ‘House of the Dragon, ‘The Hedge Knight,’ ‘The Last of Us’ season two, ‘White Lotus’ season three, the ‘IT’ prequel series, and more.
The announcement was made by HBO chief Casey Bloys during a press event in New York revealing that The second season of the acclaimed Game of Thrones prequel season has wrapped filming and is currently in post-production.
House of the Dragon 2 will air in the early summer of 2024. The second season will consist of eight episodes, two less than the first.
Meanwhile, Euphoria season three, White Lotus season 3, and HBO’s prequel series to Stephen King’s novel IT (Welcome to Derry) have all been pushed to 2025.
Adding more to it, HBO’s Game of Thrones prequel, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: The Hedge Knight, hopes to begin shooting in the spring.
“Game of Thrones” spinoff, “A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: The Hedge Knight,” based on George R.R. Martin’s “Dunk and Egg” books, will begin shooting, pending the end of the ongoing SAG-AFTRA strike.
None of the other Thrones prequel concepts are close to a greenlight, Bloys revealed, but they’re working on ideas.
Bloys also responded to this week’s Rolling Stone report that he employed fake Twitter accounts to spar with TV critics in 2020 and 2021.
“I’m home working from home, spending an unhealthy amount of time scrolling through Twitter, and I came up with a very, very dumb idea to vent my frustration,” the executive said.
“Obviously, six tweets over a year and a half is not very effective. But I do apologize to the people who were mentioned in the leaked email, and texts. Obviously, nobody wants to be part of a story that they had nothing to do it. But also, as many of you know, I have progressed over the past couple of years and using DM so now when I take issue with something in review or take issue with something I see I DM many of you, and many of you are gracious enough to engage with me back and forth.”
