Official Announcement: George RR Martin reveals a major update on House of the Dragon's Ending!
The season finale of House of the Dragon Season 2 is almost upon us and everyone surely wishes there could be two more episodes just so they could enjoy the show. Even writer George RR Martin wanted it to be a full 10-episode series.
Based on the Fire & Blood novel, the hit series follows the story of the Targaryen dynasty as the great house faces a bloody civil war known as the Dance of Dragons.
On his website, George RR Martin wrote a reflection on the first season of House of the Dragon and how he wished it had more than ten episodes just so it could explore other aspects that were left out due to time and budget constraints.
