It stars Paddy Considine, Matt Smith, Olivia Cooke, Emma D’Arcy, Steve Toussaint, Eve Best, Fabien Frankel, Sonoya Mizuno and Rhys Ifans. Ryan Condal and George R.R. Martin executive produce with Sara Hess, Vince Gerardis, Season 2 director Alan Taylor and Season 1 director/co-showrunner Miguel Sapochnik.
“When we look at the next 12-18-24 months, we have all of our four biggest HBO tentpoles – House of the Dragon Season Two coming in June,” as well as new installments of The Last of Us, Euphoria and White Lotus, Perrette said at the Morgan Stanley confab.
