When is House of the Dragon Season 4 coming out?

The dust is still settling after the Battle of Tumbleton in House of the Dragon‘s Season 3 finale, and if you’re anything like me, you’re wondering, When are we going to see what happens next?

The good news is that House of the Dragon Season 4 is already on the way. HBO announced the Season 4 renewal in Nov. 2025, along with a Season 2 renewal for the yet-unreleased A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms.

As part of that announcement, HBO confirmed it had plans to release these seasons through 2028. A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms Season 2 will come first, in 2027, while House of the Dragon Season 4 is slated for 2028.

The exact release date for House of the Dragon Season 4 has yet to be announced, as Season 4 hasn’t even started filming. However, given that every season of House of the Dragon has premiered in the summer (Season 1 in August, Seasons 2 and 3 in June), it’s highly likely Season 4 will follow this trend and continue being HBO’s summer tentpole release. So get ready for yet another two-year wait between seasons, an unfortunate norm in today’s streaming age. (Remember when the wait between Game of Thrones seasons was just a year?)

Is House of the Dragon Season 4 the show’s final season?

However, this two-year wait for more House of the Dragon may be the last one fans will have to endure, as it’s highly likely that Season 4 will be the show’s last.

At a 2024 press conference following the Season 2 finale, showrunner Ryan Condal confirmed that House of the Dragon would last four seasons. He has reiterated that sentiment throughout the press run for Season 3, telling Entertainment Weekly, “I can’t speak for everybody else involved with the show and HBO and all that, but, yes, [four seasons] is very much my plan.”

That means we’ll only have one more hiatus until we find out how things will end for Rhaenyra (Emma D’Arcy) and the rest of her dysfunctional family. Given the ending of Season 3, we’re surely in for House of the Dragon‘s darkest, bloodiest outing yet.

House of the Dragon Season 3 is now streaming on HBO Max.
