House Of The Dragon season two episodes will appear shorter than the first instalment, HBO has announced.According to Deadline, the Game of Thrones prequel will contain eight episodes instead of its usual 10. This unforeseen change comes after HBO revealed that the series would get an identical amount of episodes after its debut in 2021.However, while some may think it was a cost-cutting mission due to the change in leadership at Warner Bros Discovery, a spokesperson from HBO stressed that the change of plans was “story-driven” and part of a “long-term plan” for the series.This change for season two will transfer significant portions of the series to season three, including a big battle scene.
