Filming on the Game of Thrones prequel House of the Dragon has finally concluded, according to author George R.R. Martin.
Martin, whose book A Song of Ice and Fire was the inspiration for the mega-popular Game of Thrones series, revealed the news in a blog post on Thursday, February 17.
Taking to his personal blog, Martin, 73, wrote, “Exciting news out of London — I am informed that shooting has WRAPPED for the first season. Yes, all ten episodes.”
He went on to share that he has seen rough cuts from a few of the episodes, and he’s “loving them”.
Martin went on to add, “Of course, a lot more work needs to be done. Special effects, colour timing, score, all the post-production work. But the writing, the directing, the acting all look terrific. I hope you will like them as much as I do.”
While filming has wrapped up, Martin shared that a release date has not been finalised yet.
“So when will you see it, you ask? When will the dragons dance? I wish I could tell you. Lots of work remains to be done, as I said, and COVID makes planning difficult. This spring? Unlikely. Maybe summer? Could be. Fall? Who knows? You’ll know when we do,” he quipped.
