In what is a relatively common practice, HBO did not reveal the episode order in the season two renewal announcement last summer. The second chapter was supposed to have another 10-episode run, which eventually changed, leading to some script rewrites.
The fantasy drama "House of the Dragon" will have eight episodes in its upcoming second season, two fewer than in its debut season.
The move is part of a long-term strategy for the show, according to the entertainment website Deadline, which also includes network HBO mulling renewing the "Game of Thrones" prequel spin-off for a third season.
Eight episodes will make up Season 2 according to an HBO official who confirmed the news to the publication. The spokesperson emphasised that the episode count reduction was driven by the stories.
