For those wondering when audiences can expect to see the first of the multiple Game of Thrones spin-off shows that are in development, it appears as if 2022 is the answer you’re looking for.

Courtesy of Variety, HBO’s Casey Bloys has indicated that House of the Dragon is likely to be debuting in 2022. The programming chief was unable to give any clearer specifics on just exactly when in 2022 this spin-off will arrive, but this at least gives us all a rough idea of when we’ll be heading back to the greater world of Game of Thrones.

House of the Dragon is the Thrones series that’s currently being developed by George R.R. Martin and Rampage’s Ryan Condal, and the show will be loosely based on Fire & Blood. That means that the action will be set 300 years before what we’ve seen play out in Game of Thrones, with the series to centre around the famed House of Targaryen.

If you remember, the past couple of months saw the untitled Naomi Watts-fronted Thrones spin-off show scrapped at the pilot stage. For those wondering exactly what went wrong with that Martin and Jane Goldman-developed offering, Bloys simply stated that there wasn’t one specific problem, per se – just that things didn’t quite come together as HBO had hoped.

As ever, expect more on all things Game of Thrones as we get it.
