House of the Dragon season 2 is set to begin filming very soon.

The Game of Thrones prequel series – which is set around 200 years before the original show and follows the Targaryen dynasty – made its debut last year, becoming a huge hit for network HBO.

Season 2 is now on the way, with a listing from the Film & Television Industry Alliance's Production List revealing that production is due to kick off on March 6 in the UK and Spain.

While concrete details on the next set of episodes remain under wraps for now, series writer and producer Sara Hess teased earlier this month that they were mapping out the finale.

"We are currently writing the finale of season two. I don’t think you will be disappointed," she told Variety.

Star Graham McTavish, who plays Ser Harrold Westerling, also teased season 2 back in November, telling Metro of the plot: "I think the way that it's going, is it's leading towards civil war.

"Civil war is that great thing that countries indulge in when they haven't got anybody else to go and fight, they seem to just like fighting amongst themselves just to keep their hand in, and this is no different.

"They've had peace for a long, long time, and suddenly they are quite literally destroying the kingdom from within and that's what makes it so interesting, so I would expect more of that – more division, more taking sides."

Season 2 is also getting some change-ups behind-the-scenes, with Miguel Sapochnik exiting as co-showrunner last September.

House of the Dragon airs on HBO in the US and on Sky Atlantic and NOW in the UK. Season 2 has been confirmed. Game of Thrones seasons 1-8 are available on DVD and Blu-ray.
