While production has been paused on House of the Dragon as a result of the SAG-AFTRA strike, a photo and video from the set of season 2 showcases a location which will be instantly familiar to Game of Thrones fans.
Yes, it appears we're returning to the Wall!
What's intriguing is that the Wall never actually appears in the section of Fire and Blood being adapted by HBO's prequel series. However, after Rhaneyra Targaryen sent Jace Targaryen to Winterfell to seek out Lord Cregan Stark, we'd guess he's the one who ventures this far North.
Jace and Cregan grow close in the books, so the latter may well choose to show him somewhere he's only ever heard of. We're sure this would be a good opportunity to further link the spin-off series up with Game of Thrones as well.
We also can't discount the possibility of a flashback depicting the moment Jace's great-great-grandfather, King Jaehhaerys Targaryen visited Winterfell, only for his wife, Alysanne, to discover her dragon Silverwing would refuse to cross the Wall (hinting at sinister threats beyond).
House of the Dragon season 2 doesn't have a release date and is likely to be delayed due to the strikes. However, we've previously heard it will consist of only eight episodes rather than ten.
Back in April, Gayle Rankin, Simon Russell Beale, Freddie Fox, and Abubakar Salim were announced to have joined the show for its second season as Alys Rivers, Ser Simon Strong, Ser Gwayne Hightower and Alyn of Hull, respectively.
