A House of the Dragon star’s Netflix series with a 100% Rotten Tomatoes score has gotten a season 2 renewal one year after the series originally aired. There are plenty of popular Netflix shows that have highly-anticipated upcoming seasons. Some of the more high-profile ones include Stranger Things season 5, which will end the horror series, as well as The Witcher, which has been confirmed for seasons 4 and 5 already. Given the number of originals the streamer produces, however, it’s not surprising when some shows take quite a while between the confirmation and release of new episodes.
Some examples can be attributed to even the most popular series on the platform, such as Squid Game season 2 arriving over three years after season 1. Others can be applied to popular, yet comparatively smaller, shows on the streamer as well. For example, The Watcher season 2 will arrive in 2025, despite season 1’s premiere in 2022, while new seasons of Ginny & Georgia have been released every other year. These long waits also apply to a show that was recently renewed, almost one year after it initially premiered.
