It's been nearly a decade since Game of Thrones ended its epic run, but the world of Westeros is far from quiet. The franchise has found new life with the acclaimed prequel House of the Dragon, and now HBO Max is gearing up for a massive June 2026 that will bring even more content to fans. From a groundbreaking ASL version of Season 2 to the highly anticipated Season 3, here's everything you need to know about what's coming to the streaming service.
Since its debut in 2022, House of the Dragon has become a phenomenon in its own right, often rivaling the popularity of its predecessor. Created by George R.R. Martin and Ryan Condal, the series is based on Martin's Fire & Blood and chronicles the rise and fall of House Targaryen, culminating in the devastating civil war known as the Dance of the Dragons. The franchise has also expanded with the new series A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, which has helped unite fans after years of division.

House of the Dragon Season 2 (ASL Version) – June 15, 2026
In celebration of Global Awareness Day, HBO Max announced the streaming debut of the House of the Dragon ASL (American Sign Language) version. Following the release of an ASL version of Season 1, Season 2 will get the same treatment on June 15, 2026.
