Community for fans of the HBO show and Game of Thrones prequel: House of the Dragon.
The show follows George R Martin's "Dance of the Dragons" story, which has been outlined in various books including The World of Ice and Fire, and Fire and Blood. The main plot focuses on a brutal Targaryen civil war, and is set 200 years before the events of Game of Thrones.
Season 1 of the show started airing in August 2022, and consisted of 10 episodes released weekly.
Season 2 will begin in Summer of 2024, and will consist of 8 episodes. Showrunner Ryan Condal returns for Season 2, after the departing of Miguel Sapochnik.

This is the best summary I could come up with:
Ryan Condal, who currently serves as House of the Dragon‘s showrunner, and Vince Gerardis also will be EPs.
“A century before the events of Game of Thrones, two unlikely heroes wandered Westeros,” the previously released official logline reads.
“A young, naive but courageous knight, Ser Duncan the Tall” (aka Dunk) “and his diminutive squire, Egg.
In 2021, HBO and Max chief content officer Casey Bloys stressed that the Game of Thrones spinoff concepts that would move forward would be the ones that are the strongest based on several measures.
“Obviously, we know George has this incredible world with all of this really rich and complicated history and all of these characters,” he told TVLine at the time.
Bloys added that HBO also would take into account what the network — and the creators with which it partners — are most excited about, story-wise.
