Game of Thrones might have ended in 2019, but the franchise shows no signs of slowing down. In fact, in 2026, we’re going to see House of the Dragon help make history for the franchise! Well, 2026 will be the first year in HBO’s history that fans will get to enjoy two Game of Thrones series released in the same calendar year. This means that fans will be getting two Game of Thrones shows in the same calendar year for the very first time in the history of the franchise, and it’s a brilliant move. Having two Game of Thrones shows airing in one year increases HBO's content offerings and gives it two high-profile projects for two key periods in the year.
