House of the Dragon’s Season 2 finale left fans underwhelmed and eagerly anticipating Season 3. The lack of action and spectacle has sparked mixed reactions on social media.
Bollywood Fever: HBO’s House of the Dragon closed out its second season with Sunday night’s finale, leaving many fans underwhelmed. The 70-minute episode, titled “The Queen Who Ever Was,” fell short of the spectacular conclusions that Game of Thrones fans have come to expect.

Fans took to X (formerly Twitter) to voice their frustration over the episode, which set the stage for an anticipated Season 3 but did so at the expense of delivering a lackluster finale. Despite some surprising moments, including a bold move by Alicent (Olivia Cooke) and a shockingly unclaimed Iron Throne, many viewers were left disappointed.
One fan, @ashx_s0ul, tweeted, “WHERE IS THE REST OF THE EPISODE???” alongside a picture of a cat captioned, ‘Sobbing in Valyrian.’
The first season ended with the shocking death of Rhaenyra Targaryen’s (Emma D’Arcy) son Lucerys at the hands of Aemond (Ewan Mitchell), setting the stage for the impending “war.” However, Season 2 offered little in terms of actual battle action, leading to feelings of discontent among fans.
@helloChanti tweeted, “S1 ended with preparing for war. S2 ended with preparing for war. WHERE’S WAR? I WANT WAR #HouseOfTheDragon Ep8.”
Another user, @Mr_Forrest_Pump, lamented, “55 mins in… no action… just bumping gums.” @CallieJo93 added, “#HouseOfThedragon Lamest finale I’ve ever seen. Now we gotta wait two years. Yawn.”
The series debuted in 2022 and was quickly renewed for a second season, but fans had to endure a nearly two-year wait for Season 2. The production timeline for Season 3 remains unclear, but if it involves another two-year wait, fans will likely be displeased.
@rosesherity commented, “UR TELLING ME THAT I GOTTA WAIT 2 YEARS TO SEE THE WAR #HouseOfThedragon.” @FutureHBCUPrez added, “Guess we will be waiting until 2026 for Season 3 #HouseOfThedragon.”
While House of the Dragon continues to build anticipation for its next installment, the recent finale has left viewers hoping for a more action-packed and satisfying Season 3.
