Why will House of the Dragon Season 2 have only 8 episodes?
According to a report by North Wales Live, the filming in North Wales is supposed to involve children, and they might be a part of some stunt work. Their source also revealed that Season 2 was reduced to 8 episodes instead of 10 due to a battle requiring young children to be carrying out dangerous stunts.
