AHouse of the Dragonstar’sNetflixseries with a 100% Rotten Tomatoes score has gotten a season 2 renewal one year after the series originally aired. There are plenty of popular Netflix shows that have highly-anticipated upcoming seasons. Some of the more high-profile ones includeStranger Thingsseason 5, which will end the horror series, as well asThe Witcher, which has been confirmed for seasons 4 and 5 already. Given the number of originals the streamer produces, however,it’s not surprising when some shows take quite a whilebetween the confirmation and release of new episodes.

Some examples can be attributed to even the most popular series on the platform, such asSquid Gameseason 2 arriving over three years after season 1. Others can be applied to popular, yet comparatively smaller, shows on the streamer as well. For example,The Watcherseason 2will arrive in 2025, despite season 1’s premiere in 2022, while new seasons ofGinny & Georgiahave been released every other year.These long waits also apply to a show that was recently renewed, almost one year after it initially premiered.
