Take the Black: Is House of the Dragon season 2 in trouble?

The second season of House of the Dragon was going to be 10 episodes, now reduced to 8. What’s going on? Also, we talk through the Brandon Sanderson drama.

What’s happening in the worlds of sci-fi, fantasy, movies, TV and books? What isn’t happening in the worlds of sci-fi, fantasy, movies, TV and books?

That’s a long intro to say that the second season of House of the Dragon might be in trouble. Or at least, there are some changes happening behind the scenes. We talk through it all on the latest episode of Take the Black. Watch below!

We also dig into the drama surrounding fantasy author Brandon Sanderson, who was recently the subject of a very weird, very condescending profile in WIRED. Finally, we go over what we’ve been watching lately (John Wick forever!) and hold another of our famous WiC News Lightning Rounds.
