House of the Dragon Season 3: Everything We Know So Far

Send a raven to all who don’t know, because House of the Dragon season 3 is on the way. The Game of Thrones prequel series is getting another installment, and we’re here to deliver the latest news and rumors about its development ahead of its eventual debut.

Release Date and Production

No release date has been confirmed by HBO, but co-showrunner Ryan Condal revealed that the cast and crew are aiming to start shooting the third season “early-ish 2025”. If principal photography takes five months to complete, that would mean filming won’t wrap until July or August 2025. Based on the post-production phase of season 2, we wouldn’t expect House of the Dragon to debut until April or May 2026.

Cast and Characters

No official cast list has been confirmed yet, but we expect to see the return of several characters, including:

• Matt Smith as Daemon Targaryen
• Emma D’Arcy as Rhaenyra Targaryen
• Olivia Cooke as Alicent Hightower
• Rhys Ifans as Otto Hightower
• Steve Touissant as Corlys Velaryon
• Fabien Frankel as Criston Cole
• Harry Collet as Jaecerys Targaryen
• Tom Glynn-Carney as Aegon II Targaryen

What to Expect from Season 3

Season 3’s story brief hasn’t been unveiled yet, but based on House of the Dragon season 2’s finale, we can expect to see more action-packed sequences, including The Battle of the Gullet. Co-showrunner Ryan Condal has promised that it will be the biggest thing to date that they’ve pulled off, and they want to have the time and space to do it at a level that will excite and satisfy the fans.
