This article includes significant plot revelations for House of the Dragon and Game of Thrones. Following the mixed reactions to some seasons of Game of Thrones, fans have eagerly awaited a compelling revisit to the realm of Westeros. To their relief, so far, House of the Dragon has (mainly) lived up to expectations. This spin-off series, derived from George R.R. Martin’s Fire & Blood novel, offers viewers a look into the decline of House Targaryen and the predicted civil war for the Iron Throne.
Despite not having official confirmation yet, the electrifying performances from breakout talents like Emma D’Arcy, Olivia Cooke, and industry veterans such as Matt Smith have made “House of the Dragon” a must-watch sensation, leaving fans eagerly anticipating Season 3. As we last saw, the stage was set for an impending war, so we wonder when Season 3 will premiere on Max, which characters might return, and what intriguing events could potentially unfold?
When Can We Expect Season 3?
Currently, as of April 2025, an official air date for Season 3 of “House of the Dragon” hasn’t been set. However, based on various reports, they reportedly started filming in early 2025. If we look at the production schedule for previous seasons, it’s possible that we might see more of “House of the Dragon” as early as Summer 2026 (or possibly even earlier).
It seems like there’s approximately a two-year wait between Season 2 and Season 3, similar to the break between Seasons 1 and 2. This waiting period has left some fans feeling frustrated, given that Game of Thrones used to air yearly with more episodes per season.
Which Characters Will Return?
It is anticipated that everyone who survived will reappear for House of the Dragon Season 3, as the cast has fared better than Game of Thrones when it comes to character deaths. While significant characters like Jaehaerys, Viserys, Rhaenys, Lord Darkly, Steffon Darkly, and several minor characters met their end in Seasons 1 and 2, most major players are still alive and causing trouble. Characters such as Rhaenyra, Alicent, Daemon, Aegon, Aemon, Cole, and the rest of the crew remain very much alive and at odds with each other.
New Characters
The character that many fans are eagerly waiting for in Season 3 is Daeron Targaryen, the youngest child of King Viserys and Queen Alicent. Unlike his other Targaryen siblings, Daeron is reported as being kind-hearted. It’s important to note that this Daeron Targaryen character should not be confused with the one appearing in the upcoming series A Knight of Seven Kingdoms, which will feature Henry Ashton, an actor known for his roles in My Lady Jane and A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder. Although we know Daeron Targaryen will be present in Season 3 of House of the Dragon, and he is a 16-year-old who has claimed a dragon, we are still waiting to find out which actor will portray him in the series.
In addition to the new characters, some well-known actors have been cast in their roles. James Norton, who starred in Greta Gerwig’s “Little Women,” is set to play Ormund Hightower, a relative of Alicent. Additionally, key figures from the Targaryen civil war, Ser Roderick Dustin and Ser Torrhen Manderly, will be portrayed by Tommy Flanagan known for his role in “Sons of Anarchy” and Dan Fogler from “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them,” respectively. As always, the upcoming season is expected to introduce a variety of unexpected characters, as well as those predicted in the books.
What Else Is in Store?
As reported by showrunner Ryan Condal, the script for Season 3 has been completed. Actor Tom Glynn-Carney added that while the books serve as a foundation, there are adjustments made along the way. Consequently, following the events of Season 2 finale, it appears we can anticipate the Battle of the Gullet in the next installment.
Viewers might well anticipate a major conflict between the Greens and Blacks in this season, along with other pivotal moments from the book like the legendary clash between Daemon and Aemond, and the dramatic collapse of King’s Landing. The show creators have made it clear that they intend to wrap up the series after Season 4. In light of this being the second-last season, we can only hope for an action-packed narrative.
All available seasons of House of the Dragon are streaming now on Max.
