King Aegon II Actor Tom Glynn-Carney Explains Big ‘House of the Dragon’ Season 3 Tease

Actor Tom Glynn-Carney, portraying Aegon the usurper (also known as King Aegon II) in “House of the Dragon,” has shared some hints about his character’s development in Season 3 of the Game of Thrones prequel series. He didn’t disclose specifics, but suggested that Aegon might experience changes, given his challenging circumstances during the Dance of Dragons.

The second season of “House of the Dragon” concluded a while back, and to label its ending as merely a cliffhanger would be an understatement. It’s clear that Aegon’s character arc will change significantly due to his own greed and incompetence. In Season 2, he struggled to gain respect. The upcoming Season 3 may find him merely trying to stay alive, as the Targaryen clan in King’s Landing views Aemond as their new leader. However, these are mere assumptions, considering the significant deviations from the books in the series, and nothing can be definitively predicted in HBO’s captivating fantasy saga.

Information regarding Season 3 is primarily kept secret. However, as reported by Screen Rant, Glynn-Carney hinted at some details during the Golden Globes red carpet event, stating:

He has moved onto a new phase in his life. From what I can tell, he appears to be a more determined and focused character than Aegon we’ve known before. Since I haven’t had a chance to review the season 3 scripts yet, I can’t say for certain what the writers have planned, but I’m confident that there are interesting developments ahead. I’ve had a brief discussion about his storyline and how thrilling it will be to explore it further. I believe we’ll see a different side of him, which promises to be quite intriguing.

In Season 3, the actor discusses how the character’s journey will evolve because priorities have shifted significantly. The intriguing dilemma is whether he’ll receive leniency from his half-sister, Rhaenyra, or if she’ll carry out her threat to exact revenge (the season ended with Aemond struggling to control his massive dragon and Rhaenyra’s son, Lucerys, being brutally killed).

House of the Dragon’ Season 3 Remains a Mystery

It appears that there’s no information available about the release date for Season 3 of House of the Dragon, nor where it will air, be it HBO or Max. Not even the cast members, including Glynn-Carney, have any knowledge regarding the show’s return. However, Glynn-Carney did hint at a potential shift in his character’s trajectory, moving away from a more ominous path.

It’s clear that Aegon possesses the ability to rule effectively, but his ambition for the throne is equally evident. He yearns for approval and recognition from others, and when he doesn’t receive it, he becomes unpredictable. In essence, his situation is uncertain and potentially explosive.
