House of the Dragon season 3 release, cast plans, and what we know so far

As a fan who’s been navigating the tumultuous seas of Westeros for nearly a decade now, I can confidently say that the announcement of House of the Dragon season 3 has brought a fresh gust of wind into my sails! The second season may not have ignited as fiercely as its predecessor, but it’s undeniably set the stage for an epic third act.


The second installment of ‘House of the Dragon’ has concluded, much like a well-strategized game of chess, carefully placing each character and event into its designated place. Although it may not have set records as the most thrilling season finale in Game of Thrones lore, it promises to pave the way for an extraordinary third season.

As a dedicated fan who has closely followed the Game of Thrones prequel series since its inception, I am beyond excited to share what we know so far about House of the Dragon season 3. The fact that HBO has already given it the green light only heightens my anticipation. Here’s a sneak peek at what’s to come!

Is House of the Dragon season 3 happening?

Without a doubt, the event has been confirmed, and the announcement was made prior to the debut of Season 2. Furthermore, creators Ryan Condal and George R.R. Martin have mentioned that they intend to keep the series relatively short, around four (or slightly more) seasons. Given its popularity on HBO, it’s reasonable to anticipate at least one more season following Season 3 as well.

When will House of the Dragon season 3 release?

As a devoted fan, I’m speculating that House of the Dragon might grace our screens with its third season in 2026. Given the two-year gap between seasons 1 and 2, it’s logical to anticipate a similar timeline for seasons 2 and 3. To sweeten the wait, HBO is planning to unveil another Game of Thrones spinoff, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, towards the end of 2025. This should keep our Westeros cravings satiated until then!

What will House of the Dragon season 3 be about?

In summary, the closing scene of House of the Dragon’s second season provides some hints about the show’s forthcoming events. For one thing, Daemon has solidified his allegiance to Rhaenyra and they, along with their newly appointed dragon riders, are on a mission to capture King’s Landing swiftly by employing massive force. On the other hand, Team Green appears fragmented; Alicent is engaging in treasonous activities, Aegon is secretive with Larys, and Aemond is causing widespread destruction through arson. Meanwhile, all non-Targaryen houses in Westeros are gearing up for an open conflict.

In other words, we’ve got the makings of a very exciting season 3.

Should I read the book House of the Dragon is based on in the meantime?

As someone who has been an avid fan of George R.R. Martin’s works for over two decades now, I can confidently say that reading the Dance of Dragons chapters in Fire & Blood is a must-do for any Game of Thrones enthusiast eagerly waiting for House of the Dragon. While the book doesn’t reveal all the details the show will undoubtedly add, it provides a solid foundation to grasp the main events and characters that will be central to the new series.

Will Winds of Winter come out before House of the Dragon season 3?

As a dedicated fan, I can’t help but express my skepticism about The Winds of Winter making an appearance anytime soon. If I had any inkling that it might be released, I’d certainly keep quiet to avoid jinxing it! For now, let’s both maintain our optimism with a pinch of salt. It seems we’re in for the long haul, waiting either until the frost covers hell itself or the New York Jets (or even more improbably, the Giants) take home the Super Bowl trophy.
