House of the Dragon season 3 is now in production, so we're ♋one step closer to returning to Westeros in the next installment of the Game of Thrones prequel series.

The 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:House of the Dragon season 2 ending laid the groundwork for big things to come, and it seems like we'll be thrown straight back into the action with a 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:"beastly" battle from George R.R. Martin's source material in the blood൲y Targaryen civil war.

HBO is still keeping many of the new season's official details under wraps, but thanks to Martin's Fire & Blood, we still have a pretty good idea about how things might go down as the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Team Black vs Team Green conflict continues to escalate. We've got your complete guide to House o♔f the Dragon season 3 right here, from plot details to a list of every confirmed cast member and 🔥quotes from Martin and showrunner Ryan Condal.

House of the Dragon season 3 release date speculation

House of the Dragon seas♈on 3 doesn't currently have a release date.

However, filming has officially begun on the new episodes. "House of 𝓰the Dragon 🍸is back in production," Emma D'Arcy shared in a video to mark the news, which you can watch below. "Here we are on day one of season 3. Action."

With that rough timeline at hand, it seems that House of the Dragon season 3 is continuing with the pattern followed by previous seasons. Between season 1 and season 2, there was a gap of two years, which means that itꦬ's likely we won't see new episodes until summer 2026.

We will have some more Thrones before then though – A🥂 Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is currently🔯 filming, and we've even had a first-look image.

Is House of the Dragon season 3 the final season?

No, House of the Dragon season 3 won't be the final season – 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:but season 4 will. Showrunner ✤Rꦍyan Condal confirmed that things will wrap up after four seasons in a press conference after the season 2 finale.

Whil♐e we won't get into book spoilers, there are some huge battles on the way. Given the pace of the show so far, our view is that two more seasons seems liꦦke the ideal number to get to the end of this story.

House of the Dragon season 3 cast

Unlike season 1, the House of the Dragon cast stayed pretty stable throughout the second season. There were some big casualties, mind – 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:including Eve Best's Rhaenys and some of the younger Targaryens (thanks to 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Blood and Cheese, need we say more?).

This all means we have a pretty solid idea about who might appear in the third season. We also have some new arrivals in the third outing as well, including 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:James Norton a♒ppearing as Ormund Hightowe♏r, after he was name-drꦬopped at the end of the ♔second season.

Just as filming kicked off too, the show confirmed two more Northmen would be joining in♔ the third season, with one of them playingꦬ an iconic Game of Thrones charac💦ter.

House of the Dragon season 3 plot speculation

The se🐻ason 2 finale of House of the Dragon set up some very key plot points to resolve when it returns. The main narrative thread was all leading to the big battle on the way across 💎Westeros. From where we leave things, Rhaenyra has the clear advantage thanks to her dragonseeds. This means, that after Daemon bent the knee, she has seven dragons (potentially eight if Rhaena manages to secure Sheepstealer).

Her fighters are preparing to make the approach on King's Landing where Alicent has told them that they'll be allowed in to take control of the city. However, we're not totally sure that it will all go as smoothly as that... In the final moments we see Aegon and Larys heading out of the city, Helaena all but agreeing to mount her dragon, and the Tyland Lannister'🌱s new fleet on their way.

Aemond and Vhagar have their eye on Harrenhal too, and we 💛know better than to bet against Vhagar...

Game of Thrones author George R.R. Martin (who also penned House of the Dragon's source material, Fire & Blood) seemingly has some issues with what's to come, though. "There are larger and more toxic butterflies to come, if House of the Dragon goes ahead with some of the changes being contemplated for seasons 3 and 4…" 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:he wrote in a now-deleted blog post (which contains a possible major spoiler🅘🍷 for the new season).

So far, one of the only things we know for sure about House of the Dragon season 3 is that Rhaenyra will have a weapon. At least, that's what actor Emma D'Arcy i🐽s pushing for, as they explained in the podcast on December 11.

"The petition I’ve put in is I want a weapon. Like it’s getting ridiculous. I don’t even mind if it’s like a little dagger, a short sword. I don’t really care. All the men in the show don’t have to worry about where they put their han𝕴ds because they’re constantly holding the pommel of their sword. That obviously sounds like innuendo and you can do with that what you will but that is true. And all the rest of us are going, 'Where do we put our fucking hands?' Anyway, next year one🐓 hand is going to be taken care of. That’s what I want," they said.

The third season is also due to begin with a bang, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:depicting a major battle in its opening ℱepisode. HBO‘s head of drama series and films Francesca Orsi confirmed it will start with The Battle of the Gullet. "I&rওsquo;m really excited. I think you’re going to be in for a great surprise on how we start the [season] with an exciting battle," said Orsi to .

Is there a House of the Dragon season 3 trailer?
