If you’re wondering what to expect from season 3 of House of the Dragonthe good news is that we can make some safe bets! And when I say safe, I mean that in Westeros, nothing is exactly safe. Get ready for more fire, intrigue, and that comforting feeling that no one is safe.
When Season 3 of House of the Dragon Will it premiere?
If HBO were a person, it would be that friend who always shows up late but never tells you they’re on their way. No surprises here: Season 3 probably won’t be released until 2026. Considering filming is set to begin in late 2024, that means we have plenty of time to speculate, grieve, and rewatch previous seasons while sipping our favorite conspiracy tea.
And if you’re worried about a dragon void in your life, don’t worry! In 2025, HBO will release The Knight of the Seven Kingdomsanother spin-off of game of Thrones to keep the fire burning.
What to Expect from the Story of Season 3?
Let’s face it, in Westeros, things are never resolved with a simple peaceful conversation. Alicent may even try to take over King’s Landing in a civilized manner, but let’s be honest: where’s the fun in that? If there’s one thing we’ve learned from this, House of the Dragonis that dragons are not meant to sit still. Rhaenyra has seven of them ready for battle, and peace seems as likely as a quiet marriage in the Targaryen family.
Who’s Back in the Cast?
Get ready to see those familiar faces you love (or hate) so much again. Matt Smith will continue to shine as Daemon Targaryen, Emma D’Arcy returns as Rhaenyra I Targaryen, and Olivia Cooke returns as Alicent Hightower, among others. It’s like a family reunion, only with more fire and less pudding for dessert.
And of course, Westeros always surprises us with some new faces, possible flashbacks and who knows, even the return of characters who have already left. Because, let’s face it, in game of Thronesdeath is never the end.
And the Filming? How is it going?
Matt Smith has given us the good news that filming is set to begin in late 2024. Now, before you start biting your nails in anticipation, remember: filming in Westeros takes time. If the previous season took five months to film, we can expect this new season – especially if it returns to the 10-episode format – to take even longer. In other words, buckle up and prepare for a long wait.
Summary for those in a hurry:
- The 3rd season of House of the Dragon is expected to premiere in 2026.
- The story promises more epic conflicts, with Rhaenyra and her seven dragons taking center stage.
- The main cast is back, including Matt Smith and Emma D’Arcy.
- New cast additions and possible flashbacks are expected.
- Filming is expected to begin in late 2024 and could last several months.
- By 2026, we will have The Knight of the Seven Kingdoms to fill the void.
