All the House of the Dragon season 3 news we’ve heard so far
House of the Dragon’s second season has come to an end by filling the chess board with pieces and meticulously moving each one into position. While that didn’t make for the most explosive season finale in Game of Thrones history, it should shape up for a fantastic third season.
To give you a preview of the events to come, here’s everything we know about House of the Dragon season 3, which HBO has already greenlit.
It’s definitely happening, and the announcement was made before season 2 even premiered. On top of that, creators Ryan Condal and George R.R.

For instance, we know that Daemon is back on Team Rhaenyra for real now, and we know that the pair of them — along with their newly anointed dragon riders — are setting off for King’s Landing in the hopes of taking it quickly via overwhelming force. Meanwhile, Team Green is all over the map. Alicent is committing treason, Aegon is hiding away with Larys, and Aemond is setting fire to anything in site. All of this while every non-Targaryen house in Westeros prepares for open war.
In other words, we’ve got the makings of a very exciting season 3.
