When Is House of the Dragon Season 3 Coming Out?

As a seasoned gamer of Westeros politics and dragons, I must say that the cliffhanger in the finale of House of the Dragon Season 2 has left me both exhilarated and desolate. The wait for Season 3 is longer than the Wall itself!


In a surprising turn of events, the second season finale of HBO’s “House of the Dragon,” its “Game of Thrones” spinoff, unfolded on Sunday evening in a manner that few fans had anticipated. While no specific spoilers are mentioned here, the conclusion of Season 2 has left viewers with a substantial cliffhanger, as every character appears poised on the brink of a pivotal narrative moment. With this finale, eager fans are already looking forward to the show’s third season, though they may have a wait ahead of them.

It’s exciting news that HBO has reconfirmed a third season for “House of the Dragon,” but unfortunately, details about the upcoming episodes are scarce at the moment. Production hasn’t begun on any new episodes and the cast hasn’t hinted at returning to set just yet. So, while we eagerly await Season 3, it looks like it’s still a ways off.

As a dedicated gamer, I’ve eagerly awaited the return of House of the Dragon since its first season aired in 2022. Little did I know that the production team was battling multiple Hollywood strikes and working tirelessly to deliver eight breathtaking episodes instead of the original plan for ten. The journey from filming start to season premiere spanned over a year, demonstrating the sheer scale and complexity of this epic series.

A point to ponder is the upcoming debut of HBO’s second “Game of Thrones” prequel series titled “A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: The Hedge Knight.” Production for this series is ongoing, and as confirmed by HBO during a recent showing, it’s expected to premiere in 2025.

It seems that the release of “The Hedge Knight” on HBO next year may delay the return of “House of the Dragon” on TV. If the speculation is correct and “The Hedge Knight” airs in 2025, it’s possible we might see “House of the Dragon” Season 3 as late as 2026.

At present, there’s no definite information regarding upcoming “House of the Dragon” episodes, so it’s difficult to predict what will transpire. However, I must caution that you should not anticipate seeing new episodes for about a year and a half from now.

According to George R.R. Martin’s book “Fire & Blood”, the series titled “House of the Dragon” takes place about 200 years prior to the events in “Game of Thrones“. In its second season, “House of the Dragon“, we find Westeros on the verge of a devastating civil war as the Green and Black Councils vie for power, supporting King Aegon and Queen Rhaenyra, respectively. New episodes of “House of the Dragon” air every Sunday at 9 p.m. ET on HBO.

The main cast of House of the Dragon features Matt Smith portraying Prince Daemon Targaryen, Olivia Cooke playing Dowager Queen Alicent Hightower, Emma D’Arcy as Queen Rhaenyra Targaryen, Eve Best in the role of Princess Rhaenys Targaryen, Steve Toussaint as Lord Corlys Velaryon, Fabien Frankel as Ser Criston Cole, Ewan Mitchell as Prince Aemond Targaryen, Tom Glynn-Carney as King Aegon II Targaryen, Sonoya Mizuno as the character Mysaria, and Rhys Ifans taking on the role of Ser Otto Hightower.
