Set about 200 years before the events of Game of Thrones, House of the Dragon follows the rise and fall of a powerful family known for their dragons and tendency towards madness.
Co-created by Ryan Condal and George RR Martin, the hit HBO Max series was renewed for a third installment just days before its second season premieres in June 2024.
While Season 1 introduced viewers to the Targaryen family and Season 2 saw a few dragon battles, Condal admitted during an “Inside the Episode” special after the finale that Season 3 will focus on “total war.”
“Whereas this season was very much about the raids and the start of an early medieval war, Season 3 is definitely going to be about all-out war,” he revealed.
When will House of the Dragon season 3 coming out?
Although the exact date has not been announced yet, House of the Dragon season 3 will premiere in June 2026 and is expected to contain eight episodes.
