House of the Dragon lit up CCXP Mexico with the debut of its season three trailer, promising a darker, bloodier chapter in the Game of Thrones prequel saga.
Cast members Matt Smith, Olivia Cooke and Fabien Frankel joined fans in Mexico City on Saturday to tease the upcoming season.
Appearing via video, co-creator and showrunner Ryan Condal described the new episode as “the biggest we’ve done by no margin” dark, funny, action-packed, emotional and of course “it’s got lots and lots of dragons.”
The trailer featured Corlys Velaryon declaring, “All that’s left is for you to decide what you want out of this war,” while Ser Criston Cole warned, “Doom and ruin surround us.”
Smith teased “a lot of matches”.
He said season three aims to be “bigger, bolder, bloodier, more brutal, more dangerous.”
Reflecting on Alicent Hightower’s broken bond with Rhaenyra Targaryen, Cooke noted that “to hate someone, there has to be a passion that you have to set fire to.”
Frankel added that his character is now “driven to survive,” while Smith praised Daemon Targaryen’s defiance: “he just doesn’t give a f—: ‘I want to do what I want, how I want, when I want.'”
With dragons like Caraxes set to dominate the skies, season three promises to deliver the spectacle and intensity fans have come to expect when House of the Dragon returns in June.
