House of the Dragon Schemes Its Way to Third Season

As a cinephile who has weathered the tumultuous seas of Westeros and beyond, I must say I’m both elated and apprehensive about the renewal of ‘House of the Dragon‘. The promise of another season brings with it a mix of anticipation and dread, much like the unpredictable nature of the Seven Kingdoms themselves.


The hit series “House of the Dragon” combines elements of dramatic intrigue, medieval lore, and subtle romantic undertones, with a potential third season on the horizon. On June 13, HBO announced the renewal for another installment of the “Game of Thrones” prequel, even before the second season’s premiere. As fans eagerly await the return of House Black versus Green, or House Red and Gold if one prefers a more blunt perspective, they will soon engage in heated debates over which house is least cruel and most politically astute to claim the Iron Throne. At this point, we can only speculate about what’s to come, but rest assured, there will be plenty of speculation!

When is it coming back?

As a dedicated cinephile, I’m eagerly anticipating the next installment of my favorite series, which might grace our screens as early as 2026. During a press conference on August 5, showrunner and co-creator Ryan Condal hinted that production is set to kick off in early 2025, culminating in season four (though it hasn’t been officially greenlit just yet.)

What has HBO said about the renewal?

“George, Ryan, along with our exceptional executive producers, actors, and crew, have outdone themselves in the amazing second season of ‘House of the Dragon,’ as stated by HBO’s Francesca Orsi in a recent press release. The team’s Herculean work has resulted in an outstanding season two, filled with grandeur and depth that is scarcely matched by its emotional impact. We are overjoyed to carry on the House Targaryen saga and eagerly anticipate the brilliance of this team as they prepare for season three. In the meantime, we can’t help but feel a mix of excitement and anticipation, much like the bittersweet taste of a Negroni Sbagliato.”

Are we finally going to see the Battle of the Gullet?

As a long-time fan of George R.R. Martin’s “Fire & Blood,” I can’t help but feel my heart racing with anticipation for the upcoming season three of “House of the Dragon.” Having followed the series since its inception, I have come to expect nothing less than extraordinary storytelling from the creative team behind it. Based on Ryan Condal’s recent comments, it seems that the much-anticipated sea battle we missed out on in season two will finally be delivered in the upcoming season.
