The Targaryen fireIt’s burning bright, and the House of the Dragon isn’t cooling down anytime soon. HBO’s epic has been renewed for a third season, even before Season 2 ended. So, what’s next for the dragon-flaming Targaryen saga? We’ve got the details on what Season 3 could bring, from release dates to potential storylines — and let’s just say the battle for the Iron Throne is about to get nastier.

The Dance Continues: What’s Season 3 About?

Season 3 of House of the Dragon keeps the Targaryen civil war burning! Once friends Rhaenyra and Alicent now lead Team Black and Team Green – seasoned rivals ready for battle. As the war heats up, the actual dance begins!

Showrunner Ryan Condal confirmed that the series will end in a fourth season. But first, Season 3 will jump back into the fray as the dance spans several brutal years. According to George RR Martin’s Fire & Blood lore, the conflict would last three years – making it likely that Season 3 will delve deep into the battles and betrayals that turn the Targaryen conflict into an all-out bloodbath.

However, the plot details are anyone’s guess. The cast has been tight-lipped, even hinting at their mysteries. At this year’s New York Comic Con, Matt Smith (Daemon Targaryen) admitted “I haven’t heard skin or hair” about any Season 3 script yet. Meanwhile, Fabien Frankel (Criston Cole) teased that he’s “heard some things that I couldn’t possibly share here.” So, the secrecy is as thick as the Targaryen’s sense of revenge.

Targaryen Cast: Who’s Coming Back?

Character survival i House of the Dragon is never guaranteed. When the Dragon Dance really gets going, key players may need to be included. Still, at least initially, we expect the main cast to stick around. Fans can expect to see Emma D’Arcy (Rhaenyra), Matt Smith (Daemon), Olivia Cooke (Alicent) and Tom Glynn-Carney (Aegon II) back in action.

The cast’s return was confirmed, but script delays and a tricky timeline leave the cast themselves guessing. Frankel joked that “the longer they take,” the longer he and the cast have to “not read anything for a while.” It’s safe to say fans are eagerly hoping for fewer surprises — at least behind the scenes.

Season 3 Release: When Can We Expect It?

If the gap between seasons 1 and 2 (a full two years) is any indication, it may be a minute before we see dragons on screen again. The crew aims to begin filming in early 2025, making a 2026 release more likely than next year. But fans are still waiting for a faster turnaround. As the cast hinted, delays are less about production issues and more about taking time to create a worthy sequel.
