'House of the Dragon' Renewed for Season 3
Winter is coming and so is a third season of House of the Dragons. Before even a single Westerosi knight has been beheaded, poisoned or burned alive in Season 2 of the Game of Thrones prequel series, HBO has already ordered another season of bloody mayhem. Season 2, which will premiere on June 16, 2024, continues the journey of the Targaryen power struggle laid out in Season 1 and seems to be headed towards all out war between the "Blacks" and the "Greens," two different alliances with different rulers aimed for the Iron Throne.
While little is known about Season 3 (we don't even know who survives Season 2), it will presumably continue the narrative that George R. R. Martin has laid out in his historical annals of the Targaryen dynasty, Fire & Blood. It's still early days, but here is everything we do know about the upcoming Season 3 of House of the Dragon:
Was House of the Dragon renewed for Season 3?
Yes! House of the Dragon will be back for a third season. The show was renewed ahead of the Season 2 premiere on June 13, 2024, a sign that HBO believes in the series.

What is the release date for Season 3 of House of the Dragon?
We're still a long way off from the release of Season 3, which was only announced in June 2024. There was a two year gap between Seasons 1 and 2 though, so it seems likely we wouldn't see Season 3 until late 2025/early 2026.
Who is in the House of the Dragon Season 3 cast?
No casting choices have been announced for Season 3. Presumably some of the Season 2 cast will return, BUT many of them are unlikely to survive this season. The show has also recast key characters as they age, so depending on the period of time covered, we could see some key roles played by new actors.

What is House of the Dragon about?
The HBO original series tells the story of the House Targaryen. The program is set 200 years before the events of Game of Thrones and examines the predecessors to Daenerys, the Dragon Queen.
How many episodes are in House of the Dragon Season 3?
The length of Season 3 has yet to be announced. Since Season 1 consisted of 10 episodes and Season 2 will be 8 episodes, it's likely that Season 3 will be in that range.
What will happen in Season 3 of House of the Dragon?
It's hard to say exactly what will happen in Season 3. While this series is based on Fire & Blood by George R. R. Martin, the series does take some liberties with the original material. We also don't know where Season 2 will end, so we'll have a better idea of what comes next once we see all of Season 2.
