"The Prince That Was Promised"

 

Now we wait another two years for the final season!!!

"There'll Be No Doubt Who The Gods Have Chosen To Rule"

The season finale of House of The Dragon is upon us next week. See above for a (mildly spoilery) teaser of the episode.

Meanwhile, below, we have behind-the-scenes features looking at what has recently happened in the show:

"She Has Come To Do You Some Evil"

With only two episodes left in this season of House of The Dragon, tensions continue to ratchet up as plans unfold within plans and the Rightful Queen's hold on the Iron Throne is looking a bit shaky.

Up top we have a trailer for the penultimate episode of this season, while down below are spoilerific, behind-the-scenes features on this week's episode:

"The Patient Hunter Gets The Kill"

We're more than half way through season three and things aren't going well for Rhaenyra, the Rightful Queen!

Above you can see trailers for the next episode on House of The Dragon and the remainder of this season, while below are behind-the-scenes features:

"We Should Have Burned Them When We Had The Chance"

There are many great programmes on television at the moment, but nothing tops this season of House of The Dragon.

See above for the trailer for episode five, while below are the usual, spoilerific behind-the-scenes features:

"Uneasy Lies The Head That Wears a Crown"

Trailer above for episode four of this season of House of The Dragon, with a couple of spoilerific "making of" pieces below:

Hail Queen Rhaenyra, Rightful Heir To The Iron Throne!

In the next episode of House of The Dragon: "All eyes now look to Queen Rhaenyra."

And below, we have a couple of spoiler-filled, behind-the-scenes, looks at the making of this week's episode:

HOUSE OF THE DRAGON IS BACK WITH A BANG!

All hail our rightful ruler, Queen Rhaenyra Targaryen (Emma D'Arcy)

The third season of House of The Dragon kicked off at the weekend, and really hit the ground running, with a massive sea battle, plenty of chaotic dragon action, and the expected quota of unexpected deaths.

Below you can see the new title sequence and then a couple of spoilerific behind-the-scenes features for the episode.

War Comes to Westeros in House of The Dragon

It doesn’t get bigger than this. Season Three’s production is the most impressive yet, spanning nearly a year of filming and setting a new world record. Deep dive into its epic scale with co-creator and showrunner Ryan Condal, Emma D'Arcy (Rhaenyra Targaryen), Olivia Cooke (Alicent Hightower), Matt Smith (Daemon Targaryen), and more. Season Three of House of the Dragon premieres June 21 on HBOMax.

I don't like the wait between seasons, but it looks as though this will have been worth it. And we only have a few more days until we find out...

Final Trailer For New Season of House of The Dragon

"Ultimate Victory is Non-Negotiable"

Season Two was the fuel. Season Three is the fire. Go behind-the-scenes of the new season with co-creator and showrunner Ryan Condal, Emma D'Arcy (Rhaenyra Targaryen), Olivia Cooke (Alicent Hightower), Matt Smith (Daemon Targaryen) and more. Season Three of House of the Dragon premieres June 21 on HBOMax.

Roaring Back Into Action After Two Tumultuous Years

I know George RR Martin has fallen out quite publicly with House of The Dragon showrunner Ryan Condal. He's also pretty much disowned the show for all the changes that have been made to his original story.

Yet, as a viewer who's not deeply embedded in Westerosi lore, I'm quite happy to simply enjoy House of The Dragon as its own thing.

Matt Smith and Emma D'Arcy are never less than magnificent on screen, and are delightfully mischievous as the faces of the fascinating and twisted Targaryen family.

If I have a problem with the series, it's the epic wait between seasons (Season two ended on August 5, 2024, and this next season doesn't debut until June, so that's the better part of two years. It was a similar gap between seasons one and two, which certainly does the show no favours).
