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...

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).
