Game of Thrones may be done, but House of the Dragon remains to have everything people like about GoT, and the show seems to be coming along nicely.
Just in, Emma D’Arcy announces the start of production for season 3 of HOTD, and she’s dressed in her full Rhaenyra garb. Check this out:

We don’t know exactly what to expect with the next season of House of the Dragon, but rumors have been going around that Season 3 will adapt four major story events from the book Fire and Blood. It’s not clear what those events will be, but book-readers know that there are several key events that transpired in the Targaryen Civil War—from fantastical dragon battles to sides getting betrayed by comrades—all the juicy Thrones drama that people love about the franchise.
Admittedly the second season had received some flak from fans and author George R.R. Martin himself when it came to what the show had chosen to adapt and scrap from the original story; but I do think that the series as itself has been pretty solid so far, and the spectacle episodes including the Battle at Rook’s Rest and the Red Sowing have been nothing short of spectacular.
I just hope that showrunner Ryan Condal manages to constantly deliver with Season 3 because it’s honestly exhausting having to hear from nitpickers who try to make every little thing about the House of the Dragon series sound like the biggest problem.
At this rate, it looks like the next season of HOTD is going to come out in 2026.
