House of the Dragon finally returns to HBO this weekend, and viewers already have some good news about the show’s future. The cable network has renewed the fantasy drama series for a third season.
Based on George R.R. Martin’s Fire & Blood, the House of the Dragon series is set 200 years before the events in Game of Thrones and follows the House Targaryen, which is divided into two factions that both want to rule. The factions are led by Prince Daemon Targaryen (Matt Smith) and Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen (Emma D’Arcy).
The cast also includes Olivia Cooke, Rhys Ifans, Steve Toussaint, Eve Best, Fabien Frankel, Matthew Needham, Sonoya Mizuno, Tom Glynn-Carney, Ewan Mitchell, Harry Collett, Bethany Antonia, Phoebe Campbell, Phia Saban, and Jefferson Hall. Joining for season two are Abubakar Salim, Gayle Rankin, Freddie Fox, Simon Russell Beale, Clinton Liberty, Jamie Kenna, Kieran Bew, Tom Bennett, Tom Taylor, and Vincent Regan.
Francesca Orsi, Executive Vice President, HBO Programming, Head of HBO Drama Series and Films, said the following about the renewal of House of the Dragon:
“George, Ryan, and the rest of our incredible executive producers, cast, and crew, have reached new heights with the phenomenal second season of House of the Dragon. We are in awe of the dragon-sized effort the entire team has put into the creation of a spectacular season two, with a scope and scale that is only rivaled by its heart. We could not be more thrilled to continue the story of House Targaryen and watch this team burn bright again for season three.”
The premiere date for season three of House of the Dragon will be announced later.
