HBO’s popular series ‘House of the Dragon’ has been renewed for a third season. The announcement comes just days before the premiere of the second season. The series, based on George R.R. Martin’s novel ‘Fire & Blood’, is set 200 years before the events of ‘Game of Thrones’ and chronicles the story of House Targaryen.
The second season boasts a large ensemble cast including Matt Smith, Emma D’Arcy, Olivia Cooke, Rhys Ifans, Steve Toussaint, Eve Best, Sonoya Mizuno, Fabien Frankel, Matthew Needham, Harry Collett, Tom Glynn-Carney, Ewan Mitchell, Bethany Antonia, Phoebe Campbell, Phia Saban, and Jefferson Hall. Newcomers for the season include Abubakar Salim, Gayle Rankin, Freddie Fox, Simon Russell Beale, Clinton Liberty, Jamie Kenna, Kieran Bew, Tom Bennett, Tom Taylor, and Vincent Regan.
The renewal of the third season is not surprising considering the critical success and high viewership of ‘House of the Dragon’. The series premiere in August 2022 drew the largest audience for any new original series in HBO history. The third season of ‘House of the Dragon’ premieres at 9 p.m. ET/PT on Sunday, June 16, and will air on HBO and stream on Max.
