Latest Updates on House of the Dragon Season 3

Production for Season 3 is underway, with set photos unveiling important locations.
Season highlights are expected to include Corlys Velaryon’s ship, along with the infamous “Battle of the Gullet.”
Filming may conclude by September, targeting a summer 2026 launch.

As fans eagerly anticipate the premiere of House of the Dragon Season 3, exciting new developments have surfaced from Westeros. Recent drone footage has leaked revealing familiar and critical set locations that fans recognize from both the original Game of Thrones series and the HBO prequel. Notably, there appears to be a sneak peek of Lord Corlys Velaryon’s renowned ship, known as the Sea Snake, which he later renamed “The Queen Who Never Was”in tribute to his late spouse.

The conclusion of Season 2 on August 4, 2024, has only intensified the anticipation for Season 3. Following its debut in June the previous year, the popular prequel was confirmed for not only a third season but also a fourth. Set within George R. R.Martin’s epic narrative from Fire & Blood, House of the Dragon chronicles the Targaryen dynasty’s turbulent fall and the ensuing civil war rooted in treachery and ambition. The impending season is poised to escalate the dramatic stakes following the explosive events of Season 2’s finale, as the Targaryens continue their legacy through bloodshed and fire.

Furthermore, additional images depict a significant vessel taking shape, strongly resembling Corlys Velaryon’s ship, “The Queen Who Never Was.”With production actively moving forward, these developments align with showrunner Ryan Condal’s earlier remarks regarding a planned start to filming in the first quarter of 2025. As anticipated, Season 3 is expected to commence with the gripping “Battle of the Gullet, ” noted as one of the bloodiest naval confrontations in Westeros during the Dance of the Dragons.

If current production timelines hold true, filming for Season 3 may conclude by September of this year, setting the stage for a summer 2026 premiere. In the meantime, fans can look forward to the upcoming spin-off A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, slated for a late 2025 release, which offers additional content to bridge the waiting period until the next chapter of House of the Dragon.
