'House of the Dragon' roars back after a two-year break with Season 3, reigniting the 'Game of Thrones' saga in Westeros on Sunday night.
Season 3 Kicks Off with Battle
Building on Season 2's foundation, which teased the Dance of Dragons civil war, Season 3 launches with the Battle of the Gullet. Known in George R. R. Martin’s 'Fire and Blood' as one of the deadliest naval battles in Westeros, it pits Rhaenyra Targaryen's (Emma D'Arcy) forces against those of King Aegon II Targaryen (Tom Glynn-Carney) and Dowager Queen Alicent Hightower (Olivia Cooke).
Key Characters Return
- Rhaenyra Targaryen (Emma D’Arcy): As the late King Viserys Targaryen's heir, Rhaenyra navigates her claim to the Iron Throne while dealing with personal and political turmoil.
- Daemon Targaryen (Matt Smith): Estranged from Rhaenyra, Daemon's visions propel him back into the fray, pledging support for Rhaenyra.
- Alicent Hightower (Olivia Cooke): Alicent seeks peace with Rhaenyra, unaware of her son Aegon's escape.
- Aegon II Targaryen (Tom Glynn-Carney): Recovering from severe injuries, Aegon flees King’s Landing with Larys Strong.
New Faces in Westeros
- Hugh Hammer (Kieran Bew): A dragonseed riding Vermithor, aligning with Rhaenyra.
- Alys Rivers (Gayle Rankin): Mysterious with witch-like powers, advising Daemon.
- Sharako Lohar (Abigail Thorn): A charismatic naval leader with an eccentric edge.
Season 3 promises intensified conflicts and shifting alliances as the quest for power continues. With the return of familiar faces and the introduction of new players, the stakes are higher than ever in the battle for the Iron Throne.
