House of the Dragon is the second series in the adaptation of George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire franchise and the first Game of Thrones spin-off.

New cast members announced for Season 3 include Tommy Flanagan as Ser Roderick Dustin, Dan Fogler as Ser Torrhen Manderly, and James Norton as Ormund Hightower.

House of the Dragon marked the first spin-off in the Game of Thrones franchise, and the series received positive reviews. However, author George R.R. Martin criticized the changes in Season 2.

Although Martin praised House of the Dragon Season 2's "magnificent" beginning, the author later posted a blog review in late August 2024 to address "everything that's gone wrong with House of the Dragon." He published a follow-up several days later in early September, criticizing the adaptation and the character omissions and changes. In a new interview with Entertainment Weekly, House of the Dragon showrunner Ryan Condal addressed his criticism for the first time.

"It was disappointing," Condal admitted about Martin's words. "I will simply say I've been a fan of A Song of Ice and Fire for almost 25 years now, and working on the show has been truly one of the great privileges of, not only my career as a writer,...

House of the Dragon Season 3 is now officially in production, and HBO has confirmed it will be adding two major cast members to the crew. The Game of Thrones prequel, which stars Matt Smith, Emma D’Arcy, and Olivia Cooke, is expected to return on the cable channel sometime in 2026. The ensemble cast has officially expanded once again, adding new names that are no strangers to participating in major franchises.

On Monday morning, HBO announced that House of the Dragon Season 3 has commenced production, with Tommy Flanagan (Sons of Anarchy) and Dan Fogler (Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them) cast in the series as Ser Roderick Dustin and Ser Torrhen Manderly, respectively. The two actors join the recently-announced James Norton, who makes his debut as Ormund Hightower in the impending third season.

¡Dracarys! El rodaje de la tercera temporada de la serie original de HBO La casa del dragón ha comenzado en el Reino Unido y la cosa está que arde (literalmente).

Basada en Fuego y Sangre, de George R.R. Martin, la serie se ambienta 200 años antes de los acontecimientos de Juego de Tronos y cuenta la historia de la Casa Targaryen. La tercera temporada, que constará de ocho episodios (al igual que la anterior), será la penúltima y nos llevará de lleno a los preparativos de la esperada Batalla del Gaznate.

Entre el reparto que regresa en esta tercera temporada no pueden faltar Emma D’Arcy como Rhaenyra, Matt Smith como Daemon Targaryen y Olivia Cooke como Alicent Hightower. También repiten, entre otros, Steve Toussaint, Rhys Ifans, Fabien Frankel, Ewan Mitchell, Tom Glynn-Carney, Sonoya Mizuno, Harry Collett, Bethany Antonia, Phoebe Campbell, Phia Saban, Jefferson Hall,...

The cast of HBO’s House of the Dragon is back in front of the cameras in the United Kingdom for its next season.

The fantasy drama series has started filming season three, which will once again consist of eight episodes.

In addition, the show has announced two actors for the new season: Tommy Flanagan (Sons of Anarchy) has been cast as Ser Roderick Dustin and Dan Fogler (Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them) as Ser Torrhen Manderly.

The production also announced its new season’s directors: Clare Kilner, Nina Lopez-Corrado, Andrij Parekh and Loni Peristere.

House of the Dragon began in 2022 and after two seasons, it has received praise for its production, story, and cast performances. And while not every moment from the series has been universally lauded, HBO can still consider this series a hit.

A spin-off coming from George R.R. Martin’s Game of Thrones universe, House of the Dragon currently has 18 episodes as of the time of writing, but more are to come in the near future.

Namely, we know that the series has been renewed for a third season, but we can now confirm that production on that third season has started, and that some new cast members have been added.

“House of the Dragon” Season 3 is officially in production, with two new cast members officially confirmed to join the epic HBO drama.

Both Tommy Flanagan and Dan Fogler will appear in Season 3. Flanagan will play Ser Roderick Dustin and Fogler will play Ser Torrhen Manderly. It was previously announced that James Norton would be joining “House of the Dragon’s” third season as Ormund Hightower.

HBO has also confirmed that the third season will be eight episodes, like Season 2. The first season of the show had been ten episodes. Showrunner Ryan Condal had previously addressed the episode count issue, saying at a press conference in August 2024, “I haven’t had discussions with HBO about it. I would just anticipate the cadence of the show, from a dramatic storytelling perspective, will continue to be the same from Season 2 on.”

“House of the Dragon” serves as a prequel to “Game of Thrones,...

Production has begun on Season 3 of “House of the Dragon.” Additionally, the HBO juggernaut has added two new cast members to the upcoming season.

Tommy Flanagan will play Ser Roderick Dustin, and Dan Fogler will play Ser Torrhen Manderly. Previously, it was announced that James Norton will play Ormund Hightower, a new addition this season.

A third season of House of the Dragon is on the way, with another spinoff, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, set to debut on HBO this year. There have been a number of Game of Thrones projects that have been scrapped, including a Jon Snow series, which Kit Harington has said is now on the shelf. “Currently, it’s off the table, because we all couldn’t find the right story to tell that we were all excited about enough,” Harington said. “So, we decided to lay down tools with it for the time being. There may be a time in the future where we return to it, but at the moment, no. It’s firmly on the shelf.” Although the Jon Snow spinoff is no longer in development, HBO’s Casey Bloys said he would be open to revisiting it down the line.

House of the Dragon season...

Tommy Flanagan has joined the cast of HBO’s fantasy drama series House of the Dragon for Season 3 in a key role.

Based on Martin’s Fire & Blood and set 200 years before the events of Game of Thrones, House of the Dragon tells the story of House Targaryen.

Flanagan will star as Ser Roderick Dustin, a battle-hardened warlord of the north who leads a large contingent of veteran soldiers known as the Winter Wolves into battle at the Dance of the Dragons to support Rhaenyra Targaryen’s claim.

Flanagan joins the previously announced new cast member James Norton, who will portray Ormund Hightower in the new season. In Martin’s books, Dustin and Hightower eventually face off on opposing sides of the battle. Dustin is also known as “Roddy the Ruin.”

The series stars Matt Smith, Rhys Ifans, Emma D’Arcy, Oivia Cooke, Steve Toussaint, Eve Best,...

Filming on the third season of House of the Dragon has either started or is about to start any minute. The crew is working feverishly to build sets; the other day, we saw a set for a huge ship, which will almost definitely be used to in the upcoming Battle of the Gullet. But that's not the only major event from George R.R. Martin's book Fire & Blood we'll see adapted in the next season of this Game of Thrones prequel series.

At long last, work is starting up on the third season of HBO's Game of Thrones prequel series House of the Dragon, with the cast having met just the other week to read through the new episodes. Steve Toussaint, who plays Lord Corlys Velaryon, posted a picture of himself at the table and revealed more than he meant to, including a character list of everyone appearing in the fourth episode. Kieran Bew, who plays newly minted dragon-rider Hugh Hammer, was a little more discrete, merely posting a photo of his name plate on his Instagram:

James Norton has been tapped to portray Ormund Hightower in Season 3 of HBO’s House of the Dragon, Deadline has learned.

Ormund, who was referenced in Season 2 but never appeared on onscreen, is then nephew of Otto (Rhys Ifans), cousin to Alicent (Olivia Cooke) and Gwayne (Freddie Fox) and the Lord of Oldtown. He is presently leading the Hightower forces in a march on King’s Landing to support his house against Rhaenyra (Emma D’Arcy).

Variety was first to report Norton’s casting.

Based on Martin’s Fire & Blood and set 200 years before the events of Game of Thrones, House of the Dragon tells the story of House Targaryen.

Well, there is indeed an Outlander season 8, though it comes with some bittersweet news. This will be the historical drama's final season. That means after all this time, we're going to say goodbye to our beloved Jamie and Claire, and this wonderful world we've been in since 2014. Goodbyes and endings are always hard, but everything great must come to an end. And as Jamie says, nothing is lost. Only changed.

House Of The Dragon actor Kieran Bew encourages all of us, especially men, to cry more in an hilarious short film. Here’s our review of Cry Like A Guy.

There’s still shame attached to the idea of men crying. Women are allowed, even expected to cry, but it’s somehow embarrassing if a man does, as if it’s some kind of weakness. Naturally, a lot of filmmakers have painstakingly crafted emotional, heartwrenching narratives where men have been allowed to cry on the big screen, hopefully making it easier for the men who are watching to cry too. Who doesn’t love a good cry?

Director, editor and VFX artist Ant Rubinstein’s short film Cry Like A Guy takes a different approach to this. The film opens with our host (and House Of The Dragon actor) Kieran Bew, admitting he’s a crier and he’s clearly proud of it,...

Liberty, Bennet and Bew play the dragonseeds, peasants who have become dragon-riders after Rhaenyra Targaryen arranged for them to try their luck at mounting the riderless dragons on Dragonstone. (Would that the dozens of other people who took a swing at it had their kind of luck.) Clinton Liberty uploaded a picture of the whole House of the Dragon crew together at the con on his Instagram:

Sure, the season two finale, ‘The Queen Who Ever Was,’ had its jaw-dropping moments—like Daemon’s epic dream and the Rhaenyra-Alicent showdown—but let’s be honest: it left us hanging harder than a dragon caught in a storm.

While it didn’t quite hit the high notes of Game of Thrones, House of the Dragon still has some blazing-hot episodes that reign supreme. Buckle up and prepare for a fiery ride through the best of the Targaryen saga!

Time is running out for Bruce Lee fans on Netflix to stream the acclaimed series Warrior. The series is set to leave the streaming platform this month.

Per Netflix, Warrior will depart Netflix on Nov. 14. The bad news goes beyond having the title removed from the platform, as it's also further confirmation that Netflix will not be saving the series after all. When Warrior was added to Netflix this past February, there were hopes in the fan base that the show would pull in enough viewership to have the streamer order a fourth season. Unfortunately, even with a 93% score on Rotten Tomatoes, the show didn't click well enough with subscribers for Netflix to pursue a continuation, coinciding with star Joe Taslim's recent comments that the show was officially finished.

D'Arcy is incredibly compelling onscreen and I can easily imagine them commanding the stage as well.

That said, the National Theater is an ocean away from where I live, so I doubt I'll be taking it in. But D'Arcy's House of the Dragon castmates live much closer.

The announcement that Outlander season 8 will introduce even more new characters makes me really worried about the show's ending. Even though Outlander season 7 hasn't finished airing yet, I'm already looking ahead to how Starz's biggest series will wrap up its epic, time-hopping drama. Based on Diana Gabaldon's Outlander book series, the show revolves around Claire (Caitrona Balfe), a nurse from the 1940s who is transported back to 1743 Scotland, and Jamie Fraser (Sam Heughan), a charming Highland warrior. While Claire and Jamie's relationship has had its ups and downs, I'm invested in their dynamic, above all else.

The series confirmed a few season 8 additions to Outlander's cast of characters, including Kieran Bew, who will play a retired British soldier named Charles Cunningham; Frances Tomelty, who plays Charles' mother, Eslpeth; and Carla Woodcock's Amaranthus Grey (via TVInsider). These characters sound intriguing to me, but, thinking of Outlander as a whole,...

Ulf White is a character newly introduced in House of the Dragon season 2 and his story in the show is only just beginning. Season 2 of House of the Dragon brought in many new characters and plenty of new dragons as the "Dance of Dragons" got officially underway. "Dragon math" became a real consideration for the Greens and Blacks in season 2, with the leaders of each faction realizing that the flying beasts would decide the wars between men. Criston Cole (Fabian Frankel) saw this firsthand at the battle of Rook's Rest.

With the death of Rhaenys (Eve Best) and Meleys, and the damage done to Sunfyre, Rhaenyra (Emma D'Arcy) realizes that her dragons alone will not be able to stop Vhagar if she and Aemond (Ewan Mitchell) decide to attack. So begins the Sowing, a series of violent introductions...

Rhaenyra’s (Emma D’Arcy) new dragonriders, Ulf (Tom Bennett), Hugh (Kieran Bew) and Addam (Clinton Liberty) adjust to life in Dragonstone. House Lannister knight Ser Tyland (Jefferson Hall) treats with pirates. Rhaena (Phoebe Campbell) continues her search for a wild dragon in the Vale of Arryn. Aemond (Ewan Mitchell), shook by the discovery of Rhaenyra’s fresh dragon army, tries to even the playing field. Daemon’s (Matt Smith) allegiances are decided. Alicent (Olivia Cooke) makes a choice for her family’s future.

According to showrunner Ryan Condal, “The final episode is such a great build for everywhere we’ve been in Season 2 and promising what’s to come.” Audiences are pushing back on that after the highly anticipated finale didn’t deliver on the action-based climax we were expecting.

Now that season 2 has ended, and the show has already been renewed for another instalment, fans can’t help but wonder what’s in store for House of the Dragon Season 3. Let’s find out.

House of the Dragon Season 3: Potential Release Date

Though HBO greenlit the third season of House of the Dragon before the season 2 premiere, fans still have to endure a long wait before they set their sights on the dragon dance. Each show in the series takes a long time to produce due to the huge...

“House of the Dragon” hit a Season 2 high in viewership with Sunday’s finale, which drew 8.9 million multiplatform viewers across HBO and Max, per Warner Bros. Discovery.

That’s up 14% from the Season 2 premiere night, which garnered 7.8 million viewers. However, it is down from the audience size for the first season finale of “House of the Dragon” in 2022.

After premiering with 10 million viewers in June 2022, “House of the Dragon” Season 1 hit its peak with Episode 2, reaching 10.2 million. Exact data was not made available for Episodes 3-9, but Episode 10 closed the season with 9.3 million viewers.

Warner Bros. Discovery attributed the season opener declines to a drop in linear viewing, as fewer viewers now watch on HBO’s cable channel. But on the flip side, the conglom reports that Sunday’s “House of the Dragon” finale has now led to the biggest streaming day ever for Max, both in the U.S.

Did you find yourself a little disappointed with the House of the Dragon season 2 finale? You weren’t alone on that front.

Season two’s final episode appeared to stop just short of some real action. While Daemon resolved his family issues and Rhaenyra and Alicent resolved…whatever it is they have going on, the Dance of the Dragons civil war appeared to be stuck in a holding pattern on House of the Dragon.

Still, the final five minutes of the season 2 finale do act as a sort of sizzle reel for the action to come in season 3 as we see several armies and navies advance across the Westerosi landscape to parts unknown. With that in mind, let’s take stock of all the various factions on the board,...

The House of the Dragon Season 2 finale is almost (officially) here.

In Season 1, House of the Dragon introduced us to Targaryen, Hightower, and Velaryon families — all hungry for a spot on or around the Iron Throne. The series, based on George R.R. Martin’s 2018 book Fire & Blood, is set about 200 years before the events of Game of Thrones. Without spoiling anything,...

Alicent (Olivia Cooke) is at the end of her rope and takes some time in the woods for some R&r while King Aegon II (Tom Glynn-Carney) is pushed to recover as soon as he can.

Spoilers for Episode 7 of House of the Dragon

While not much is known about how Targaryens are able to interact with dragons, it’s widely believed that braveness is one major key to taming the beasts. Although similar was the case with Kieran Bew’s Hugh Hammer, who successfully claims Vermithor, the second largest dragon in The Realm, it’s the next case that left many fans befuddled.

The penultimate episode further sees Ulf becoming the new rider of Silverwing, and even showrunner Ryan Condal didn’t have a firm explanation behind Silvering’s reasoning for choosing Ulf.

Unlike Hugh, Ulf wasn’t exactly the bravest of the Dragonseeds, who competed to tame wild dragons in order to strengthen Rhaenyra’s army. While Hugh successfully stands his ground and tames Vermithor,...

Hugh Hammer's actions suggest a more ambitious and pragmatic side, prioritizing personal desires over family needs. Bew's surprising interpretation reveals a darker side to Hugh, showcasing manipulation and agency in claiming his dragon. Hugh's willingness to harm a stranger for food in King's Landing hints at the potential danger he poses with control of Vermithor.

House of the Dragon star Kieran Bew suggests that Hugh Hammer's intentions may not have been entirely noble in the scene where he is chosen by the dragon Vermithor. Episode 7, "The Red Sowing," sees Hugh and other Targaryen bastards leaving King's Landing and traveling to Dragonstone at Rhaenyra Targaryen's invitation, with the opportunity to potentially claim Vermithor or Silverwing. Before officially becoming a dragonrider, Hugh waves his arm to grab Vermithor's attention before the dragon can kill a scared woman, who...

Queen Rhaenyra’s desperate search for Dragonriders led to a dangerous trial by fire, claiming countless lives. Yet, amidst the carnage, one person emerged, Hugh Hammer. A survivor of the ordeal and now the proud rider of Vermithor, Hugh carries the blood of a Targaryen princess.

His mother, Princess Saera, was a woman scorned by her father, King Jaehaerys, for her wild spirit and scandalous life. Now, as fate would have it, Saera’s son claims the legendary dragon was once flown by his grandfather, and fans believe the casting for this role has been absolutely perfect!

Warning: This article contains spoilers for the latest episode of "House of the Dragon."

Both "Game of Thrones" and "House of the Dragon" have cultivated fascinating relationships with their respective source material. The former infamously outpaced the publication of author George R.R. Martin's fantasy series titled "A Song of Ice and Fire," flying off a cliff like Wile E. Coyote once it exhausted the books at its disposal and forced to build the rest of its runway in midair flight ... and, yeah, you remember how that ended. The latter, meanwhile, came with the baggage of a thoroughly unconventional book to adapt. "Fire & Blood" is the furthest thing from a traditional novel, instead chronicling the feats of the Targaryen dynasty in Westeros from the perspective of an in-universe historian. Reliant on fictional secondhand sources and a mix of conjecture and personal bias, the author paints a broad portrait of historical events centuries after the fact.

Spoiler Alert !!!'House Of The Dragon' Season 2 Spoilers Ahead!

Although it is on the verge of concluding, House of the Dragon season 2 is still effortlessly continuing to leave fans at the edge of their seats with bombshell revelations like no other. Even the recently revealed episode 7, The Red Sowing, brought forward a surprise nod at one character that fans only know from the books: Saera Targaryen.

As unexpected as this surprise nod was, it came out through Kieran Bew’s Hugh the Hammer in one of the most awe-inspiring moments in the entire lore after he managed to tame the “Bronze Fury.” And as per what all the dots connect to, Saera is the very daughter of King Jaehaerys who went on to become a prostitute in the books.

This article contains spoilers for House of the Dragon season 2 episode 7 and details for Fire & Blood.

There’s just one episode left in House of the Dragon season 2, and while the Greens have the might of Vhagar and the unhinged Aemond Targaryen (Ewan Mitchell), the Blacks have just added some (literal) firepower to their team in the form of some new dragonseeds. Those who’ve read George R.R. Martin’s Fire & Blood Targaryen history will know the Red Sowing is an important part of the war, with Rhaenyra Targaryen (Emma D’Arcy) recruiting Targaryen bastards to her cause.

There have been some notable gaps in the dragonrider count recently, with the absence of Laenor Velaryon (John Macmillan) leaving Seasmoke riderless while Vermithor and Silverwing lurked in Dragonstone’s Dragonmount. Episode 7 “The Red Sowing” saw Hugh Hammer (Kieran Bew) claim Verminthor as his own during one of the show’s bloodiest scenes.
