Last week’s House of the Dragon ended with Alicent Hightower (Olivia Cooke) discovering that her daughter Helaena Targaryen (Phia Saban) had been hiding a pregnancy and with Ormund Hightower (James Norton) encouraging young Daeron Targaryen (Benjamin Evan Ainsworth) to murder an innocent man. Elsewhere, Rhaenyra (Emma D’Arcy) is struggling to manage an impoverish King’s Landing, while Daemon (Matt Smith) has discovered that his own daughter Rhaena (Phoebe Campbell) is the mysterious rider of Sheepstealer. What’s going to happen next on the dramatic HBO show?
House of the Dragon Season 3 delves into the some of the most devastating and dramatic events of the Targaryen civil war that George R.R. Martin calls the “Dance of the Dragons.” Even if fans of Martin’s Fire & Blood think they know what’s coming, House of the Dragon continues to shock, awe, and thrill its audiences with weekly twists and non-stop pyrotechnics.
