House of the Dragon season 3 is now at the halfway mark, and the fight for the Iron Throne is seriously heating up. Rhaenyra may have reclaimed her birthright, but Ormund Hightower is throwing a serious spanner in the works, and there's still the small matter of Aemond and Vhagar lurking somewhere around Harrenhal.

Where to watch House of the Dragon season 3
House of the Dragon season 3 is available to watch in the US on HBO, as well as streaming day-and-date on HBO Max.
In the UK, you have plenty of choices. The newly launched HBO Max is available for all your House of the Dragon needs, but there's always good ol' faithful NOW TV and Sky Atlantic should you have those in either your TV package or as part of a streaming subscription.
House of the Dragon season 3 episode count and is it the final season?
House of the Dragon season 3, much like the second season, consists of eight episodes. It appears we won't be going back to the tried-and-tested Westeros tradition of 10 episodes anytime soon.
Despite the behind-the-scenes issues affecting the show (including a falling out of sorts between showrunner Ryan Condal and author George R.R. Martin), HBO has renewed House of the Dragon for a fourth season. So, no, House of the Dragon season 3 is not the final season.
