House of the Dragon season 3 is definitely on the way, though production progress might be slower than we'd hope.

Speaking at New York Comic Con, three of the stars gave some less than promising updates on the upcoming season of HBO's hit fantasy show.

"Not a jot, not a letter," Tom Glynn-Carney, who plays Aegon Targaryen, said when asked if he'd seen a script for season 3 (H/T Variety). "The longer they take, the longer we don't have to read anything for a while."

"I've not heard hide nor hair," Daemon Targaryen actor Matt Smith added. "I don't know about you guys. I've not heard a thing – have you?" he asked co-star Fabien Frankel, who plays Ser Criston Cole.

Frankel's answer was slightly more promising. "I've heard some things that I couldn't possibly share here," he commented.

Recently, A Song of Ice and Fire scribe George R.R. Martin made headlines when he took to his Not a Blog page to share his concerns over season 3 of the show, citing changes to his source material and their inevitable butterfly effects.

"There are larger and more toxic butterflies to come, if House of the Dragon goes ahead with some of the changes being contemplated for seasons 3 and 4…" he wrote in his now-deleted post.

Before season 3, though, there's another Game of Thrones spin-off on the way – A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, which is due for release in 2025.
