A brand new House of the Dragon season 3 trailer is here, and it's a dark and brooding trip to Westeros.
The new trailer, which you can watch above, follows on the heels of the explosive first trailer, which teased the Battle of the Gullet.
In the trailer, the cost of fighting for the throne becomes clear. Rhaenyra is shown walking with bloodied footsteps, while a skull is seen burning in a fireplace. James Norton's Ormund Hightower is also shown boasting of his "holy purpose," and Aegon Targaryen warns he's going to kill his brother Aemond "or die in the attempt." Then, we see plenty of fighting, and, of course, dragons.
"Look to the sky. Doom and ruin surround us," warns Ser Criston Cole. "We will all become beasts before our end."
House of the Dragon adapts the bloody Targaryen civil war known as the Dance of the Dragons, a struggle for power between the blacks and the greens. It's adapted from George R.R. Martin's Targaryen history book, Fire and Blood.
This is our second trip to Westeros this year, following on from A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms (A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms season 2 is confirmed for 2027). Rest assured, though, that this isn't the end of House of the Dragon: one more season is confirmed to bring the story to its end.
Martin has made waves talking about this particular spin-off, however, making a (since deleted) blog post about "toxic butterflies" surrounding proposed changes to the story, then later telling The Hollywood Reporter his relationship with showrunner Ryan Condal is "abysmal."
House of the Dragon season 3 arrives this June 22 in the UK and June 21 in the US. While you wait, check out our guide to all the other most exciting upcoming TV shows headed our way.
