House of the Dragon Season 3 trailer previews battle and returning cast
A new trailer for the third season of HBO’s House of the Dragon reveals dragons, fire, and blood, with the season opening on the Battle of the Gullet. The series is set nearly 200 years before Game of Thrones and follows the decline of House Targaryen’s rule. Season two ended with Rhaenyra declaring dragon war after Aemond’s destruction of Sharp Point, while Aegon II went into hiding in Braavos. The trailer shows that the battle season two set up will begin season three with a bang. Much of the main cast whose characters survived the second season are returning.
