HBO’s House of the Dragon has completed production for its highly anticipated third season. Filming concluded this week at Leavesden Studios in England after months of shooting.
The series is now entering post-production, with an expected premiere in summer 2026. HBO’s network head, Casey Bloys, previously hinted that the show would debut shortly after the Emmy eligibility cutoff in May, making June 2026 a likely release window.
Unlike the first two seasons, which featured international locations, House of the Dragon season 3 was filmed entirely in the United Kingdom. The new season will reportedly include eight episodes and is set to feature major events from George R.R. Martin’s Fire & Blood, including the iconic Battle of the Gullet.
Many familiar faces will return, including Matt Smith, Emma D’Arcy, and Olivia Cooke. The season will also introduce several new cast members, such as Tom Cullen, Joplin Sibtain, Barry Sloane, Adam Brown, and Annie Shapero. Fans can expect a mix of returning characters and fresh faces to bring new dynamics to the story.
Showrunner and co-creator Ryan Condal has confirmed that House of the Dragon will conclude with its fourth season. Season 3 is expected to set up the storylines leading to the series finale, continuing to explore the Targaryen dynasty and the battles for the Iron Throne.
The production’s completion marks a major milestone for HBO, signaling that the network is on track to deliver another visually stunning season for fans of the Game of Thrones universe. With intense political intrigue, epic battles, and dragon-filled action, House of the Dragon season 3 is already generating excitement worldwide.
