House of the Dragon has closed its doors for the season, but there’s a lot more dragon dancing to come. When that might be still remains to be seen — almost two full years passed between the end of season one in 2022 and the start of the sophomore season. Even if season three comes quicker than that, though, it’ll be a long time to wait to see the conclusion of the season-two finale’s tantalizing cliffhanger ending and everything else that happens next to this crazy, incestuous family and their fiery, bloody civil war.
Luckily, if you don’t want to wait, you’ve just got to consult the history books. House of the Dragon is based on Fire and Blood, author George R. R.
Martin’s faux history of the Targaryen dynasty. (The events are also detailed in The World of Ice and Fire .) We’ve already done a full overview that spoils the entire story as it happens in those books, but what, specifically, can we expect for House of the Dragon ’s third season? The show has already made some notable changes from the source material, but we can still use them as a guide for season three.
Assuming that House of the Dragon will have four seasons — which hasn’t been confirmed but feels about right given the rate it’s moving through the story — it’s not too hard to guess which major events show watchers can look forward to. It’s entirely possible (likely, even) that the show will pace itself in such a way that not all of these will be the subject of their own episode. .
