House of the Dragon season three teaser

In the teaser, Aemond Targaryen sits on the Iron Throne after his brother Aegon was disfigured last season. It follows his mother, Queen Alicent Hightower, secretly leaving King’s Landing in a bid to surrender the city to her best friend-turned-rival Rhaenyra’s forces.

The teaser revealed that Rhaenyra has discovered new dragons to add to her army. This would be a disaster for Alicent as well as her family. The video teased large-scale battles, including seemingly the iconic Battle of the Gullet. In it, Rhaenyra’s son Jace flies his dragon against House Velaryon’s navy.

When will it air

The new season will debut in June this year. The upcoming season is set to be the penultimate. HBO confirmed a planned four-season run for the show. The fantasy drama series is based on author George R Martin’s Fire & Blood novel, which talks about the history of House Targaryen. It is set roughly 200 years prior to the events of Game of Thrones.
