House of the Dragon Season 3: Episode List & Schedule

Like the previous installment, Season 3 will consist of eight episodes dropping every week on Sunday. This rollout gives fans time to savor each chapter while fueling discussion, theories, and speculation between episodes.

To help you keep track of the Targaryen civil war, here’s a complete list of episodes and their scheduled release dates.

Episode Number	Release Date
Episode 1	June 21, 2026
Episode 2	June 28, 2026
Episode 3	July 5, 2026
Episode 4	July 12, 2026
Episode 5	July 19, 2026
Episode 6	July 26, 2026
Episode 7	August 2, 2026
Episode 8	August 9, 2026

Season 3 is expected to pick up in the immediate aftermath of the major events that closed out Season 2, with the Dance of the Dragons escalating into a full-scale civil war. The opening episodes will likely focus on both the Blacks and the Greens rallying allies across Westeros as they prepare for the Battle of the Gullet.

By the middle of the season, Rhaenyra will seize King’s Landing, seemingly tipping the war in the Blacks’ favor. But as betrayals mount and new alliances emerge, the balance of power could shift once again. While the Blacks grapple with the consequences of their victories, the Greens will quietly regroup and consolidate their strength, setting the stage for Rhaenyra’s eventual downfall.

The season finale will most likely end on a cliffhanger, as Season 3 builds toward the peak of the Dance of the Dragons.

House of the Dragon Season 3: Plot Details & What to Expect

Season 2 largely served as a buildup to the coming clash, but the story still has several major events ahead beyond the central conflict.

Showrunner Ryan Condal has confirmed that four key moments from Martin’s Fire & Blood have been adapted for the screen, though he did not specify which ones. Fans widely expect these to include the Battle of the Gullet, the Fall of King’s Landing, the First Battle of Tumbleton, and the Fall of Dragonstone. Together, these events point to some of the most explosive developments still to come in the series.

In a more recent interview with Entertainment Weekly, Condal called the premiere “the craziest episode of television ever made,” clearly referring to the Battle of the Gullet, one of the bloodiest naval conflicts in Westeros.
