We’re only two weeks into House of the Dragon Season 3 run on HBO and we’ve already bid adieu to several fan favorite characters, watched entire castles razed to the ground, and seen a new ruler take the Iron Throne. Who’s to say what could possibly happen next? (Well, technically showrunner Ryan Condal could.)
House of the Dragon Season 3 tackles some of the bloodiest battles and most dramatic deaths that took place during the Targaryen civil war George R.R. Martin dubs the “Dance of the Dragons.” The new season of the HBO hit opened with the ferocious naval incursion known as the Battle of the Gullet. Both Triarchy admiral Sharako Lohar (Abigail Thorn) and Rhaenyra’s (Emma D’Arcy) eldest son and heir Jacaerys “Jace” Velaryon (Harry Collett) perished in the chaos. Last week’s episode ended with still more major deaths. Rhaenyra sloppily executed Otto Hightower (Rhys Ifans) after taking the Iron Throne, Daemon (Matt Smith) beheaded Lord Jasper “Ironrod” Wylde (Paul Kennedy), and Aemond (Ewan Mitchell) murdered Sir Simon Strong (Simon Russell Beale) in Harrenhal.
