Still from House of Dragon S3E3

<p>Much like episode 2, this one also feels like a battle of emotions, words, and politics, far away from the dragons.</p><h3>What happens in episode 3?</h3><p>This week's episode revolves around things beyond Rhaenyra Targaryen's expectations. There are "mice" in the large, dark palace. She, who finally wants to be anointed as Queen, has been questioned to prove that King Aegon is dead. However, she still takes the throne. Then, she has to answer how things will move forward, as her kingdom is almost bankrupt, with no gold or food left. But before this, the episode begins with Daemon Targaryen (Matt Smith), standing with the three dragons. In front of him is Lord Ormund Hightower (James Norton), with fear on his face. He has been informed about what happened in King's Landing, and after Ormund agrees to bow down in front of the Queen, all Daemon has asked is - Alicent Hightower's youngest son, Prince Daeron Targaryen. And Ormund rightfully does it. But surely, Ormund, did something that no one ever thought.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Also read:&nbsp;</strong></p>

<h3>Rhaenyra is a Queen, but first, a Woman</h3><p>In episode 3, several scenes show the fear on Rhaenyra’s face and the insufferable pain she suffers. It’s especially painful for her to sit on the Iron Throne right after having her period. She is in pain, but all she has are questions, problems, and solutions that only she has to find. No one else. She has to prove herself at everything that she does, and when Lord Corlys calls her son's bastards after she refuses to accept his bastard son as his heir.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>But as things are crumbling down, she is a woman with principles and emotions, too. In House of the Dragon, Alicent and Rhaenyra have had one of the best exchanges, and in this episode, too, when Alicent is afraid, but she has that confidence, and Rhaenyra knows she has to appear strong, she still manages to ask Alicent how she ran the palace in King’s Landing.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><h3>&nbsp;</h3>

<h3>What works in this episode?</h3><p>In episode 3, the pain of Rhaenyra hits hard in several scenes. But with all that, what she has left is that she’s the Queen, and she carries it with all her focus and vulnerability.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>What works in this episode are the facial expressions and how well the scenes were shot, whether it was the opening scene of Daemon with Caraxes, Vermithor, and Silverwing behind him, or Rhaenyra’s scenes where she is sitting on the throne in pain, being questioned, distributing food, or even when she sees a mouse. This episode works with the well-shot sequences</p>

<h3>Where are things heading?</h3><p>&nbsp;</p><p>With its third episode, House of the Dragon’s next focus is on &nbsp;Rhaenyra’s fight with Ormund Hightower, who has deceived her by sending someone else in place of Prince Daeron. Not only this, but he has also captured Dragonstone near Tumbleton, one of the biggest moves by the Greens in this season. Now it will be interesting to watch where things head from here. For now, the first three episodes have mainly focused on the Blacks, and more specifically, on Rhaenyra and her return to King’s Landing. From here, the focus shifts to the Greens.</p>

The third episode of House of the Dragon is out, and it's all about the weight of the Crown that Rhaenyra is holding, and that too all alone. Read the full review here.

<p>If you were to pick one episode in <em>House of the Dragon </em>Season 2 which helps make the semblance of things, it has to be the recently dropped Episode 3 which helps make sense of the chaos, and confusion that follows both teams at war – the Blacks and the Greens. With both sides at err with their war choices, it’s difficult to pick a side and you find yourself at odds finding favour with any team at all times but this episode helps.&nbsp;</p>

<p>As calls for war grow within both factions with Daemon Targaryen (Team Black) and King Aegon II Targaryen (Team Green) leading the tirade for violence in the name of justice on several occasions, it is the women who show restraint and poise. Both Queen Dowager Alicent Hightower and Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen are seen giving in to reason even when choosing the path for death was much easier.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Key changes in the <em>House of the Dragon</em> Season 2 episode include Daemon Targaryen having flown on Caraxes (dragon) to Harrenhal to stake a claim. Ser Criston Cole (who is now the new Hand of the King) marching to Harrenhal to defend King Aegon II Targeryan’s “rightful” claim. Otto Hightower leaves King’s Landing after being removed from the King’s council (as was shown in episode 2) and Cole tries living up to the large shoes of the senior Hightower.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>What we loved in House of the Dragon S2 Ep 3: *Spoilers ahead</strong></h2>

<p>The scene between Queen Alicent and Princess Rhaenyra is nothing but magical. You love them or hate them but you can’t ignore how good it feels to see the two best friends sit, chat and cry together. Of course, there is the looming truth (that we audiences know about) that befalls them but will Alicent acknowledge it? &nbsp;That’s an answer we will have to wait for in the next episode or maybe later!&nbsp;</p>

<p><img alt="HOD" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="832431c4-b241-44d6-8395-236e726bce09" src="//cdn.wionews.com/sites/default/files/inline-images/HORIZONS%20%2852%29_1.jpg" /></p>

<p>The part where Rhaenyra cajoles Alicent to grasp and says, “There’s been a mistake,” to which Alicent shrugs away her hand and says, “There has been no mistake” wants to make you wail for their friendship and all that was lost to politics and the lust for the Iron Throne.</p>

<p>We are especially happy for what this would mean to Rhaenyra because now her resolve to claim her “rightful” stake on the Iron Throne would be unhinged and hopefully help the pace at which things are unfolding in season 2 of House of the Dragon.&nbsp;</p>

<p>We also get to see the young Rhaenyra who haunts Daemon on his doing (ordering a small child to get brutally murdered in his crib). Daemon can be seen losing his sanity, almost a poetic reference to the curse that runs in the Targaryen family (of suffering from mental illness).&nbsp;</p>

<p>Watching aunt and niece Rhaenys and Rhaenyra bond is also soothing. Rhaenys comes as the only voice of reason for Rhaenyra while all men around her cheer for violence and chaos. She explains how wars never make sense and at the end of it all, you never remember how or why it started. We love it when she tells Rhaenyra, “There is no war so hateful to the gods as a war between kin. And no war so bloody as a war between dragons.”</p>

<h2><strong>What could have been better in&nbsp;House of the Dragon S2 Ep 3:&nbsp;</strong></h2>

<p>The pace, the pace, the pace. It’s season 2 and the show is about the House of Dragons but we don’t see much of them honestly (just give us more dragon moments frankly). The dreary pace at which everything is unfolding in the show could have been better. Also, we need more <em>Game of Thrones</em> moments in the show which is a spinoff of the master series that hooked us through and through.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Don’t come at me with “The show’s ending was bad”, or “The last season of GoT was disappointing” because whatever was said and done, you couldn’t wait to watch the next episode after one was dropped. House of the Dragon misses evoking that sense of urgency. But we are ready to give it more time to marinate and get juicier.&nbsp;</p>

House of the Dragon Season 2 Episode 3 Review: A Toast To Old Friendship

<p>First time in the history of HBO shows, the <em>GOT</em> prequel series <em>House of the Dragon</em> has dropped two different trailers for season 2, urging fans to pick a side. Divided into Team Black and Team Green, there are two versions of the events that unfolded in the Dragon Land and makers want you to grasp the severity of the situation and pick a side before you stream season 2.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The two trailers dropped on March 21 and teased the season premiere on June 16. With some months left for season 2, makers want you to revise your story and pick between Rhaenyra’s black faction or Alicent’s green team.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>Everything to know about House of the Dragon season 2 trailers</strong></h2>

<p>The first trailer is about Team Black led by Rhaenyra, who claims to be the rightful heir to the Iron Throne. She along with Prince Daemon and their forces on Dragonstone wage a fight against Team Green for the Kingdom. The other trailer shows reasons why you should side with Team Green led by the King’s Landing team of Alicent, her father Otto and her children King Aegon and Prince Aemond.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Season 2 of <em>House of the Dragon</em>&nbsp;is expected to be more dramatic than season 1 since it will kickstart what we have heard all along on&nbsp;<em>Game of Thrones </em>– Dance of the Dragons, the Targaryen civil war which led to the downfall of the House of Targaryen.

<p>Meanwhile, in King’s Landing, young King Aegon is doubling down on his claim to the Iron Throne, which his half-sister Rhaenyra views as her rightful inheritance from their late father. There is also a glimpse of Winterfell in the new trailer. At the moment, it is under Cregan Stark.</p>

<p>The first character posters from<em> House of the Dragon</em> season 2 are a treat for the eyes as HBO’s <em>Game of Thrones</em> prequel comes back heavy.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The posters come with the words “All Must Choose” as both factions get ready for a bloodbath. What we do expect from the upcoming season is a lot of sudden deaths, murders and revenge as Team Green and Team Black are vying for each other’s blood after a climactic ending to season 1.&nbsp;</p>

Condal explained in the report, “Now we get to fall into the more traditional rhythms of storytelling and Game of Thrones. We've always talked about this particular tale, George [R.R. Martin] has too, of being a Shakespearean or Greek tragedy. This series is very much about a house tearing itself apart from within. Now that all those pieces have been set on the board, I'm really excited to tell the next chapter, to see what happens now that Viserys is gone and no longer keeping a lid on things."</p>

Finally! House of Dragon season 2 gets premiere date

<p>It appears there is one big upcoming production that will not be affected by the strike announced by Hollywood actors' trade union, SAG-AFTRA. The production in question is HBO's <em>House of Dragon</em> Season 2. The reason? The actors in the show are British and are working under contracts governed by UK's Equity, the performing arts and entertainment industries in the region. Equity members are not being legally allowed to strike in solidarity with their American counterparts. Equity shared its recommended guidance for the strike with its 47,000 members on Thursday, just before the strike was officially declared by SAG-AFTRA, adding: “Equity U.K. will support SAG-AFTRA and its members by all lawful means."</p>

<p>But then added, "A performer joining the strike (or refusing to cross a picket line) in the UK&nbsp;will have no protection against being dismissed or sued for breach of contract by the producer or the engager. Likewise, if Equity encourages anyone to join the strike or not cross a picket line, Equity itself will be acting unlawfully and hence liable for damages or an injunction."</p>

<h2><strong>What is<em> House of the Dragon</em> all about?</strong></h2>

<p>The show is a prequel to the epic fantasy TV series <em>Game of Thrones</em> which ended in 2019. The series is set about 200 years before the events of the original show. Like the story of Jon Snow, Arya Stark, Daenerys Targaryen, and others, 'HotD' also centres around a struggle for the Iron Throne, the seat of the monarch in the fictional continent of Westeros. But while the tussle for power in 'GoT' was between houses, in the new series it is among the Targaryens themselves. The ensuing conflict is called Dance of the Dragons, and was a civil war between different factions among the Targaryens that saw much of the realm reduced to ruin.</p>

<h2><strong><em>House of the Dragon </em>cast</strong></h2>

<p>Paddy Considine, Matt Smith, Emma D'Arcy, Milly Alcock, Rhys Ifans, Steve Toussaint, Eve Best, Sonoya Mizuno, Fabien Frankel, Olivia Cooke, Emily Carey, Graham McTavish, Matthew Needham, Jefferson Hall, Harry Collett, Leo Hart, Tom Glynn-Carney, Ty Tennant, Ewan Mitchell, Leo Ashton, Phia Saban, Evie Allen, Bethany Antonia, Shani Smethurst, Phoebe Campbell, Eva Ossei-Gerning star in the show's first season.</p>

<h2><strong>SAG-AFTRA strike is the second trade union strike in Hollywood this year</strong></h2>

It appears there is one big upcoming production that will not be affected by the strike announced by Hollywood actors' trade union, SAG-AFTRA. The production in question is HBO's House of Dragon Season 2. The reason? The actors in the show are British and are working under contracts governed by UK's Equity, the performing arts and entertainment industries in the region. Equity members are not being legally allowed to strike in solidarity with their American counterparts. Equity shared its recommended guidance for the strike with its 47,000 members on Thursday, just before the strike was officially declared by SAG-AFTRA, adding: “Equity U.K. will support SAG-AFTRA and its members by all lawful means." Also Read: 'Shame on them': SAG-AFTRA president Fran Drescher rips into Hollywood studios in viral speech But then added, "A performer joining the strike (or refusing to cross a picket line) in the UK will have no protection against being dismissed or sued for breach of contract by the producer or the engager. Likewise, if Equity encourages anyone to join the strike or not cross a picket line, Equity itself will be acting unlawfully and hence liable for damages or an injunction." What is House of the Dragon all about? The show is a prequel to the epic fantasy TV series Game of Thrones which ended in 2019. The series is set about 200 years before the events of the original show. Like the story of Jon Snow, Arya Stark, Daenerys Targaryen, and others, 'HotD' also centres around a struggle for the Iron Throne, the seat of the monarch in the fictional continent of Westeros. But while the tussle for power in 'GoT' was between houses, in the new series it is among the Targaryens themselves. The ensuing conflict is called Dance of the Dragons, and was a civil war between different factions among the Targaryens that saw much of the realm reduced to ruin. House of the Dragon cast Paddy Considine, Matt Smith, Emma D'Arcy, Milly Alcock, Rhys Ifans, Steve Toussaint, Eve Best, Sonoya Mizuno, Fabien Frankel, Olivia Cooke, Emily Carey, Graham McTavish, Matthew Needham, Jefferson Hall, Harry Collett, Leo Hart, Tom Glynn-Carney, Ty Tennant, Ewan Mitchell, Leo Ashton, Phia Saban, Evie Allen, Bethany Antonia, Shani Smethurst, Phoebe Campbell, Eva Ossei-Gerning star in the show's first season.

House of Dragon season 2 begins filming; set for 2024 release

<p>The trailer for HBO’s most awaited series, 'House of the Dragon’ is here and fans are already super excited to see what it has to offer. The series is a spinoff of the hit period war drama ‘Game of Thrones,'&nbsp;which first premiered in 2011. The prequel show is set two centuries before the War of the Five Kings and is based on the original writer George R.R.&nbsp;Martin's book 'Fire &amp; Blood' which will tell the backstory of House Targaryen, which is reduced to just two members by the time 'Game of Thrones' begins—Viserys (Harry Lloyd) and Daenerys (Emilia Clarke).&nbsp;</p>

<p>As the struggle for the iron thrones begins, the spinoff of 'GoT'&nbsp;may not be the last one on HBO. Up to this date, we have only had the adaptation of the ‘A Song of Ice and Fire’ from the book. But there are several sources of material by George R.R. Martin that can be developed into a television series.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The show’s co-creator, Miguel Sapochnik, in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, explains how ‘House of the Dragon’ might serve as the foundation for more future stories. Sapochnik said, "The Targaryens span both directions. So as a spine to other possible stories and spinoffs... this is a great place to start."&nbsp;</p>

<p>And this could be right, given the numerous characters introduced in the show, like that of The Targaryens, who may have plenty of opportunities for exploration, from Aegon's conquest to the Doom of Valyria.&nbsp;</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>As reported by Movieweb.com, HBO Chief Content Officer Casey Bloys said, "I also liked the idea of focusing on one family, and obviously the Targaryens have a lot of drama to go around. I also liked how empires can quickly fall - those are the types of conversations we are having in our own country, which I don't think is anything I would've thought we'd be talking about 20 years ago."</p>

<p>Meanwhile, ‘House of the Dragon’ is not the first spinoff of ‘Game of Thrones’ that was planned, but it is the first to be delivered to the audience. 'Bloodmoon' was the first spinoff from the ‘Game of Thrones’ series that was initially decided, and it would centre on The Long Knight. However, after a $30 million pilot episode, the Naomi Watts-starring television series was ultimately cancelled.</p>

<p>Last March, news about three ‘GoT’ spinoffs were reported to be in production, the first of which was ‘The Sea Snake’, which would focus on Corlys Velaryon, aka The Sea Snake. Steve Toussaint will be seen playing the character in the ‘House of the Dragon.’&nbsp;</p>

<p>HBO is also developing ‘Ten Thousand Ships’, which will follow the story of Princess Nymeria, a member of House Martell who built Dorne. The series is being written by Amanda Segel, who has given a few draughts to George R.R. Martin. Additionally, there are rumours surrounding a series called 'Flea Bottom’, to be based on the King's Landing Slums, a place where the poorest citizens of Westeros' capital city reside, which is also reported to be in development at HBO.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Meanwhile, actress Emilia Clarke last month confirmed that a spinoff series starring Kit Harrington's character Jon Snow was in the works. Therefore, don't be surprised if more spinoffs of Game of Thrones' expansion are announced in the future.</p>

Dragons are here, again! After the megahit HBO series 'Game of Thrones' ended in the year 2018, the studio is back with yet another thrilling series. The prequel series titled ‘House of the Dragon’, which has been in making for years now is finally ready for all the die-hard fans. On Thursday, the new trailer of the much-awaited series, based on the book 'Fire & Blood' by George R. R. Martin, was released and it's all about power, love, and at last - the Iron throne. The trailer starts off with a voice narrating, “What is this brief mortal life, if not the pursuit of legacy?” before showing off the dynasty of the House Targaryens with the dragon flying over the city. The clip starts with King Viserys Targaryen, lord of the seven kingdoms, played by Paddy Considine standing by the throne in the room as the different houses are bowing down for the king and his heir - his daughter Princess Rhaenyra played by Emma D’Arcy and the next frame shows Prince Daemon (Matt Smith), who's not looking happy seeing Rhaenyra, the king's firstborn as the heir. The trailer is full of conspiracies, Rhaenyra's struggle for the throne, fights, women's power, loss, and blood, “History does not remember blood, it remembers names,” the voiceover says. Watch the trailer here: Apart from the trailer, the makers have also shared an intense poster of the eight characters with a brief hint about their roles including Prince of the City. DaemonTargaryen, Viserys Targaryen, Alicent Hightower, Rhaenys Targaryen, Ser Criston Cole and others.

'Game of Thrones' prequel 'House of the Dragon' UK filming halted after Covid case

<p>While fans are waiting with bated breath for the 'Game of Thrones'&nbsp;prequel `House of the Dragon`, they can`t help but wonder what the show has in store for them. And HBO content chief Casey Bloys might have an answer!<br />
<br />
As per Variety, Bloys recently spoke about the upcoming series and other 'GOT'&nbsp;spinoffs in the works. Bloys told Variety that he has been surprised by the number of people who believe that there are multiple 'GOT'-related series in active production. For the record, `House of the Dragon`, a prequel that takes place 300 years before the events depicted in 'GOT', is the only spinoff that is real so far.<br />
<br />
'GOT'&nbsp;author George R.R. Martin is helping to oversee development on at least six other projects, including an animated series. Speaking about the forthcoming prequel series, Bloys said, "House of the Dragon is the only one shooting. All the other ones are in various stages of development. People may think we have 10 series shooting at the moment. There`s one that will be on the air in 2022. We`ll see how the other scripts come along."`House of the Dragon` is now filming in England, led by showrunner/executive producer Ryan J. Condal and director/executive producer Miguel Sapochnik, a `GOT` alum.<br />
<br />
Bloys did not give out any spoilers but he said he likes what he`s seen of the dailies so far."It looks spectacular. The cast that (Sapochnik) and Ryan have put together looks good," he said. The prequel series is based on Martin`s novel `Fire and Blood`, a companion to the `Song of Ice and Fire` novels that were the basis for `GOT`.The prequel will follow the Dance of the Dragons, the Targaryen civil war between siblings Aegon II and Rhaenyra, who fought for the throne after the death of their father Viserys I. The Dance of the Dragons pits Westeros` great houses -- including the Lannisters and Starks -- against each other and resulted in the death of House Targaryen`s most powerful dragons. Soon after the war, they would go extinct until Daenerys Targaryen would give birth to three dragons three centuries later.<br />
<br />
'GOT'&nbsp;ran for eight seasons from 2011 to 2019 and was created by showrunners and executive producers David Benioff and D.B. Weiss. The pair were famously protective of the franchise. But they have now handed the keys to the kingdom to the `Dragon` team after signing a USD 200 million production pact with an HBO rival.<br />
<br />
Benioff and Weiss "have been entirely hands off" on Dragon. "They're off working at Netflix," Bloys said. 'House of the Dragon' stars Olivia Cooke as Alicent Hightower, Emma D`Arcy as Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen, Paddy Considine as King Viserys Targaryen, Matt Smith as Prince Daemon Targaryen, Steve Toussaint as Lord Corlys Velaryon aka the Sea Snake, Eve Best as Princess Rhaenys Velaryon, Rhys Ifans as Otto Hightower, Sonoya Mizuno as Mysaria, and Fabien Frankel as Ser Criston Cole.<br />

The upcoming series 'House of the Dragon'&nbsp;will premiere in 2022.</p>

HBO chief says 'GOT' prequel 'House of the Dragon' is looking spectacular

<p>Here are the Targaryens!<br />
<br />
'Game of Thrones prequel series 'House of the Dragon' has officially started filming,&nbsp;a few days after the producer HBO confirmed the production was underway.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Now, few photos from the set have emerged of film crews and actor donned in GOT costumes&nbsp;with a blonde wig. The pictures show stars, Matt Smith and Emma D'Arcy, at Holywell Bay near Newquay in Cornwall. The stars looked completely unrecognizable as Smith is all dressed as Prince Daemon Targaryen sporting a long black jacket and knee-high boots. Meanwhile Emma as Rhaenyra Targaryen wearing a long maroon dress.</p>

<p>In the scene, they are looking serious and talking in the sandy location. Further dozens of crew members could be seen working with the mask on.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
