House of the Dragon, the prequel to Game of Thrones, first aired in August 2022 and quickly became a worldwide hit. Fans were drawn in by the intense political drama, epic dragon battles, and the tragic civil war known as the ‘Dance of the Dragons.’ The series follows House Targaryen, the dragon-riding family from which fan-favorite Daenerys Targaryen comes.
With the show planned to conclude after season 4, season 3 is shaping up to be a crucial turning point. There’s been plenty of speculation and rumours about what’s to come. One exciting development is the new cast. English actor Adam Brown, known for playing Ori in The Hobbit, has joined the show. He’s the second former Hobbit actor to appear in House of the Dragon, after Graham McTavish, who played Dwalin and previously appeared as Ser Harrold Westerling. Glendon Footly has also been cast as the Lord of Tumbleton. These additions hint at fresh storylines and more complexity as House Targaryen edges closer to chaos.
Fans are also buzzing over a dramatic plot twist. According to leaks from fan accounts, Ser Criston Cole may meet a violent fate in season 3. Reports suggest he could be beheaded, with his head displayed on a spear, possibly in Episode 7, directed by Nina Lopez-Corrado. The episode is rumored to set the stage for a tense season finale, tentatively titled The Final Tumble. While this hasn’t been officially confirmed, it has already created a frenzy among viewers.
Season 3 promises higher stakes than ever. Betrayal, family drama, and power struggles are expected to escalate, with dragons taking to the battlefield and loyalties constantly shifting. The story seems poised to show the beginning of the Targaryen empire’s decline, bringing both thrilling and possibly tragic moments for fans of the series.
