George R.R. Martin began working on Seasons 3 and 4 in December 2023
House of the Dragon renewed for Season 3 by HBO
Power struggles within House Targaryen continue in Season 2
Season 1 introduced key characters like Matt Smith as Prince Daemon Targaryen, Emma D'Arcy as Rhaenyra Targaryen, Olivia Cooke as Alicent Hightower, and Rhys Ifans as Otto Hightower
Strong performance in Season 1 led to renewal but no confirmed start date for Season 3
House of the Dragon, a prequel to Game of Thrones, has been renewed for a third season by HBO. The fantasy drama series, based on George R.R. Martin's Fire & Blood and set 200 years before the events of Game of Thrones, tells the story of House Targaryen.
In December 2023, creator George R.R. Martin had already begun working with the writing team on Seasons 3 and 4. The renewal comes ahead of Sunday's Season 2 premiere on HBO and streaming platform Max.
Season 1 of House of the Dragon introduced several key characters, including Matt Smith as Prince Daemon Targaryen, Emma D'Arcy as Rhaenyra Targaryen, Olivia Cooke as Alicent Hightower, and Rhys Ifans as Otto Hightower. The second season will continue to explore the power struggles within House Targaryen.
The renewal of House of the Dragon for a third season is not surprising given its strong performance in Season 1. However, there is currently no confirmed start date for Season 3.
Aegon was accidentally given the throne because his father, King Viserys, was geeked off milk of the poppy while trying to explain a prophecy in his dying breath.
Rhaenyra had three brown-haired boys with Ser Harwin Strong and staged the fake murder of her first husband, Ser Laenor Velaryon.
Accuracy
King Aegon II Targaryen is currently sitting on the Iron Throne.
Aegon was crowned before the masses and seen as their rightful king by some.
Prince Aemond has the biggest dragon in the world and is a bloodthirsty brother to Aegon.
Rhaenyra Targaryen is the firstborn child of late King Viserys I and rightful heir to the throne.
Deception
(70%)
The author makes editorializing statements about King Aegon II Targaryen's character and compares him to Joffrey Baratheon, implying a negative opinion. He also uses emotional language when describing Aegon as a 'terrible person' and 'sadistic turd'. These statements are not facts but the author's opinions.
Sorry, but no. He’s just a terrible person who accidentally failed upward because his corpse of a dad, King Viserys, was geeked off milk of the poppy while trying to explain a prophecy in his dying breath.
He’s essentially the Joffrey Baratheon of House of the Dragon.
Lucerys Velaryon and his dragon Arrax were killed by Aemond Targaryen and his dragon Vhagar at Storm’s End
Queen Rhaenyra received the news of her son Lucerys’ death two weeks after it occurred

Deception
(0%)
The article contains editorializing and emotional manipulation as the author expresses their personal feelings towards the events in the show and quotes from cast members expressing their own emotions. The author also uses sensational language to describe Lucerys' death, implying that it was a horrendous event.
Warning: The following story contains FULL SPOILERS for the end of House of the Dragon Season 1... It may have been an accident on Aemond’s part, but it’ll no doubt be the catalyst for a lot more tragedy and bloodshed in the episodes to come.
We are so personally affected. He was our dear beloved grandson... In real life and in the show, he was just this most beautiful person...
