Production of ‘House of the Dragon’ Season 3 Has Officially Started, New Cast Members Confirmed

House of the Dragon began in 2022 and after two seasons, it has received praise for its production, story, and cast performances. And while not every moment from the series has been universally lauded, HBO can still consider this series a hit.

A spin-off coming from George R.R. Martin’s Game of Thrones universe, House of the Dragon currently has 18 episodes as of the time of writing, but more are to come in the near future.

Namely, we know that the series has been renewed for a third season, but we can now confirm that production on that third season has started, and that some new cast members have been added.

The production start has been confirmed on social media with a very interesting video that you can see here:

Alongside the production start, we can also confirm that several new cast members have joined the show. They are Tommy Flanagan (Sons of Anarchy, Power Book IV: Force) as Ser Roderick Dustin and Dan Fogler (The Goldbergs, the Fantastic Beasts films) as Ser Torrhen Manderly. Not that long ago, James Norton (The Nevers, Happy Valley) has also been confirmed as Ormund Hightower.

The returning cast includes Matt Smith, Emma D’Arcy, Olivia Cooke, Steve Toussaint, Rhys Ifans, Fabien Frankel, Ewan Mitchell, Tom Glynn-Carney, Sonoya Mizuno, Harry Collett, Bethany Antonia, Phoebe Campbell, Phia Saban, Jefferson Hall, Matthew Needham, Tom Bennett, Kieran Bew, Kurt Egyiawan, Freddie Fox, Clinton Liberty, Gayle Rankin and Abubakar Salim.

No release date has been provided yet, but we’re hoping that we might get some precise information later this year.
