Major cavalry scenes being filmed for House of the Dragon Season 3, set photos leaked

House of the Dragon season 3 began filming in March 31, 2025, as confirmed by the show on their official Instagram account. The third season will take us closer to the main events of the Dance of Dragons, caused by the fight between Queen Rhaenyra Targaryen and King Aegon II Targaryen over the Iron Throne.

The show, created by George R. R. Martin and Ryan Condal, was first released on August 21, 2022. It is set two hundred years before the events of Game of Thrones and follows Rhaenyra Targaryen as she fights to establish herself as the rightful queen of the Seven Kingdoms.

Recently, Redanian Intelligence reported that the show wrapped up filming in Wales. On July 15, 2025, Redanian Intelligence reported and shared pictures of the show filming at Hankley Common, Surrey, England.

Brief recap of first 2 Seasons of House of the Dragon

The first season followed King Viserys I Targaryen's reign and his naming his oldest daughter Rhaenyra as his heir. While Viserys's younger brother Daemon initially was against this, he eventually accepted his brother's decision.

We also saw Vyseris marry Alicent Hightower and have three children with her. When Viserys died, Alicent claimed that Viserys's last words were about their eldest son Aegon, and thus claimed him to be the rightful heir to the Iron Throne. This created the conflict between the Greens (Alicent, her children, and a few others) and the Blacks (Rhaenyra, her children, Daemon, and a few others).

At the end of season one, Luke, Rhaenyra's son, was killed by Vhagar and Aemond, which further escalated the situation. What followed is death and destruction, which will continue in season 3.

The returning cast includes Emma D'Arcy as Rhaenyra Targaryen, Matt Smith as Daemon Targaryen, Harry Collett as Prince Jacaerys Velaryon, Bethany Antonia as Lady Baela Targaryen, and Phoebe Campbell as Lady Rhaena Targaryen.
