House of the Dragon Season 2 Ep. 3 Preview: Did Someone Say Dragons?

On the next episode of HBO & Showrunner Ryan Condal's House of the Dragon Season 2, the war inches closer to dragging dragons into the mix.

Well, we knew there would have to be some kind of response to "Blood & Cheese" – and last week's episode of HBO & Showrunner Ryan Condal's House of the Dragon definitely had those. We had Aegon (Tom Glynn-Carney) looking for revenge on Rhaenyra (Emma D'Arcy) – who's worried that the killing will hurt her public standing and now realizes that Daemon (Matt Smith) was the one who got this avalanche going. The next thing you know, we have assassination attempts, a brothel visit, and the tragic end to twin brothers (and a whole lot of ratcatchers). That brings us to this weekend's Geeta Patel-directed chapter – and to make sure that you're up to speed on what you need to know, we have preview images for tonight's episode to pass along. While you won't be able to tell from the gallery below, the promo trailer released earlier today teases that the show will be living up to its name in a very big way, as it looks like the war is escalating to the dragon level now…

And here's a look at the promo for tonight's chapter of HBO & Max's House of the Dragon Season 2 – followed by a look back at what else was shared about the second season:

With the second chapter set to hit HBO and Max screens, here's a look back at what's to come in the weeks ahead for the "Game of Thrones" spinoff prequel series:

Here's a look at previously released trailers and more for HBO's House of the Dragon Season 2:

During the second season of the "Game of Thrones" prequel series, Westeros is on the brink of a bloody civil war with the Green and Black Councils fighting for King Aegon and Queen Rhaenyra, respectively. As each side believes theirs to be the rightful seat on the Iron Throne, the Green and Black trailers reflect those two perspectives in separate yet complementary halves of the same story. For global audiences, "All Must Choose" their side of House Targaryen as the realm fractures in season two.

HBO's House of the Dragon Season 2 stars Matt Smith, Olivia Cooke, Emma D'Arcy, Eve Best, Steve Toussaint, Fabien Frankel, Ewan Mitchell, Tom Glynn-Carney, Sonoya Mizuno, and Rhys Ifans. Additional returning cast includes Harry Collett, Bethany Antonia, Phoebe Campbell, Phia Saban, Jefferson Hall, and Matthew Needham.

Joining the cast for the second season are Gayle Rankin as Alys Rivers, Simon Russell Beale as Ser Simon Strong, Freddie Fox as Ser Gwayne Hightower, Abubakar Salim as Alyn of Hull, Clinton Liberty as Addam of Hull, Jamie Kenna as Ser Alfred Broome, Kieran Bew as Hugh, Tom Bennett as Ulf, Tom Taylor as Lord Cregan Stark, and Vincent Regan as Ser Rickard Thorne.

Based on author & executive producer George R.R. Martin's "Fire & Blood," the prequel series is also executive produced by Condal, Sara Hess, Alan Taylor, Melissa Bernstein, Kevin de la Noy, Loni Peristere, and Vince Gerardis.
