After spending two seasons building up to a war and one major cliffhanger, it’s finally time for the Dance of the Dragons to commence on “House of the Dragon.”
The “Game of Thrones” prequel returns for its third season tonight, June 21, and it’ll be a bloody affair.
The Targaryen civil war that the first two seasons led up to is finally here, and showrunner Ryan Condal confirmed that the season will open with the infamous naval Battle of the Gullet from George R. R. Martin’s “Fire and Blood” novel.
In her review of the new season, noti.group’s TV reporter Lauren Sarner wrote, “after two seasons of build-up to a war, the “Game of Thrones” prequel finally gets to the good part. Season 3 is all gas, no brakes.”
Sarner concludes by saying, “if you liked the first two seasons of ‘House of the Dragon,’ you’ll like Season 3 more.”
