Production has begun on Season 3 of “House of the Dragon.” Additionally, the HBO juggernaut is adding two new cast members to this upcoming season.
Tommy Flanagan will play Ser Roderick Dustin, and Dan Fogler will play Ser Torrhen Manderly. Previously, it was announced that James Norton will play Ormund Hightower, a new addition this season.
They will join returning cast members 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.
Season 3, which will consist of eight episodes, picks up in the lead-up to the Battle of the Gullet, which was not included in the sophomore installment to the dismay of some fans. The Season 2 finale sees Alicent (Cooke) make a plea for peace with Rhaenyra (D’Arcy), with the pair agreeing Rhaenyra will arrive to King’s Landing in three days to peacefully take the throne — with the understanding that she will have to execute Alicent’s son, Aegon, in order to claim her power.
Meanwhile, Aegon has fled King’s Landing with Larys on Larys’ advice to avoid bloodshed and return to restore peace after the war is over.
