The third season of the show, a prequel to HBO’s iconic Game of Thrones, carries immense expectations. Fans have been eagerly awaiting updates, and now they’ve finally received a surprise from the makers.

Max, through their official social media, has confirmed that cameras are now rolling on the third season of the hit House of the Dragon series. The cast has returned to Westeros to begin production on the HBO drama. Read on to learn everything you need to know about this exciting development.

House of the Dragon Season 3 Is Now Filming

Production has officially commenced on the eight-episode third season of HBO’s original drama series House of the Dragon in the United Kingdom. The upcoming season promises more power struggles, epic battles, and fire-breathing drama as the Targaryen civil war continues to unfold. It is set to stream soon on JioHotstar. 

Based on George R.R. Martin’s Fire & Blood, the series takes place 200 years before the events of Game of Thrones and chronicles the rise and fall of House Targaryen. While announcing the news, the makers shared a video with the caption: "The fight for the Throne is far from over. S3 of #HOTD is now in production."
