HBO has released the first trailer for “House of the Dragon” Season 3, which will return in June. The upcoming season is set to be the penultimate, as HBO has confirmed a planned four-season run for the show.
The fantasy drama series, which is based on author George R.R. Martin’s “Fire & Blood” novel detailing the history of House Targaryen, is set roughly 200 years prior to the events of “Game of Thrones.” The Season 3 trailer comes ahead of the finale for “A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms,” another prequel set 90 years before “Game of Thrones” and about 75 years after “House of the Dragon.”
