Now we know the release window for House of the Dragon Season 3. Here's all you need to know about it

The marketing campaign for House of the Dragon Season 3 is slowly ramping up as the teaser trailer is set to drop this Thursday. HBO also confirmed the release month for the upcoming season of House of the Dragon: June. But the release date has not been confirmed yet. We may get the release date this season this Thursday with the teaser trailer.

Not much is known about the third season, except that it will pick up right where the season 2 finale ended. Showrunner Ryan Condal teased the scope of House of the Dragon Season 3 in an interview with Entertainment Weekly last March:

"This is certainly our biggest season to date, both in terms of ambition and just the practical size, the amount of sets. We're cresting that narrative parabola here and starting to come down into, if not the endgame, the midpoint and getting into the late Act 2 and moving onto the start of Act 3. Anybody that's read that book knows that the narrative gets bigger and grimmer as it goes along, and the show has to match that ambition as best it possibly can."

Condal further teased:

“I will say that the war this season goes very hot, very, very quickly. I think the people that were waiting and waiting for all of the horrible, brutal, pitiless bloodshed will be getting it in copious amounts.”

House of the Dragon Season 3 release window revealed:

The social media accounts for House of the Dragon released a poster of Rhaenyra Targaryen with the words "From Fire Comes Darkness". The post also confirmed that the teaser trailer will be released this Thursday. The teaser trailer will surely include scenes of battles. It should be noted that Olivia Cooke confirmed that House of the Dragon Season 3 will be action-packed in a Collider interview:

“Well, I think I can say for the show that it is, you know, it starts off with a bang. The first two eps were essentially supposed to be our finale last year. So you can just imagine coming into that sort of energy. It’s bigger and more ferocious than ever before, I think is what I can say.”

One of the hyped up moments from the upcoming season is the Battle of Gullet. Ryan Condal teased the battle in the same Entertainment Weekly interview:

"In many ways, the Gullet has been on the minds of the production for about three years now and trying to figure out how we were going to mount it in a way that was both producible and exciting, thrilling," Condal, who wrote this particular episode, prefaces. "The planning that has gone into this... basically all departments working in concert to really make a thing that nobody has ever done before."
