Description

According to a recent video clip leaked from the set of House of the Dragon season 3, the returning fantasy series could see even more changes to Daemon Targaryen’s story that weren’t in George R.R. Martin’s books. As fans prepare for their highly anticipated return to Westeros, especially with how things were left at the end of House of the Dragon Season 2’s cliffhanger that saw Rhaenyra compromise a deal with Alicent to end the war in the hopes that conflict wouldn’t break out with Aemond, season 3 is really starting to heat up.

The long-awaited Game of Thrones prequel season two arrived in June last year and was greenlit for a third and fourth season. Based on George R.R. Martin’s novel Fire & Blood, House of the Dragon focuses on the fall of the House Targaryen as the clan descends into a huge civil war where families are broken apart by greed and betrayal. Season three will follow on from the epic tale that the House of the Dragon season 2 finale left off, but now, the stakes are even higher as the Targaryen dynasty will continue to reign, by fire and by blood.

House of the Dragon Season 3 Leak Sees Daemon Targaryen and Prince Daeron’s Interaction

First spotted by ScreenRant, a new set video leaked by a fan account of House of the Dragon season 3 apparently shows renowned warrior and dragonrider Daemon Targaryen meeting with Ormund Hightower and also Prince Daeron Targaryen, who is the youngest son of King Viserys and Alicent Hightower. Although the video isn’t official and should not be classed as such, as there’s no current way to prove who or what is happening in the clip until HBO states otherwise, it does seem to display the Hightower infantry, which could be the First Battle of Tumbleton.

If this is the case, Daemon’s presence there would be a big change from the Fire & Blood book, as Daemon and Prince Daeron do not directly meet in the novel; Daemon is focused on his conflict with Aemond and securing the Iron Throne for his wife, Rhaenyra, while Daeron is mainly involved with Lord Ormund Hightower’s forces during the Dance of the Dragons. Although Prince Daeron hasn’t appeared throughout House of the Dragon, only mentioned in passing throughout its two seasons, he is set to appear in season 3.

It also hasn’t been revealed who will play Daeron Targaryen in House of the Dragon when the show returns, with some rumors suggesting that Daeron could be played by Charlie Gordon, the first trans man to play a main character in a series from the Game of Thrones universe, but whatever the facts may be, this is exciting news for fans who have been wondering when the third son of King Viserys Targaryen and Alicent Hightower will show up.

A release date for the third season of House of the Dragon hasn’t yet been announced, but it’s likely fans won’t see new episodes until the summer of 2026.
