HBO renewed the series for a third season a few days before the second season premiered in mid-June.“George, Ryan, and the rest of our incredible executive producers, cast, and crew have reached new heights with the phenomenal second season,” Francesca Orsi, HBO’s programming and drama series chief, wrote in a statement at the time.“We are in awe of the dragon-sized effort the entire team has put into the creation of a spectacular season two, with a scope and scale that is only rivaled by its heart. We could not be more thrilled to continue the story of House Targaryen and watch this team burn bright again for season three,” Orsi continued.

The cast and plot details for "House of the Dragon" Season 3 remain closely guarded.

Deadline reported last year that the show's creators had planned for it to run for three or four seasons. "With a portion of the plot originally intended for Season 2, including a major battle, moving to Season 3, it now seems more likely that the series would extend to four seasons. However, this has not been finalized as Condal and Martin continue to debate the optimal number of seasons (three or four) to fully tell the story," sources informed the site in March 2023.
