House of the Dragon Season 3 teaser gives fiery glimpse of the Battle of the Gullet
Looking to fill the Westeros-shaped hole in your heart after A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms wraps up this Sunday? Worry not: House of the Dragon Season 3 is coming this June, and its first teaser promises a fiery, bloody showdown between Team Black and Team Green.
House of the Dragon Season 2 ended with the promise of great changes coming down the line. Alicent Hightower (Olivia Cooke) went to Dragonstone and told Queen Rhaenyra Targaryen (Emma D'Arcy) that she would surrender the Red Keep to her if Rhaenyra and her new dragonriders came to King's Landing.
Elsewhere, forces from the Triarchy sailed towards Westeros in the hope of breaking Corlys Velaryon's (Steve Toussain) naval blockade. In George R.R. Martin's Fire & Blood, the ensuing clash becomes known as the Battle of the Gullet, and based on the teaser, it's finally coming to the screen.
The teaser shows Rhaenyra's forces, including her son Jacaerys (Harry Collett) and his dragon Vermax, opening fire on the Triarchy ships. The sight is as terrifying as it is glorious.
That's not the only action House of the Dragon Season 3's teaser promises. From a battle in an open field to Daemon Targaryen (Matt Smith) locked in combat with the forces of House Hightower, it seems like Westeros is trapped in an inevitable spiral of war. I might just have to watch Dunk (Peter Claffey) and Egg (Dexter Sol Ansell) hanging out again in order to de-stress.
