Plot details for a third season are something no one could guess right now, considering we don’t know how Season 2 will end. Many expect it to adapt some of the more notable events from the books, including the gruesome Blood and Cheese affair.

House of the Dragon adapts George R.R. Martin’s 2018 novel Fire & Blood, specifically its second half. The series is set roughly 100 years before the events of the phenomenon Game of Thrones.
