What is House of the Dragon Season 3 about?

House of the Dragon Season 3 will surely pick up soon after the events of the Season 2 finale. With Alicent (Olivia Cooke) having somewhat mended fences with Rhaenyra (Emma D’Arcy), she’s advised her old friend to come into King’s Landing to take her rightful place on the throne. What complicates matters, of course, is that the king, Aegon (Tom Glynn-Carney), has fled, leaving a power vacuum among the royal family. Elsewhere, the Greens have recruited the brutalistic Triarchy to take on Corlys Velaryon (Steve Toussaint) and the blockade the Blacks have set up to prevent ships into King’s Landing. And, of course, there’s the fact that, with war on the way and dangerous dragons flying through the air, death can come at any point in time for anyone in the ever-increasing cast.
