The third season of HBO's "House of the Dragon" will conclude with its eighth episode, airing on Sunday, August 9, at 9 p.m. ET on HBO and HBO Max. The finale is expected to depict the Battle of Tumbleton, a significant event from George R.R. Martin's "Fire & Blood."
The season has followed Lord Ormund Hightower's occupation of Tumbleton, a city loyal to Rhaenyra Targaryen. The strategic dilemma for Rhaenyra's forces involves attacking the Hightower army and risking civilian casualties or finding an alternative approach. The episode's preview indicates the involvement of the Rivermen and Winter Wolves in a ground assault on the town, potentially complicating matters with the potential defection of Ulf the White to Hightower's cause.
This season of "House of the Dragon" comprises eight episodes, with new installments premiering weekly. The season began on June 21.
"House of the Dragon" has been renewed for a fourth and final season. The series is available for streaming via HBO or HBO Max subscriptions, with plans starting at $10.99 per month for an ad-supported version and $18.49 per month for an ad-free experience. Bundle options with Disney+ and Hulu are also available.
