House of the Dragon Season 2 has been building on itself with every episode. Now, there’s only three episodes left in the entire season, and each side — Rhaenyra and the Blacks and Aegon and the Greens — is getting increasingly more desperate for an upper hand in the ongoing Dance of Dragons.
Episode 6 will show each side plan something incredibly risky — we’ll have to watch the rest of the season to truly find out if their gambits work. Here’s everything you need to know to catch the next episode, from when it’ll drop to a sneak peek at what’s ahead.

What is the Plot of House of the Dragon Season 2 Episode 6?
House of the Dragon Season 2 Episode 6 shows both sides trying their most dangerous strategies yet. Rhaenyra and the Blacks are attempting to find more dragonriders by diving deep into the Targaryen history and finding long-lost relatives. Meanwhile, the Greens are trying to regroup under the questionable leadership of Aemond and his well-held grudges, while Aegon recovers from his dragon fire burns.
But there’s something else the Greens need to contend with: all throughout Season 2, we’ve seen the smallfolk get frustrated by the lack of food caused by the blockade in the Gullet. In Episode 6, we may just see that reach a fever pitch, forcing the Greens to fight a battle at home and abroad.
How Many Episodes Will Season 2 of House of the Dragon Have?

Will There Be a Season 3 of House of the Dragon?
Yes! House of the Dragon has already been renewed for a Season 3, and there may very well be more ahead. “I am not yet ready to talk about how many episodes or seasons we need to get there,” showrunner Ryan Condal told Inverse, “but I know now, having gone through the process of writing and breaking Season 2 and knowing where we're going in Season 3, that we have a good plan and we know the roadmap and how to get there.”
