'House of the Dragon' season 3 will be a 'big bloodbath' with 'increased ambition,' says series stars

Matt Smith as Daemon Targaryen in House of the Dragon.

After a long two-year wait, "House of the Dragon" is getting ready to roar its way back onto our screens with an action-packed third season that series creator Ryan Condal has already teased will be "goddamn huge." And series stars Matt Smith and Emma D’Arcy are expanding on that intel and how the season's "big bloodbath" will impact their characters Daemon and Rhaenyra Targaryen, respectively.

The "Game of Thrones" prequel series returns on HBO and HBO Max on Sunday, June 21, and ahead of that premiere, the actors gave some behind-the-scenes scoop while attending season 3's world premiere in London's Leicester Square this Monday. Per The Hollywood Reporter, D’Arcy is looking forward to finally seeing some "momentum" in Rhaenyra's campaign for the Iron Throne after the deal the Targaryen queen struck with Olivia Cooke’s Alicent Hightower last season.
