HBO recently shared a short video on X confirming that House of the Dragon Season 3 is finally in production. Returning actress Emma D’Arcy can be seen in her Queen Rhaenyra ensemble on the first day of Season 3 shooting.
With this filming update, HBO has also confirmed that two new cast members will join House of the Dragon's latest chapter (via Entertainment Weekly).
First, Tommy Flanagan, known for Sons of Anarchy, Westworld, Wu Assassins, and Power Book IV: Force, will join Season 3 as a fan-favorite character of Ser Roderick Dustin. Lovingly called Roddy the Ruin, Dustin is the head of his respective house and the Lord of Barrowton. He is a fan-favorite character, and Flanagan's casting is crucial for the upcoming season.
In addition, Dan Fogler, best known for Fantastic Beasts, A Complete Unknown, The Walking Dead, and Secret and Lies, will play the character of Ser Torrhen Manderly, of House Manderly in the north.
Earlier, it was announced that actor James Norton would play the character of Ormund Hightower.
In addition to the three newcomers, the show will see its main cast back for the latest chapter, which includes Matt Smith, Emma D’Arcy, Rhys Ifans, Fabien Frankel, Ewan Mitchell, Olivia Cooke, Steve Toussaint, and many more.

HBO's House of the Dragon Season 3 begins production
The prequel series to George R.R. Martin's celebrated work Game of Thrones, House of the Dragon, is based on Martin's Fire and Blood and is set 200 years before the events of Game of Thrones.
The show debuted on HBO in August 2022, was renewed for Season 2, and was released in June 2024. Banking on the franchise's popularity, it was renewed for Season 3 in June 2024, even before the second season premiere.
The latest update, as posted on X, confirms that the upcoming season is finally in production, and the makers are adding new cast and characters to this fantasy adventure lore.
In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, showrunner Ryan Condal discussed Dustin's character and how crucial he is for the story:
“I don't want to say much because I think this is one of those truly memorable Game of Thrones characters, and I'm very excited to bring him into the fold,”
Now, Flanagan is all set to bring the character on-screen. Teasing a bit more about the character, Condal added:
“But he is a fixture in Fire & Blood, and I think he's one of those true fan favorites. I'm very, very proud of the role that we've written. [Flanagan is] a delight and a thrill. I'm so excited to see what he's going to do with the character.”
House of the Dragon Season 3 has no confirmed release date yet.
