The Game of Thrones universe is once again expanding as a third season for its prequel show, House of the Dragon, is gearing up for a potential 2026 summer premiere. With fresh updates coming in about the plot and new cast members joining the team for quite some time, excitement among fans has been at its peak.
Now the latest news brings popular faces from big franchises like Star Wars' Andor and this time, 3 knights are armoring up for their noble ranks in the kingdom of Westeros. Per Entertainment Weekly, Tom Cullen, who is known from hit shows like Knightfall and The Gold, is joining the creative team.
Alongside him, we have Barry Sloane, whose previous work in Revenge & the Hollyoaks franchise has been quite notable. Also, Andor's Joplin Sibtain will be joining the aforementioned stars for House of the Dragon Season 3. Read this article to find more about their exact roles.
House of the Dragon Season 3 drops fresh casting updates
According to reports, Tom Cullen (from Downton Abbey) will take up the part of Ser Luthor Largent, a lowborn of Westeros (as mentioned in the GRRM novels) who has recently reached the rank of a knight. As the story goes in Fire & Blood (the book from which House of the Dragon has been adapted), Ser Luthor Largent is known for his immense strength.
Rumor has it that he once took down a warhorse all by himself, and surprisingly, he was unarmed. According to EW, Barry Sloane will portray Ser Adrian Redfort, who hails from House Redfort. In Season 3 of House of the Dragon, Adrian will be seen rising to higher ranks and fighting on behalf of the dragon queen Rhaenyra. Ser Adrian Redfort will supposedly be a key character in the upcoming chapter after he pledges loyalty to the Queen.
Per Entertainment Weekly, Joplin Sibtain has joined the cast of House of the Dragon Season 3 in the role of Bold Jon Roxton, who also goes by the identity Ser Jon Roxton. Not only does he carry a sword made of Valerian steel (as per the book), but he also heads House Roxton.
According to reports, House of the Dragon Season 3 is currently being filmed in the United Kingdom, and the cast list will be no smaller than the previous chapters. The HBO prequel has been well-received by viewers ever since its inception back in 2022.
Not only does it leave key details about different clans and their origin stories in the ancient Westeros, but it also serves intense action, clubbed with drama. Game of Thrones has undoubtedly won millions of hearts by portraying the beastly dragons on-screen, but House of the Dragon, as viewers have responded, is definitely taking it on a whole other level.
