Even though the first season of the prequel show of Game of Thrones, House of Dragons did quite well and won the Golden Globe Award for Best Television Series- Drama, the succeeding season couldn't deliver the hype. Matt Smith and Ser Christain Cole revealed that the scripts of House of Dragons Season 3 episodes (4,5 and 6) were emailed to them by the production team.
