House of the Dragon has dropped its epic and final trailer for season three. It comes ahead of the Game of Thrones prequel finally returning to screens next month, with war afoot in Westeros.
In the action-packed preview, we get a taste of what's to come, including dragons, battles and plenty of political intrigue as Rhaenyra faces off against enemies.
Opening up about the new season, Rhaenyra actor Emma D'Arcy teased to Entertainment Weekly that the show becomes "bigger".

"There was a degree of thrill at what was on the page this season because the show's gotten bigger, not just in terms of its dramatic scale, but actually in terms of its ambition," the star said.
"It's very exciting when that happens. It felt to me that the bar had been raised - and I'm a competitive person, so I wanted to meet that."
What to Read Next
The premiere brings fans the Battle of the Gullet, which showrunner Ryan Condal called "arguably the craziest episode of television ever made".
D'Arcy added: "The series this time around starts at 60 miles an hour. We're finally watching a war that has been building for two seasons…
"I'm so impressed by Ryan and the team, because it's to really hold your nerve to stage a conflict that has been, until now, primarily interpersonal, interfamily - and then [to] finally, in one huge gesture, allow that conflict to unleash on the realm as a whole, I think is some very classy plotting."
D'Arcy is back alongside show regulars such as Matt Smith, Olivia Cooke, Ewan Mitchell and Tom Glynn-Carney, while James Norton joins the cast as Lord Ormund Hightower.
Elsewhere, HBO boss Casey Bloys confirmed rumours that House of the Dragon is planned to end with a fourth season, telling Deadline: "Yes, that is the idea.
"The idea has always been to follow the history of the Targaryens. If you know the books, you know how the Targaryens end up. So there is a natural end to this particular history of that House of the Targaryens."
House of the Dragon season 3 will debut on HBO Max on 22 June. Seasons 1 and 2 are available to stream now on Sky, NOW, and HBO Max.
