House of the Dragon Episode 3, titled Second of His Name, is scheduled to be released on Sunday, September 4, 2022, on HBO.

The premiere will debut at 9 pm ET and 6 pm PT in the United States, however, fans watching in the UK will be able to watch Episode 3 at 2 am GMT on Monday, September 5, 2022.

US viewers can watch the new episode on HBO and HBO Max and fans in the UK can tune in via Sky Atlantic and Now TV.

Episode 3 Preview – Second of His Name

This week’s The Rogue Prince produced a powerful interaction at Dragonstone, where we saw Rhaenyra exert her dominance as the King’s heir, but she was later blindsided at the last minute by her father’s decision to wed her best friend Alicent Hightower.

Episode 3, Second of His Name, will see the fallout of Viserys’ choice in marriage, where his relationship with his daughter will need to be mended. The unknown threat of Lord Corlys’ union with Daemon will also build behind the King’s back and viewers will see more of the antagonist Crabfeeder as Corlys and Daemon plot against him.

The next episode could also see another time jump, possibly to the hasty wedding and then many years into the future that will showcase Rhaenyra and Alicent’s now fractured relationship.
