Fans of House of the Dragon will have to wait a little longer. According to Deadline, HBO Max has set the release window for the third season for mid-2026.
The platform's CEO explained that the release aligns with the Emmy calendar, which delays the arrival of the new episodes.

Why is House of the Dragon delayed?
The third season will premiere "right after May 31, 2026." This means the episodes will arrive between June and July of that year, a strategy designed to compete at the 2026 Emmys.
The move reflects HBO Max's intention to ensure the series enters awards season with strength.
An empty 2025 for fans
This year, followers of A Song of Ice and Fire will have no new releases. Neither House of the Dragon nor The Hedge Knight: A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms will be available in 2025.

The series based on Dunk and Egg has been postponed until January 2026, building anticipation among fans who are eager to return to Westeros.
The challenge of season 3
At the 2025 Emmys, House of the Dragon failed to stand out in the main categories. However, it received nominations and an award at the Creative Arts, which highlighted the need for a season with more pace and action.

HBO is betting that season 3 will address those criticisms and recapture the attention of both the public and international critics.
