House of the Dragon Season 3 episode 3 is set to air on Monday, July 6, at 2am British Summer Time (BST) on Sky Atlantic, streaming service NOW, and HBO Max UK & Ireland. This follows the series' debut on June 21, which has already delivered significant action and drama across its opening two episodes, according to the Express.
Simulcast and Viewing Options
The episode will be available for streaming from 2am BST for subscribers of NOW or HBO Max UK & Ireland. For those who prefer a later viewing, Sky Atlantic will repeat the episode at 9pm. The simultaneous broadcast in the UK and USA is part of a Transatlantic simulcast implemented by HBO to combat illegal downloads, a practice that has been in place since Game of Thrones due to its massive following.
Episode Timing and Schedule
House of the Dragon airs on Sundays at 9pm Eastern Standard Time in the USA, which translates to 2am BST in the UK. All eight episodes of Season 3 will follow this weekly schedule. A teaser for the upcoming episode reveals Rhaenyra Targaryen (Emma D'Arcy) seated on the Iron Throne, striving to preserve her father Viserys I's (Paddy Considine) legacy. However, the burden of the crown weighs heavily as she attempts to govern and listen to her subjects.
Plot Developments and Warnings
Daemon Targaryen (Matt Smith) warns his wife that she must eliminate Daeron Targaryen, as he poses a threat to her claim. Alicent Hightower (Olivia Cooke) also cautions Rhaenyra: "You may not rule and remain yourself. There is in you a door that must shut. You will do things that your heart would have recoiled from." Rhaenyra resists, stating, "I dispute that I must become what I am not." Despite claiming the throne, she continues to face adversaries, including Ormund Hightower (James Norton). The preview concludes with Rhaenyra gazing into a blazing pyre of belongings from the Greens.
Where to Watch
House of the Dragon Season 3 broadcasts weekly on Mondays on Sky Atlantic, NOW, and HBO Max UK & Ireland. The series comprises eight episodes, with new installments available each week.
