The House of the Dragon episode three promo teases more conflict between Rhaenyra and King Viserys as her rightful claim to the throne continues to be challenged by the careful scheming of the Hightowers. The video also gives us a closer look at Daemon and Corlys’ newest enemy, Prince-Admiral Craghas Drahar, aka Crab-Feeder.
Based on George R.R. Martin’s Fire & Blood, House of the Dragon chronicles the rise and the downfall of the Targaryens, who are the only family of dragonlords to survive the Doom of Valyria.

It will also feature Rhys Ifans, Steve Toussaint, Eve Best, Sonoya Mizuno, Milly Alcock, Emily Carey, Graham McTavish, Ryan Corr, Jefferson Hall, David Horovitch, Matthew Needham, Bill Patterson, Gavin Spokes, Wil Johnson, John Macmillan, Savannah Steyn, and Theo Nate.
