‘House Of The Dragon’ Season 3, Episode 1 Recap And Review: The Battle Of The Gullet
The Triarchy fleet joins Tyland Lannister after the Hightower and Lannister navies fail to break Rhaenyra’s blockade, officials said.
On Sunday, June 21, 2026, House of the Dragon Season 3 premiered on HBO, opening with the "shock-and-awe-inspiring Battle of the Gullet," an epic naval conflict featuring dragons, fire, and massive casualties.
To break the naval blockade Rhaenyra placed on King's Landing, Lysene Admiral Sharako Lohar led the Triarchy fleet, aiming to challenge the queen's claim to the Iron Throne.
Prince Jacaerys Velaryon died after his dragon, Vermax, was struck by a ballista and dragged into the sea . Alyn of Hull killed Sharako in a brutal one-on-one brawl, saving his father Corlys.
Rhaena Targaryen's arrival with the rogue dragon Sheepstealer caused chaos when friendly fire damaged the Black's fleet and struck Vermax, directly contributing to her cousin Jacaerys' death.
Showrunner Ryan Condal confirmed writing for Season 4 began in January 2026, hinting at a "go big or go home" approach as the series heads toward its final chapter.
