What Time Does ‘House of the Dragon’ Season 3 Episode 2 Come Out on HBO?

House of the Dragon Season 3 is officially here and it’s not playing around. Last week’s House of the Dragon Season 3 premiere finally brought the infamous Battle of the Gullet to vivid, violent life on HBO. High Tide was sacked, Lord Corlys Velaryon (Steve Toussaint) and Tyland Lannister (Jefferson Hall) were lost in the drink, and Prince Jacaerys, aka Jace (Harry Collett), perished along with his dragon, Vermax.
Elsewhere, Alicent Hightower (Olivia Cooke) convinced Aemond (Ewan Mitchell) to fly to Harrenhal, Daemon (Matt Smith) and his Riverlands forces finally linked up with Roddy the Ruin (Tommy Flanagan) and the “Winter Wolves,” and Rhaena (Phoebe Campbell) claimed the wild dragon Sheepstealer.
What’s next in the bloody war George R.R. Martin dubbed the “Dance of the Dragons”? What’s going to happen with Rhaenyra (Emma D’Arcy) learns that her eldest son and heir died in the Battle of the Gullet? Will Rhaenyra and Daemon take King’s Landing?
