After the premiere of House of the Dragon Season 3 on June 21, fans are waiting for the release of the next episode. The first episode concluded with Jacaerys Velaryon’s tragic death during the Battle of the Gullet. He locked Rhaenyra inside her chambers to stop her from joining the fight, and after that, he flew out on Vermax with Baela on Moondancer. During the battle, Jace sank beneath the waves after the arrows hit him in the back and chest.
So, the battle didn’t end, and episode 1’s ending set the stage for the next episode. In episode 2, viewers can expect to witness Rhaenyra’s grief of losing Jace and Vermax turn into relentless vengeance with Daemon fully supporting her push for bloodshed.
Similar to the first episode’s release time, episode 2 will also broadcast at the same time on HBO and HBO Max. Rhaenyra’s revenge story is expected to unfold today in North and South America at 6 p.m. PT and 9 p.m. ET. The precise time viewers may watch depends only on their time zones and local platforms because the platform simultaneously airs and streams the show globally.
