‘House of the Dragon’ Star Matt Smith Says He Hasn’t Seen a Season 3 Script or Heard a Pitch Yet

Jennifer Maas TV Business Writer The plan for “House of the Dragon” Season 3 hasn’t made its way to star Matt Smith yet. During a panel at New York Comic Con on Sunday featuring Smith, who plays Daemon Targaryen, and his “Game of Thrones” prequel co-stars Fabian Frankel (Criston Cole) and Tom Glynn-Carney (Aegon II Targaryen), the actors revealed they have varying levels of information from showrunner Ryan Condal and the writers regarding where the story goes after the Season 2 finale, which aired in August. “Not a jot, not a letter,” Glynn-Carney said when moderator Josh Horowitz asked if any of them had seen a script for the upcoming third season. “The longer they take, the longer we don’t have to read anything for a while. ” “I’ve not heard hide nor hair,” Smith interjected. “I don’t know about you guys.

I’ve not heard a thing — have you?” he said, turning to Frankel. “I’ve heard some things that I couldn’t possibly share here,” Frankel teased.

Smith, Glynn-Carney and Frankel’s admissions come nearly two months after “Game of Thrones” creator and author George R.R. Martin took to his personal blog to tease events he alleged were coming up in the final two seasons of “House of the Dragon,” which is based on his book “Fire & Blood.” On Sept.

4, Martin published a post, which he later deleted, that detailed concerns he had with changes made to his overarching story from “Fire & Blood” in Season 2 of “House of the Dragon,” including the elimination of the character Prince Maelor, the youngest son of Glynn-Carney’s Aegon and Helaena (Phia Saban).
