Matt Smith gives update on the third season of House of the Dragon as he shows off his bold mohawk hair style at New York Comic Con 2024
Matt Smith admitted he’s just as in the dark as fans when it comes to the third season of House of the Dragon, during an appearance at New York Comic Con 2024 on Sunday.
The actor, 41, stars in the Game Of Thrones prequel series as Daemon Targaryen, but revealed he has not yet seen any scripts or heard anything about where the story will go in season three.
The second season of House of the Dragon aired on August 4, after eight episodes.
The fantasy drama has been renewed for two more seasons, with the next installment set to release in 2026 and production to begin next year.
Over the weekend, Matt appeared on a panel for the show alongside co-stars Fabian Frankel (Criston Cole) and Tom Glynn-Carney (Aegon II Targaryen), where they were asked if they had seen scripts for series three.

Over the weekend, Matt appeared on a panel for the show alongside co-stars Fabian Frankel (Criston Cole) and Tom Glynn-Carney (Aegon II Targaryen), where they were asked if they had seen scripts for series three.
But Tom admitted: ‘Not an iota, not a letter. The longer it takes, the longer we don’t have to read anything.’
Matt repeated, “I didn’t hear any skin or hair. I don’t know about you guys. I didn’t hear anything, did you?’
But Fabian teased: “I’ve heard some things that I couldn’t possibly share here.”
In August, it was revealed that the series will end after four seasons by showrunner Ryan Condal, who added that season three was currently in the writing process.
He said pre-production work on the series will continue this fall, with a target production date of early next year.
The first season of the show consisted of ten episodes and the second season eight, but when asked how many episodes the third season would have, Ryan said, “I haven’t had any conversations about it with HBO.
“I just expect that the cadence of the show, from a dramatic storytelling perspective, will remain the same from season two.”
While the first season focused almost exclusively on House Targaryen, season 2 introduces characters to Winterfell – home of House Stark – and other “little people” living under the rule of the House of the Dragon.

The Doctor Who star has adopted the bold new look for his upcoming film Caught Stealing, an adaptation of Charlie Huston’s 2005 novel of the same name.
Matt joined the cast of the crime thriller in August, playing Red, opposite Oscar nominee Austin Butler.
The two actors were spotted filming in New York this month, with Matt looking almost unrecognizable in his punk rock-inspired ensemble.
He was seen with a wild orange and yellow mohawk hairstyle, checked trousers adorned with chains and a dusty trench coat.
The star held a gun while filming the intense-looking scenes, before joining 33-year-old Austin in a battered black car.
The film follows former baseball player Hank Thompson, played by Austin, who finds him embroiled in the criminal underbelly of New York City in the 1990s.
The star-studded cast also includes Zoë Kravitz, Liev Schreiber, Griffin Dunne, Vincent D’Onofrio, Regina King and Bad Bunny.
Darren Aronofsky will direct from an adapted screenplay written by author Charlie himself, while Darren produces with Jeremy Dawson, Dylan Golden and Ari Handel.
Sony Pictures will distribute the film, although there is no indication of when it will be released.
