The much-awaited trailer for the third instalment of 'House of the Dragon' a prequel to Game of Thrones has been finally released by the makers on Thursday. The third Season is set to debut in June.

The fantasy drama series, which is based on author George R.R. Martin's 'Fire & Blood' novel detailing the history of House Targaryen, is set roughly 200 years prior to the events of 'Game of Thrones.'

The trailer shows Aemond Targaryen sitting on the Iron Throne after his brother Aegon was disfigured last season and his mother, Queen Alicent Hightower, secretly left King's Landing to surrender the city to her best friend-turned-rival Rhaenyra's forces.

It's also revealed that Rhaenyra has discovered new dragons to add to her army, which would be a disaster for Alicent and her family, keeping Aemond Targaryen on their toes.

More large-scale battles are teased, including what appears to be the iconic Battle of the Gullet, where Rhaenyra's son Jace flies his dragon against House Velaryon's navy, according to Variety.

HBO shared the teaser on their Instagram handle on Thursday.

As an Indian fan, I love how this show feels like a grand historical saga, just with dragons. The family politics remind me of some old royal stories from here. Team Rhaenyra all the way!

The casting looks fantastic with so many new additions. But honestly, I hope the season focuses more on character development than just big battles. The last season felt a bit rushed in places.

HBO releasing it in June is perfect timing. Can binge-watch during the monsoon. Aemond on the throne is scary, but Rhaenyra is a true leader. Daenerys who? This is the real Dragon Queen.

The Battle of the Gullet! Been waiting to see that on screen since I read the book. Hope they do justice to the scale. Jace deserves his moment.

Alicent leaving King's Landing secretly? What a twist! The friendship-turned-rivalry between her and Rhaenyra is the heart of the show. More of that drama, please.
