New HBO Max movie and TV releases from June 15 to June 21, 2026, include Game of Thrones prequel House of the Dragon’s third season.

Season 3 focuses on the events of the book Fire & Blood. In an interview, Gayle Rankin talked about the new season exploring the world of Westeros and how it relates to the modern world of the audience. “It’s so funny. I thought you were talking about our present world, and I was like, ‘Oh God, don’t be in war,’ the Alys Rivers actress said (via CBR).

Rankin continued, “But I guess the question that’s posed, and it’s yet to be seen whether it’s answered: how to be in war. How do you survive? How can you be okay? Can you help other people? Can you change things?”

The 36-year-old added, “Those feel like the questions that are being posed. I feel like those are really difficult questions to answer because they’re complicated.” She further explained, “But I think that’s what Season 3 is exploring, certainly, and what [every character is] exploring is their relationship to that.”

Besides, Rankin, Season 3 features a star cast of Matt Smith, Emma D’Arcy, Rhys Ifans, Steve Toussaint, and many others in key roles.
