But with each season, HoD has impressed viewers and critics alike. It took fans 200 years before the events of the cult classic and brought to life George RR Martin’s Fire & Blood from the GoT series. After a thrilling season, everyone has been waiting for the third instalment. And a new poster is finally out! It hints that the upcoming season is only going to get bigger and better.

Fans REACT To House Of The Dragon 3 Poster

The show is all set to surprise viewers with major twists as it heads towards its final season. And, fans simply cannot wait for the grand release. An excited netizen wrote, "Every season raises the bar, but now the real question is whether House of the Dragon can keep the heat without relying only on dragons." Another predicted, "Honestly, House of the Dragon might actually be doing what Game of Thrones failed to do in the end.""After that build-up, Season 3 better be 100% pure intensity. The dragons are ready, and so am I," gushed a user. One person opined, "I have a feeling this will be the best season. We’ve been building towards it. It might rival some of the best from GOT if done right."

Meanwhile, beyond the excited fan reactions, a section of the internet couldn’t stop pointing out the poster’s "AI-like" look. While it’s unclear whether AI was actually used, many have criticised the image quality, especially given a big platform like HBO. The makers are yet to respond to the backlash.
