I'm even more excited for House of the Dragon season 3 after this recent release. House of the Dragon season 3 is well underway, with filming wrapping soon and HBO planning for the show to be released in June 2026. James Norton Will Play Ormund Hightower In House Of The Dragon Season 3Among the most exciting new cast members for House of the Dragon season 3 is James Norton, an English actor known for his work in Grantchester, King & Conqueror, and numerous other British period drama shows. Ormund Hightower is the nephew of Ser Otto Hightower and cousin of Alicent Hightower, who rules as the Lord of the Hightower and head of his family in the Dance of the Dragons. I wouldn't be surprised if Ormund Hightower became a fan favorite with minimal screen time in House of the Dragon season 3.
