The highly anticipated House of the Dragon Season 3 Episode 8 release date has been confirmed for Sunday, 9 August, at 9 p.m. ET/PT on HBO and HBO Max in the United States. Following the events of Episode 7, the trailer suggests the war is about to escalate further, with the First Battle of Tumbleton expected to become the season's defining confrontation. What the Finale Trailer RevealsHBO's official trailer offers several clues about where the finale is heading without confirming exactly how events will unfold. The trailer also hints at continuing developments involving Alicent Hightower, Aemond, Targaryen and Alys Rivers following the dramatic events of Episode 7. Unlike the Battle of the Gullet earlier this season, Tumbleton carries enormous political consequences beyond the battlefield, affecting key alliances and the loyalty of several dragon riders.
