I have an idea who I'd actually place on the Iron Throne, and creator Ryan Condal recently echoed those comments. While fans are keeping up with which HOTD dragon belongs to who, the book to screen adaptation will eventually put one character on the Iron Throne. Overall its a complicated job that's so much more than simply sitting on the Iron Throne. Unfortunately, Alicent will likely not be the one on the Iron Throne at the end of HOTD; Westeros simply is against a woman ruling. House of the Dragon Season 3 is streaming in its entirety on HBO Max as part of the 2026 TV schedule.
