House of the Dragonseason 3 looks to be a ways away.

At a New York Comic Con panel on Oct. 20,Matt Smith,Tom Glynn-CarneyandFabien Frankelwere asked what they know about the next chapter in theGame of Thronesprequel series. Turns out, they haven’t been given much insight.

“I’ve not heard hide nor hair,” Smith, who plays Daemon Targaryen, said when Josh Horowitz asked if any of the stars had seen a script or heard rumblings about what’s to come.

“I’ve not heard a thing,” he reiterated, before asking if Glynn-Carney, 29, or Frankel, 30, had.

Glynn-Carney said he’s seen “not a jot, not a letter,” before joking, “The longer they take… We don’t have to read anything for a while.”

“I’ve heard some things that I couldn’t possibly share here,” Frankel teased.

The prequel series’second season came to a dramatic conclusionon Aug. 4 in an episode that saw Glynn-Carney’s weakened Aegon flee Kings Landing with Larys (Matthew Needham); Ser Criston Cole (Frankel) admit he’s ready to die on his sword defending Aegon; and Daemon (Smith) finally bend the knee to Rhaenyra (Emma D’Arcy) after months of being haunted at Harrenhal.

After the finale episode, showrunner Ryan Condal said that there is even more bloodshed to come in season 3 (which was officially renewed before season 2 premiered).

“While this season was very much about the fits and starts of an early medieval war, season 3 is clearly going to be about total war,” he said.

Condal confirmed in a press conference following the season 2 finale that writing had begun on season 3, which would be the penultimate installment of the show. The plan is to go into production in “earlyish 2025,” he said, perVariety.

He alsowarned of “larger and more toxic butterflies to come” in seasons 3 and 4of the show, should Condal and the writers go “ahead with some of the changes being contemplated.”

“Commonly, when adapting a book for the screen, with its own format and limitations, the showrunner ultimately is required to make difficult choices about the characters and stories the audience will follow," the statement continued. “We believe that Ryan Condal and his team have done an extraordinary job and the millions of fans the series has amassed over the first two seasons will continue to enjoy it.”
