House of the Dragon Season 3 is here, and fans cannot keep calm. The viewers have been waiting for the third instalment of the much-loved prequel to Game of Thrones for a while now. So, as fans rush to watch the show, here’s everything you need to know about the new characters joining House of the Dragon in Season 3 and the actors portraying them.
House of the Dragon Season 3 brings James Norton as ‘Ormund Hightower’
According to previous reports, James was cast as ‘Lord of Oldtown, Ormund Hightower’, the cousin of ‘Alicent’ and ‘Gawyne’. The description of his character states that he is “presently leading the Hightower host in a march on King’s Landing to support his house against ‘Rhaenyra'”. The showrunner, Ryan Condal, linked ‘Ormund’ to “the Tywin Lannister of this world,” referencing Charles Dance’s iconic villain from Game of Thrones. However, because ‘Ormund’ is just a ‘sketch’ in George R.R. Martin’s books, Ryan got to create, “a really deep, complex and three-dimensional character out of him that introduces a new kind of complication into the world.”
