What no one expected, however, was for Aemond\u2019s fate to be left hanging in the balance.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/thetab.com\/filmshrine\/tag\/game-of-thrones\/\">Game of Thrones<\/a> prequel series just delivered one of its best episodes yet, and it\u2019s not surprising. If you weren\u2019t aware, the first two episodes of season three were supposed to round off season two.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As such, \u2018Queen\u2019s Landing\u2019 would have served as the finale (thankfully it didn\u2019t, because that would\u2019ve been a painful cliffhanger).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A lot goes down in the episode, including Rhaenyra (Emma D\u2019Arcy) finally claiming her spot on the Iron Throne &#8211; <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">after<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/thetab.com\/filmshrine\/2026\/06\/29\/otto-hightowers-house-of-the-dragon-ending-is-harsh-but-his-fate-in-the-books-is-so-different\/\"> killing Otto Hightower<\/a> (Rhys Ifans), who\u2019s been imprisoned this whole time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the meantime, Aemond arrives to kill Ser Simon Strong (Simon Russell Beale) and take Harrenhal, which he does in cold blood. He also kills Simon\u2019s sons, although one of them manages to stab the Targaryen prince in the back.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As he bleeds out on the floor, he calls out, \u201cHelp me,\u201d to none other than Alys Rivers (Gayle Rankin) before passing out. This sets up an interesting dynamic, but will it be cut short?<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Did Aemond just die in House of the Dragon?<\/h2>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"House of the Dragon | S3 Weeks Ahead Trailer | HBO Max\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/0hnr-VnqSa4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No, Aemond is almost certainly not dead. How do we know this? Well, firstly because of the promotional material, including the weeks ahead trailer, which shows he\u2019ll live to fight another day.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But we also know thanks to <a href=\"https:\/\/thetab.com\/filmshrine\/2026\/06\/22\/house-of-the-dragon-showrunner-announces-exit-after-georg-r-r-martin-feud-causes-rift\/\">George R.R. Martin\u2019s<\/a> Fire &amp; Blood. Although House of the Dragon has made plenty of changes to the source material, Aemond survives long past the capture of Harrenhal and remains one of the Greens\u2019 most formidable commanders throughout the Dance of the Dragons.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the book, Aemond takes Harrenhal after Daemon abandons the castle, making it his base of operations alongside Alys Rivers. Their relationship becomes one of the most intriguing in the story, with Alys eventually claiming to be carrying Aemond&#8217;s child.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Aemond&#8217;s journey ultimately ends much later, but I\u2019ll stop short of giving anything else away in case you\u2019re yet to read the books.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The HBO adaptation has already altered the circumstances of <a href=\"https:\/\/thetab.com\/filmshrine\/2026\/06\/22\/house-of-the-dragon-season-3-episode-1-why-aemond-kissed-alicent\/\">Aemond&#8217;s<\/a> arrival at Harrenhal, but unless the series makes one of its biggest departures from Fire &amp; Blood yet, this injury is simply setting up the next chapter of his story rather than bringing it to an abrupt end.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Plus, Aemond and Alys stars Ewan Mitchell and Gayle Rankin just hinted that the story is headed in this direction.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Aemond and Alys&#8217; twisted relationship is only just beginning<\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5791\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5791\" style=\"width: 1200px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-5791\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.filmshrine.com\/uploads\/2026\/06\/4-12.jpg\" alt=\"Alys Rivers in House of the Dragon\" width=\"1200\" height=\"630\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.filmshrine.com\/uploads\/2026\/06\/4-12.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/cdn.filmshrine.com\/uploads\/2026\/06\/4-12-1024x538.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.filmshrine.com\/uploads\/2026\/06\/4-12-768x403.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-5791\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Credit: HBO<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Speaking to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/collider.com\/house-of-the-dragon-season-3-episode-2-aemond-alys-scene-ewan-mitchell-gayle-rankin-interview\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Collider<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> about their initial encounter, Mitchell said their first impression of one another was \u201cnot a great one.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI mean, it&#8217;s a hell of a way to make an entrance &#8211; Aemond killing everyone in the room, killing Simon Strong in front of you, and then meeting for the first time. Love at first sight,\u201d he quipped.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rankin added, \u201cYeah. There is something like a sick meet-cute about it. It\u2019s like the darkest, romantic, or complex meeting of matches in some ways. It&#8217;s like, what&#8217;s going to happen?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIt\u2019s a huge cliffhanger, but there&#8217;s a charge between these two characters, certainly, and a curiosity. And I do think something clicks in about, \u2018Are we keys to one another&#8217;s next step? How are we connected?\u2019 But it feels undeniable.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI think that&#8217;s how she feels. There\u2019s something undeniable about their connectedness.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mitchell went on to discuss Harrenhal, and his comments not only imply that Aemond isn\u2019t dead, but he could get a similar arc to Daemon in House of the Dragon season two.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI think Harrenhal is quite horror-esque, but I also think it&#8217;s like the White Lotus of Westeros, where it is almost like a spa retreat,\u201d he told the outlet.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5790\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5790\" style=\"width: 1200px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-5790\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.filmshrine.com\/uploads\/2026\/06\/3-12.jpg\" alt=\"Aemond in House of the Dragon\" width=\"1200\" height=\"630\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.filmshrine.com\/uploads\/2026\/06\/3-12.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/cdn.filmshrine.com\/uploads\/2026\/06\/3-12-1024x538.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.filmshrine.com\/uploads\/2026\/06\/3-12-768x403.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-5790\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Credit: HBO<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cYou go there, all of these toxins get drawn out of you, you confront your ghosts head-on.

You never come out the other side the same person.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rankin continued, \u201cAnd it kind of also adapts to your needs. It\u2019s like the best kind of spa, where it really is catered to your needs, which I think is exciting\u2026 Harrenhal is such a huge character in itself, and it lives and breathes.
