'House of the Dragon' Becomes HBO's Most-Watched Season Finale Since 'Game of Thrones'
The series is set to return in 2024.
The season one finale of House of the Dragon is officially HBO‘s most-watched season finale since Game of Thrones.
According to reports, “The Black Queen” was viewed by a total of 9.3 million people across all platforms during its premiere on Sunday night — marking its most-viewed season finale in over three years. It still falls behind the 19.8 million viewers of the series finale of Game of Thrones in 2019, however, as well as House of the Dragon’s own series high of 10.2 million viewers in episode two.
“We’re so thrilled to see House of the Dragon catch fire with Game of Thrones fans around the world, as well as new viewers who are discovering the world of Westeros for the first time,” said Casey Bloys, Chairman and CEO, HBO and HBO Max. “Congrats to George, Ryan, Miguel and the whole House of the Dragon team on an incredible first season.”
The next season of House of the Dragon is scheduled to release in 2024.
Elsewhere in entertainment, the teaser for HBO’s Succession season four sees the Roy siblings teaming up to take down their father.
