Did you watch the first episode of House of the Dragon, the Game of Throne Spin-off, on Sunday night? Did you, like us, enjoy it? Well, then we have good news.
HBO report that the show’s debut on August 21st was record-breaking, with the largest audience for any new original show in HBO history, topping 10m viewers watching as the episode aired live and almost twice that thanks to streaming and, as a result, they have renewed it for a second season already.
The series is based on George RR Martin’s novel Fire & Blood and is a ten-episode prequel depicting “how the House of Targaryen fell into a bitter and brutal civil war known as the Dance of the Dragons — presaging the beginning of the end of the ruling family of Westeros”.
While the series has yet to find its feet – hardly surprising since it’s only one episode in – it certainly seems that HBO are happy with where it’s going and are more than happy to make that known.
See you all on Sunday night…
