Game of Thrones’ Newest Spinoff Transforms It Into a Global Hit on iTunes

by

Fans worldwide are turning to iTunes to revisit a beloved fantasy series. While the show is currently a hit on HBO and HBO Max, its success originally stemmed from the source material it’s based on. The HBO adaptation is now a Top 10 show globally.

Game of Thrones was a pioneer in what’s now called ‘appointment television’ – people would plan their Sunday nights around watching the show on HBO to keep up with all the exciting events in Westeros. It also became famous for sparking huge conversations on social media, with hashtags like #DemThrones consistently trending.

Even though Game of Thrones has ended, it remains popular with fans. Proof of this is its current ranking as the #4 TV show on iTunes globally, according to data from FlixPatrol.

Despite airing its final episode six years ago, Game of Thrones remains popular, currently ranking around #5 overall. It was even the #1 show in Germany for the past six days before dropping to its current position. This resurgence in views, particularly on iTunes, seems to be driven by interest in the new spinoff series.

What Game of Thrones’ Global Success Means for A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms

The show A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms launched on January 18th and immediately gained popularity. Viewers are eagerly watching anything related to Game of Thrones on HBO, as shown by the success of House of the Dragon‘s first two seasons. HBO has already confirmed it will continue the series with another season.

HBO quickly renewed A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms even before the first episode aired, demonstrating their strong confidence in the Game of Thrones universe. If the new spinoff can attract a large international audience with just four episodes, it suggests a promising future for the franchise.

Fans of Game of Thrones have a lot to anticipate in the new series. A key reveal is that the character Egg is actually Aegon Targaryen, who will eventually become king. The role of Egg is played by Dexter Sol Ansell, and Peter Claffey stars as Ser Duncan the Tall. Watching Game of Thrones again will give you a deeper understanding of the story in A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms.

The show features a talented cast including Daniel Ings, Bertie Carvel, Danny Webb, Sam Spruell, Shaun Thomas, Finn Bennett, Edward Ashley, Tanzyn Crawford, Henry Ashton, Youssef Kerkour, Tom Vaughan-Lawlor, and Daniel Monks.

You can watch Game of Thrones on iTunes or stream it on HBO Max. A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is available on HBO and HBO Max, airing Sundays at 9 p.m. Eastern Time.
