A new show has taken over as the most popular on HBO Max, bumping Noah Wylie’s medical drama from the number one spot. The show is proving to be a success as its first season comes to an end.
New data from FlixPatrol shows that a show on HBO Max is currently performing slightly better than the popular drama The Pitt, even as new episodes of The Pitt are being released. What makes this even more notable is that the HBO Max show, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, has only five episodes available, making its success especially impressive.
A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is a prequel to the popular HBO fantasy series Game of Thrones, which ended in 2019 with a finale that many viewers found disappointing. Despite the controversial ending, the new series has been a huge success and is currently performing better than most other shows on streaming platforms like HBO Max.
A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms Proves That Game of Thrones Is Alive and Well
Despite a divisive finale seven years ago and a mixed reception to the prequel House of the Dragon, the new series A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms demonstrates that the world of Game of Thrones still captivates audiences. There were concerns about whether any spin-offs could succeed, but this latest installment proves the franchise retains its appeal.
Filmed mainly in Northern Ireland, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms creates a believable and intimate world. It captures the charm of a Renaissance fair, complete with authentic-looking knights, jousting tournaments, lively taverns, and all the classic elements that make fantasy stories so engaging.
The new Game of Thrones prequel has received overwhelmingly positive reviews, with a 95% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes. This makes it more highly rated than both the original Game of Thrones series and House of the Dragon, placing it among the best episodes ever created for the franchise.
After the end of the original Game of Thrones series, some wondered if the franchise could continue successfully. However, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms demonstrates that the world of Westeros still has plenty of stories to tell. With its finale just a week away, this Game of Thrones prequel has quickly become a global hit.
A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms and The Pitt are available to stream on HBO Max.
