As a dedicated gamer and avid fan of HBO’s “Game of Thrones” prequel, “House of the Dragon,” I’ve been eagerly anticipating the release of each new episode this season. The hype surrounding the show has only grown with the recent Nielsen ratings revealing that the second season premiere amassed an impressive 1.23 billion minutes of viewing on Max in its first week – a new peak for the series.
I’m thrilled to share that the second season of “House of the Dragon” is nearing its end, and we finally have some insights from Nielsen, the go-to source for reliable TV ratings, about its performance during the week of June 17-23. The highly anticipated premiere episode, titled “A Son for a Son,” debuted on HBO and Max last Sunday, June 16. So, how did it fare?
As a passionate gamer and an avid viewer, I can tell you that the latest episode of “House of the Dragon” on Max really took off! Based on Nielsen’s reports, the series reached new heights with a stunning 1.23 billion minutes watched in just one week following its season 2 premiere. That’s an impressive feat, surpassing the previous streaming record from season 1 when it managed to draw in 1.02 billion minutes viewed throughout the entire week.
As a longtime HBO subscriber and avid viewer of their critically acclaimed shows, I can’t help but notice a significant shift in viewing habits. Having grown up with the traditional linear TV experience, it’s fascinating to witness the rise of streaming services and the convenience they offer.
The “House of the Dragon” wasn’t the most-watched series during that particular week, taking the fourth spot. “Bridgerton,” which released the second half of its third season a few days prior, claimed the top position. “Your Honor,” starring Bryan Cranston and available on Netflix, ranked second. “The Boys,” with three new episodes dropped on June 13th, took the third place. Here’s the list of the ten most-watched shows that week:
- Bridgerton (Netflix), 2.47 billion minutes viewed
- Your Honor (Netflix/Paramount+), 1.95 billion
- The Boys (Prime Video), 1.29 billion
- House of the Dragon (Max), 1.23 billion
- Bluey (Disney+), 1.11 billion
- Grey’s Anatomy (Hulu/Netflix), 929 million
- Criminal Minds (Hulu/Paramount+), 882 million
- NCIS (Netflix/Paramount+), 881 million
- Family Guy (Hulu), 877 million
- Bob’s Burgers (Hulu), 862 million
The fourth episode of “House of the Dragon” season 2, titled “The Red Dragon and the Gold,” has once again topped the viewership charts. As we approach the final two episodes of this season, will the series conclude with great success?
