House of the Dragon Surges on Streaming After Season 3 Trailer

HBO’s House of the Dragon is once again popular on streaming services. After not appearing on HBO Max’s top ten list for a few days, it has now climbed to eighth place, according to data from FlixPatrol.

The increase in streaming viewers happened right after the new trailer for House of the Dragon Season 3 was released. The trailer announced the premiere date on HBO Max for June, and this likely prompted both existing fans to rewatch earlier seasons and new viewers to start watching the show.

House of the Dragon Gets HBO Max Streaming Boost Ahead of Season 3

It’s been nearly two years since new episodes of House of the Dragon aired on HBO. Naturally, fans are excited to return to the world of Westeros and the intense conflict known as “The Dance of the Dragons.”

Taking place 200 years before Game of Thrones and around 100 years before A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, House of the Dragon tells a story of conflict. The trailer for Season 3 is much more intense than previous previews, showing a kingdom completely engulfed in war. The season’s tagline warns of a time filled with “fire and darkness.”

The premiere of the show on HBO and HBO Max drew a record-breaking number of viewers, making a renewal almost certain. It’s also been well-received by critics, with an 87% positive rating on Rotten Tomatoes. The first season scored 90%, while the second season received an 84% rating.

The first Game of Thrones spin-off series is ending soon, but the world of Westeros isn’t shrinking. A second season of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is already being filmed, and a Game of Thrones movie is now confirmed to be in development.

HBO has renewed both House of the Dragon and A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms for another three years, exciting fans of the Game of Thrones world. According to Francesca Orsi, Head of HBO Drama Series and Films, these shows demonstrate the incredible depth and imagination of George R. R. Martin’s universe.

House of the Dragon Returns to HBO In June

George R.R. Martin and Ryan Condal developed House of the Dragon for HBO. Martin became less involved after disagreements with Condal regarding changes made when adapting the story for television.

The cast of House of the Dragon is full of talented actors. Milly Alcock (known from Supergirl) appeared in the first season, and season two features Emma D’Arcy, Olivia Cooke, Ewan Mitchell, Stephen Toussaint, Matt Smith, Fabien Frankel, Rhys Ifans, Phia Saban, Matthew Needham, Ty Tennant, and Sonoya Mizuno.
