The wait is finally over, “La Casa del Dragone” arrived on our screens on Monday 22nd Augustreleasing its first episode via HBO Max. The long-awaited sequel, which takes place some 200 years before the events we see in “Game of Thrones”, brushed off its debut, becoming the best premiere in HBO history.
According to the same streaming platform, the Targaryen story managed to attract nearly 10 million viewers in the United States alone on its first day. These figures also represent the best one-night audience for HBO since 2019, when 19.3 million viewers were reached with the airing of the final chapter of “Game of Thrones”. Plus, it’s also the best launch to date in Latin America, Europe, the Middle East and Africa..
On the other hand, all of this happened despite the fact that the HBO Max app was discontinued for many subscribers on the night of its US premieredue to the large number of users who at that time wanted to access the platform.
It should be noted that these numbers leave the premiere of the original series a long way from that achieved by ‘The House of the Dragon’. ‘Game of Thrones’ only managed to reach 2.22 million viewers on the day of its premiere, although evidently the series at that time did not have the presence that HBO and the rest of the digital platforms have within our society today. , as well as it was a completely new and unknown series to the public.

As reported by The Hollywood Reporter, content director for HBO and HBO Max, Casey Bloys, offered a statement on the series premiere. “It was great to see millions of Game of Thrones fans returning to Westeros with us last night.. “House of the Dragon” features an incredibly talented cast and crew who have put their heart and soul into this production and we are delighted with the positive response from viewers. We can’t wait to share what else George RR Martin, Ryan Condal and Miguel Sapochnik have in store for us this season.”.
