He couldn’t be at the top every week. “The House of the Dragon” became the best premiere in HBO history with the broadcast of its first chapter, and with the second it even managed to increase its audience. However, in its third week, the “Game of Thrones” spin-off. experiences its first drop in ratings, although it is still an undeniable success, of course.

The third episode, titled ‘The Second of His Name’, was watched in the United States by 2.5 million viewers in its four linear broadcasts on Sunday 4 September (i.e. on mainstream television). It’s still a good number, but it means a loss of one million viewers over the previous weekaccording to Nielsen data.

As for viewers of the streaming series, HBO did not release ratings this time, despite it having done so in the previous two weeks. In the US alone, the pilot was seen by 9.99 million viewers on the first night, adding linear and streaming, while the second rose to 10.2.

The pilot was seen by 3.2 million on the first night alone on linear broadcasts in the United States, rising to 3.5 with the second. These figures do not include streaming, where ‘La Casa del Dragon’ gets the most viewers, almost tripling the result. In Spain, the series also premiered on HBO Max, breaking the record for most viewers of a new series or movie on an HBO streaming service, although the streamer did not reveal specific figures. “House of the Dragon” is now officially renewed for a second season.

They promise to fix the CGI error

Years after that infamous glass of coffee that slipped into “Game of Thrones,” his prequel once again caused a stir due to another similar mistake. In this case, the oversight consists of a take where Viserys Targaryen (Paddy Considine) can be seen with two green fingers, which should have been canceled in post-production. According to Variety, HBO assumes the error and promises to correct it, by uploading the correct version to its platforms soon.
