It looks like dragon fire does strike twice, at least in terms of viewership. The House Of The Dragon Season One finale is HBO’s most viewed episode since the Game Of Thrones series finale in 2019.

House Of The Dragon, which is a prequel series that is set about 200 years before the events of Game of Thrones and revolves around House Targaryen, reached 9.3 million viewers in the United States on Sunday night (Monday morning in Malaysia) across all platforms, based on a combination of Nielsen and first party data. That marked the biggest finale night for an HBO series since the conclusion of Game Of Thrones in May 2019.
