Warner Bros. Discovery has announced that the second episode of HBO’s “House of the Dragon” drew in 10.2 million viewers across HBO and HBO Max following its Sunday airing.
That’s a 2% increase from the premiere episode, which was viewed by just under 10 million in the same first-day counting period. The premiere was HBO’s biggest premiere of all time and more than doubled the series premiere of the original ‘Thrones’ back in 2011.
The series scored an early renewal for a second season on Friday, by which time the viewership of the premiere had risen to 20 million and now has reportedly hit around 25 million.
That second episode viewership is also not far off the 10.3 million who tuned into the second episode of the eighth and final season of “Game of Thrones”.
