But the time has come to take stock and the dragon house sees negative numbers in the premiere of its new season, with a 22% drop compared to the series debut in 2022.
The first episode of season 2 of the prequel series Game of Thrones has harvested 7.8 million viewers, as reported by Variety, considerably less than the 10 million that the pilot of the series obtained two years ago. Let us remember that the peak audience of the dragon house It recorded its second episode with 10.2 million on the day of its premiere.
Less audience for the dragon housebut records for Max
Although this drop in spectators is not particularly positive, Warner Bros. Discovery has chosen to focus on Max’s records, which are barely a year old—even less in Spain, which was launched in May.
With that premise, Max has recorded its best premiere to date thanks to The House of the Dragon, above series like True Detective: Polar Night. As we say, it’s not like there have been any hits on the platform in the last year.
The drop in viewers is not alarming: 7.8 million viewers on the opening night of a series that can be seen on streaming are very good figures, although not as spectacular as those the series has been able to record.
We’ll see if there’s some comeback when war breaks out and Westeros once again becomes a more literal battlefield, and less through subterfuge and palace murders. On Monday the 24th, Max will release episode 2 of this second season of the dragon house.
