I am the guy who will tell you all the latest news in film and television in 3DJuegos. I am passionate about science fiction, fantasy, superheroes and movie curiosities, those little behind-the-scenes stories of the directors and actors we have been following since we were little. My favorite saga? Star Trek. My favorite character? Superman, although lately a little more John Wick. One last thing, I promise not to bore you too much in my topics. LinkedIn
The first episode of the second season of The House of the Dragon can now be enjoyed through Max since last Sunday and Monday in Spain. The episode has disappointed part of the public due to one scene, and now we can say that it has also reached television in the US with a drop in viewership.
House of the Dragon returned to HBO and Max with 7.8 million viewers on its opening night in the United States, which represents a drop of 22% compared to the premiere of the first season of the Game of Thrones prequel in 2022. These are bad data, the truth is, but not as negative as it may seem at first .
In this sense, Variety reports, part of this drop is explained by the changes in viewers’ consumption habits, with nearly a million viewers who preferred to watch the episode on Max instead of on the HBO cable channel as was the tradition until a few years ago. So much so that, said media reports again, Max broke streaming traffic records.
The series has already been renewed for a third season.
The first season of The House of the Dragon had a peak audience of up to 10.2 million viewers, ending with up to 9.3 million people watching its last episode. We’ll see how the rest of the episodes go, although fans don’t have to worry: there will be a third season.
We leave you reading the spoiler-free review of the first four episodes of The House of the Dragon | Season 2. Remember that the future of the franchise not only depends on this spin-off, but also on another program that is already rolling these days and has revealed its first image, The Knight of the Seven Kingdoms.
