‘House of the Dragon’ Release Date: When It Hits in Your Time Zone

The Targaryens were weak at the start of Game of Thrones, with only two known survivors of the once great house. But the silver-haired Targaryens ruled Westeros for 300 years before that — a reign we get to see firsthand with the upcoming HBO show “House of the Dragon“. The Game of Thrones prequel takes us back 200 years, when Targaryens — and dragons — abound.

By chronicling the rise and subsequent fall of House Targaryen, House of Dragons hopes to recapture the magic that made game of thrones such a beloved hit — at least, for six seasons. of The play is about a civil war called Dragon Dancewhich erupted after the two Targaryens began a blood feud over who has the right to sit on the Iron Throne.

like game of thrones before that, House of the Dragon will air one episode at a time. It has its predecessor’s old prime-time slot: 9pm on Sundays, starting August 21. The show will hit streaming services around the world at the same time, including HBO Max in the US.

Here’s when House of the Dragon hits a TV or streaming service near you, no matter where you are across the globe.

Game of Thrones was one of the most popular drama series in the world, known for bringing blockbuster Hollywood production to your TV. Some of the brilliance of the show faded in the last two seasons, however, as the HBO show was created at a faster rate than Martin could churn out new books. The sixth book in the A Song of Fire and Ice series, The Winds of Winter, is notorious for constant delays.

Fortunately, House of the Dragon allows HBO to once again copy from Martin’s notes. The show is based on Fire and Blood, a book Martin wrote in 2018. Fire and Blood is the first of two volumes Martin is writing about the Targaryen dynasty: House of Dragons begins about halfway through.
