House of the Dragon: The ratings climbed even higher with the 3rd episode
The course of the Game of Thrones prequel series is steadily sweeping
House of the Dragon, which we can say has already been adored so early by fans of the George RR Martin universe, continues to sweep television ratings at a steady pace .
And we say steadily because for another week the TV ratings of the prequel show of Game of Thrones climbed and even dynamically. In particular, the 3rd episode scored more than 16 million viewers combined on HBO platforms, which means that it increased by 27% compared to the previous episode, although we should note that the Labor Day holiday in the USA contributed.
A few words about House of the Dragon:
In case you don’t know, this is the first spinoff show of the George RR Martin universe , through which we will be transported 200 years before the events of “A Song of Ice and Fire”, where the House of Targaryen was at its zenith . ” Gods. Kings. Fire. Blood ” these are the words with which HBO prefaces the series and will take us to the events that lead to the end of this once glorious House and the Targaryen civil war known as the ” Dance of Dragons “.
