With 9.3 million viewers, HouseOfTheDragon's Episode 10 was HBO's biggest finale since GameOfThrones in 2019.
Thanks to years of franchise fandom and arguably HBO’s biggest-ever marketing campaign, the “House of the Dragon” premiere’s nearly 10 million viewers outpaced the 2011 “Game of Thrones” series premiere by a considerable amount, as the latter was viewed by only 4.2 million. Comparing the two shows’ Season 1 finales, “House of the Dragon” wins — “Game of Thrones” concluded its first installation with 3.9 million viewers.
“House of the Dragon” is based on George R.R. Martin’s 2018 novel “Fire & Blood.” The series is set 200 years before the events of “Game of Thrones” and tells the story of House Targaryen. Martin co-created the series with Ryan Condal, who serves as co-showrunner with director Miguel Sapochnik. Martin, Condal and Sapochnik all executive produce alongside Sara Hess, Jocelyn Diaz, Vince Gerardis and Ron Schmidt.
“We’re so thrilled to see ‘House of the Dragon’ catch fire with ‘Game of Thrones’ fans around the world, as well as new viewers who are discovering the world of Westeros for the first time,” said Casey Bloys, chairman and CEO of HBO and HBO Max. “Congrats to George, Ryan, Miguel and the whole ‘House of the Dragon’ team on an incredible first season.”
