Season 2 of House of the Dragon kicked off with a bang, captivating audiences worldwide with the ongoing feud between Alicent Hightower and a mysterious princess. Despite a slight dip in viewership compared to its debut season, the premiere still drew in 7.8 million viewers globally, making it a massive success for HBO. The dark and suspenseful plot, complete with child murders, didn't deter fans from tuning in, especially in Europe where Warner Bros. Discovery saw its biggest season 2 streaming premiere to date. Since its 2022 premiere with 10 million viewers, the show has seen a 20% decrease in viewership, but with the dragon war intensifying, there's still hope for a resurgence in interest. As the story unfolds, it remains to be seen if House of the Dragon can continue to captivate audiences and keep them coming back for more.
