‘House of the Dragon’: When the ‘GoT’ prequel falls in your time zone

The clock is ticking: HBO’s House of the Dragon debuts on Sunday. The Game of Thrones prequel is awesome (read our review here), and hopes to recapture some of the magic that made its predecessor so incredibly popular.
Chronicle of the rise and subsequent fall of House Targaryen, House of the Dragon is about a fantasy civil war called The Dance of the Dragons, which erupted after two Targaryens began a blood feud over who gets to sit on the Iron Throne. It takes place 172 years before Daenerys Targaryen was born.
As 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: 9 p.m. Sunday, starting August 21. The show will air on streaming services around the world at the same time, including HBO Max in the United States.
Here’s when House of the Dragon is coming to a TV or streaming service near you, wherever you are in the world.

Game of Thrones was one of the world’s most acclaimed drama series, renowned for bringing Hollywood’s hit production to your TV. Part of the shine of the show faded in the last two seasons, however, as the HBO show was created at a faster rate than Martin could create new books. The sixth book in the Song of Fire and Ice series, Winds of Winter, is known for his constant delays.
Thankfully, House of the Dragon is allowing HBO to copy Martin’s notes again. 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 the Dragon picks up about halfway through.
