House of the Dragon
HBO’s “Game of Thrones” spin-off “House of the Dragon” is reportedly averaging approximately 34 million viewers per episode across HBO and Max platforms, just slightly lower than the 35 million viewers per episode the second season brought in.
That’s still one of the biggest in the network’s history and not far off the 37 million viewers per episode average the second season of “The Last of Us” did for the network. A fourth and final season of ‘Dragon’ is currently in the works. [Source: Variety]
