It's almost time for Fire and Blood. House of the Dragon, the first Game of Thrones spin-off show, is almost here, and fans around the world are eager to see if it'll live up to the hype that surrounded its predecessor. Well, the first seven seasons at least.
House of the Dragon will launch exclusively on HBO Max on Sunday, August 21. While most fans will already know about its release date, there's been some confusion about what time the show's first episode will be released. Luckily for you, we're here to provide a definitive answer.
Below, we'll explain when House of the Dragon's premiere will be released on HBO Max. Additionally, we'll detail where international Game of Thrones fans can stream it, what with HBO Max not being available in certain territories. Finally, we'll run you through the HBO Max show's full release schedule, meaning you will never miss an episode of the highly anticipated fantasy series.
Here, then, is when House of the Dragon episode 1 will launch on HBO Max.
When will House of the Dragon premiere on HBO Max?
House of the Dragon episode 1 will be released on HBO Max on Sunday, August 21 at 9 PM ET / 6 PM PT.
The show will officially launch in the US' Eastern time zone, but that just means that audiences on the Pacific coast will be able to watch it three hours earlier than their fellow US-based viewers. Those are the breaks when you live in different time zones in America.
Incidentally, Canada-based audiences will also be able to stream House of Dragon's opening episode at the same time as their US counterparts. However, Canadians will have to tune into Crave in order to watch it.
Where can I watch House of the Dragon in the UK and non-US territories?
HBO Max isn't available in some countries outside of North America, although it is available in some nations including Portugal and Latin America. However, other international fans may be worried about when and where they can stream House of the Dragon.
Thankfully, the Game of Thrones spin-off will be available to watch on a variety of streaming services and TV networks. We've listed those platforms, as well as the time and dates, that you'll be able to watch House of the Dragon below in non-US markets, below:
