House of the Dragonhas only just begun , but the Targaryen civil war has already been extended . HBO has harbinger that the serial , put about 200 yr before the events seen in Game of Thrones , will receive a 2d season , possibly because everyone and their female parent ( well , my female parent , at least ) watched last Sunday’sseries premiere .
Seriously,10 million peoplewatched it on Sunday night , and another 10 million have check it since then via HBO Max and on - demand , a bona fide smash hit by any modern metrical — and even more impressive when you remember how divisive the final season of Game of Thrones was . But Daenerys ’ rushed heel turn ostensibly did n’t deter anybody from want to check out what those Pt blond Targaryens were up to , which was principally displume Westeros apart in a fight for the Iron Throne between Rhaenyra , the king ’s verbatim girl and identify heir , and Daemon , the king ’s brother and closest male person in the blood of extraction .
With only one episode down , this warfare has n’t even really begun yet but is only the direction , and when it comes it will be here for a while , patently . Game of Thrones : Oops , All Targaryens!—er , House of the Dragon — airs Sundays on HBO Max .
