House Of The Dragon Season 2 Just Had Its Most-Watched Episode
Following the Season 2 premiere of House of the Dragon in June, the first episode after a two-year hiatus suffered a 22% drop in viewers from the series premiere in 2022. But now, the fourth episode of Season 4 has given House of the Dragon its highest-rated episode of the year.
Via The Hollywood Reporter, Episode 4 had 8.1 million viewers across HBO and Max, which eclipsed the Season 2 premiere's 7.8 million. By comparison, the first episode of House of the Dragon had 10 million viewers, and the Season 1 finale had 9.3 million. So the series hasn't managed to recapture all of those viewers, but there is positive momentum.
The reason for the uptick in viewers may have a lot to do with Episode 4's climatic showdown between three dragons that led to massive casualties on both sides. The entire series to date has been building to the Dance of the Dragons, the Targaryen civil war that took place almost two centuries before the events of Game of Thrones. Now that both factions have unleashed their dragons, more epic battles in the sky are inevitable.
