One must also consider how viewership is measured. Nielsen, a reputable ratings firm, reported that House of the Dragon’s premiere attracted 7.8 million U.S. viewers for Season 2, a strong showing despite a slight decrease from the previous year.

Warner Brothers expects the full week’s numbers to be higher, possibly reaching between 20-25 million across all platforms.
