Los Angeles, September 21 - HBO Max's season 1 of the House of the Dragon is a smash hit and breaking records with each passing episode.

The Game of Thrones prequel series has been such a hit that episode 5 attracted 3% more viewers than Episode 4 in the USA, according to Variety. The website has reported that season 1 of the series is averaging a mammoth 29 million viewers per episode across its first five episodes.



"House of the Dragon" is showing the sign of going the "Game of Thrones" way, which averaged more than 44 million viewers per episode for its eighth and final season in 2019.

According to Nielsen (via Variety), 2.576 million people tuned into the 5th episode on HBO itself, a 4% increase when compared to last week's 2.474 million cable viewers.

The show, "House of the Dragon", is the biggest series premiere ever for HBO Max after the first episode was watched by nearly 10 million people across all platforms. The series has already been greenlit for the second season after the unprecedented response.

The show will see a narrative and casting shift after the 5th episode, as Episode 6 will mark a major time jump. The younger actors, such as Milly Alcock as Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen and Emily Carey as Lady Alicent Hightower, will trade their roles over to older actors Emma D’Arcy and Olivia Cooke, respectively.
