How to watch House of the Dragon online: stream the Game of Thrones prequel where you are
No queen has ever sat atop the Iron Throne, but when King Viserys I Targaryen names Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen, his first-born child, as his heir, the Houses Stark, Velaryon and Baratheon unite behind the ruler of the Seven Kingdoms’ decision. However, when Viserys’ younger brother, Prince Daemon Targaryen, disputes the ruling and the King bungles his opportunity to make his word final, any chance of a peaceful succession goes up in flames. War is afoot, and you can read on to find out how to watch House of the Dragon online wherever you are in the world.
Family feuds tend to get more than a little heated when the Targaryens are involved. Being named Viserys’ successor at such a young age means Princess Rhaenyra never had an opportunity to stake her claim to the Iron Throne, the most dangerous seat in the realm, and surely the least comfortable.
But in spite of the grand status of her uncle, a dragonrider and the most fearsome warrior in Westeros, she’s determined to take back what she believes to be rightfully hers, no matter the price.
This being the brainchild of George R.R. Martin, the main players change faster than you can say “Dance of the Dragons”, especially with the calculating Alicent Hightower and master puppeteer Eve Best corroding old alliances and forging new ones in those shadowy corners of the halls of power.
Brace yourself for a blitz of betrayal, bloodshed, and bleach blonde hair. Here’s how to House of the Dragon online where you are.
