House of the Dragon is set to premiere at the end of this week — and Disney+ Hotstar has now confirmed that the prequel to Game of Thrones will debut at the same time as in the US. Starting August 22, new episodes stream every Monday at 6:30am IST on the platform, with no delays in comparison to the HBO Max release. The 10-episode series is based on author George RR Martin's ‘Fire and Blood' novel, and is set centuries before the events of A Song of Fire and Ice.
Each final GoT season. This ensures you won't run into spoilers online.
However, there might be one tiny issue for video nerds. With Game of Thrones season 8, instead of having the episode ready to go on the platform, the Disney+ Hotstar already has the episodes ready to go.
It's interesting that Disney+ Hotstar is taking this step with House of the Dragon from the start. Prior to the eighth and final season, Game of Thrones episodes dropped weekly on Mondays at 7:30am IST, on Hotstar. The episodes were GoT season 8.
As a prequel to Game of Thrones, House of the Dragon is set two centuries prior and focuses on the Targaryen family. The 10-episode series serves as a build-up to the Dance of the Dragons civil war, as Daemon Targaryen (Paddy Considine), who doesn't have a male heir.
House of the Dragon is co-created by Ryan J Condal (Colony) and Miguel Sapochnik, who directed some iconic Game of Thrones episodes including the "Battle of the Bastards." The show also stars Rhys Ifans as Otto Hightower.
House of the Dragon premieres on August 22 at 6:30am IST on Disney+ Hotstar in India.
