Nielsen Streaming Top 10: ‘House of the Dragon’ Hits 1.2 Billion Minutes Watched After Season 2 Premiere
In the first week of availability of the “House of the Dragon” Season 2 premiere, the series jumped to the No. 4 position on the Nielsen Streaming Top 10. The series hit 1.2 billion minutes watched from June 17 to 23.
That’s up from 741 million minutes in the previous window, during which the episode was only available for a few hours, as new installments release weekly on Sunday night. Therefore, this week’s total also accounts for the first few hours of availability of Season 2’s second episode. It should also be noted that all streaming totals for “House of the Dragon” represent only a portion of the show’s viewership, as it also airs on HBO’s linear channel.
