House of the Dragon is an American television series adapting the novel Fire and Blood by George RR Martin released in 2018. It is a chronicle dedicated to the Targaryen dynasty and above all a prequel to Game of Thrones, hit HBO series from 2011 to 2019. The first episode of House of the Dragon is broadcast on August 22, 2022. Season 2 is broadcast in France from June 17 to August 5, 2024.
House of the Dragon is set between 200 and 170 years before the events of Game of Throne. The series focuses on the period known as the “Dance of the Dragons”, a period of unrest in Westeros where the Kingdom is split into two camps which support the accession to the throne of two different heirs. At the time, Viserys Targaryen was first on the throne of Westeros. He has no male heir from his first wife but a daughter named Rhaenyra who could succeed him. However, he obtained sons from his second marriage, which disrupted the order of succession and created the seeds of dissension.

In France, the first season of House of the Dragon was first broadcast on OCS. But from this season 2, that changes. It is now on the Max streaming platform, launched in France on June 11, a few days before the release of the first episode, that you have to go. The first episode is broadcast on June 17, 2024. Thereafter, the broadcast will be one episode per week, with a finale probably scheduled for August 5, 2024. If, however, you are subscribed to the Canal+Ciné offer Series, Canal+ Friends & Family and Canal+ Intégrale, or the Prime Video Warner Pass, you have access to House of the Dragon at no extra cost.
Aside from its last two seasons, Game of Thrones has always offered ten-episode seasons since its launch in 2011. House of the Dragon follows the example of the original series and replicates this same rhythm. Season 1 of House of the Dragon therefore has 10 episodes, lasting around an hour, but season 2 only has eight, of a similar duration a priori.
