HBO’s Game of Thrones prequel is available to stream and watch live on Sky Atlantic and Now. Set hundreds of years before the events of cult fantasy classic Game of Thrones, the ambitious spin-off captivated audiences with its dragon-based political intrigue, royal backstabbing and its all-star cast of household British names.

Season one concluded in 2022 with tensions at a fever pitch. The fragile peace brokered by King Viserys Targaryen (Paddy Considine) had shattered. Rhaenyra Targaryen (Emma D’Arcy), heir to the Iron Throne, and her half-brother Aegon Targaryen (Tom Glynn-Carney) now stood poised for a brutal civil war known as the Dance of the Dragons.

As for whose heads are flying? House of the Dragon’s core cast – including Matt Smith, Olivia Cooke and Rhys Ifans – are all returning. Season two also sees the introduction of several new players, among them Simon Russell Beale who was in the role of Ser Simon Strong.
Sky Atlantic began showing new episodes of House of the Dragon weekly on Mondays, starting 17 June. That means Sky TV subscribers can watch without having to sign up for any extras. New episodes air at 2am on Monday on Sky Atlantic (that’s late on Sunday night, for the avoidance of doubt), to coincide with HBO’s schedule in the US. If you value sleep over dragons, you can catch the same episode again at the more civilised hour of 9pm on Monday evening.
