Okay, so I just finished the first episode of HBO’s A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, the Game of Thrones spin-off, and wow! The numbers are already through the roof – it seems like everyone tuned in. It’s a really strong start, and I’m already hooked.
A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms’ opening viewership numbers revealed
As a huge fan, I’m thrilled to see that ‘A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms’ is off to a fantastic start! The numbers are in, and it looks like HBO made the right call bringing us back to Westeros. Over 6.7 million people in the US tuned in across HBO and Max in just the first three days – that’s amazing!
The company reports that this series is one of the top three most successful launches ever on their streaming platform, although they haven’t revealed which other shows made that list. This quick success proves HBO was right to be optimistic about the series, and they’ve already confirmed a second season is planned for next year.
Although the first viewership numbers for A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms are strong, they’re a bit lower than the Season 2 premiere of House of the Dragon, which had 7.8 million viewers in 2024. It’s important to note that HBO now tracks viewing numbers differently, emphasizing total viewership over several days instead of just the first night. This shift reflects the increasing popularity of watching shows over a longer period (according to Deadline).
We’ll likely learn more about how the show is doing once HBO releases average viewership numbers for each episode over a longer timeframe. Data from companies like Nielsen and Luminate will also help us understand the season’s performance as more episodes air.
Taking place about a hundred years before the events of Game of Thrones and 72 years after House of the Dragon, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms tells the story of Ser Duncan the Tall and his apprentice, Egg.
Fans can stream it on HBO Max, as Episode 2 is right around the corner.
