How To Watch HBO’s ‘House of the Dragon’ Season 2 For Free

Sunday nights once again belong to HBO. Why? Because Arli$$ has finally returned with new episodes! Wait, no. Sorry. I mixed up my HBO shows. Turns out that House of the Dragon has returned for another season.

We’re still waiting for that eighth season of Arli$$, HBO.

Anyway, in non-Robert Wuhl news, the immensely popular Game of Thrones prequel is finally back for another round of Sunday night intrigue. Fans have been waiting a minute for the show’s return. Many minutes, in fact, considering the Season 1 finale aired in October 2022. Streamers who’ve already devoured the season premiere should absolutely check out Meghan O’Keefe’s exceptional coverage on Decider. And if you’re looking for additional House of the Dragon content, HBO’s official HOTD podcast hosted by Jason Concepcion and Greta Johnsen has returned! In the latest episode of the season, Jason and Greta break down the premiere and talk with Olivia Cooke and Phia Saban about their tenuous position in King’s Landing.
