Filming of the next Game of Thrones spin-off is officially under way, as House of the Dragon season 2 helps Max to its biggest day ever

A still from the upcoming show A Knight of Seven Kingdoms.

Filming is officially under way on another Game of Thrones spin-off, as House of the Dragon season two helped the streaming service Max to its biggest day ever.

According to Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD), some 7.8 million people tuned in to watch the first episode of House of the Dragon's second run on Sunday (June 16), across both HBO and Max; that figure was down from the 10 million who watched the first season's premiere, but it still helped Max to its biggest global streaming day ever, according to Variety. Admittedly, the comparison is not exact, given that Max didn't exist when HOTD S1 arrived, but it's still an impressive figure all the same.
