After an epic dragon battle in the skies above Rook's Rest, last week's episode of House of the Dragon focused on the fallout and saw plenty of manoeuvring from the leaders of the Seven Kingdoms.
It was also quick to answer the question that was on everyone's lips after the cliffhanger ending – did King Aegon survive the beastly battle? If you missed the episode then you'll want to check out our helpful recap which will make sure you are up to speed.
If you're all caught up then you’ll want to know how you can watch this week’s episode.
Here’s how to watch House of the Dragon season 2 episode 6 on TV and online – it airs on Sunday, July 21 in the US and on Monday, July 22 in the UK and Australia.
How to watch House of the Dragon S2 E6 in the US
You can watch the sixth episode of House of the Dragon season 2 in two ways: online or using a cable plan.
Starting with the latter, you can watch House of the Dragon season 2 episode 6 on HBO or HBO Latino channels. Ep. 6 will be released on Sunday, July 21 at 9 pm ET/6 pm PT. The episode will be repeated countless times over the next few days at varying times.
A few live TV streaming services let you purchase HBO as an add-on package if you don't have it already. The list includes Sling TV, DirecTV and YouTube TV, with it available if you pay a little extra per month.
To stream House of the Dragon season 2 episode 6 on demand, you can sign up to Max where it'll appear as soon as it airs on HBO, joining all the previous episodes.
Max costs $9.99 per month for its basic tier or $16.99 per month for its ad-free one. There's another higher tier but it's for high-res movie streaming so it won't affect House of the Dragon.
How to watch House of the Dragon season 2 episode 6 in the UK
There are two ways to watch House of the Dragon season 2 episode 6 in the UK, both of which start on Monday, July 22.
Firstly, to watch it on live TV, Sky Atlantic will air the episode at 2 am... if you value your sleep ahead of the first day of the working week, it'll repeat at 9 pm that evening.
Then to watch it on demand, the episode of House of the Dragon will be available as part of Sky TV's and Now's libraries as soon as it airs on Sky TV.
You can watch it on Sky Atlantic or Sky TV's library if you subscribe to Sky. This costs £26 per month (with the occasional free trial or discount thanks to Sky TV deals) for its basic tier.
Now costs £9.99 per month so it's a bit cheaper but doesn't offer Sky TV's live channels, so deciding between the two is as much about which other parts of the subscription you're interested in, as much as the price.
How to watch House of the Dragon season 2 episode 6 in Australia
