Some time ago there was a theory according to this. David Benoff Y DB WeissThe creators of ‘Game of Thrones’ had ruined the chances of any ‘spin-off’ in the series by crowning Bran the Cripple, among other final decisions. A few Sundays ago, that assumption dissipated in a matter of hours, and the premiere of ‘House of the Dragon’ got ten million people watching via HBO platforms, and it only took place in the United States. Repeated success in Spain, where “watchtimes for the first episode exceeded all expectations,” as explained in a press release. Tatyana CarralDirector of Public Affairs for HBO Max Iberia.

The troubled man who gives us a fantastic summary of where we’ve come so far shortly after the episode begins: “The Queen is dead. And a girl is the first-time heir to the Iron Throne. The king’s brother has been disinherited, claiming Dragonstone is undisputed and established a colony of foreign power on our trade route.” Good luck to whoever is going to read it. explanatory dialogues in the next chapter: there will be an ordeal to be solved.
