Both series have thus far seen returns, in terms of ratings. House of the Dragon brought HBO its biggest-ever premiere, toppling Euphoria‘s as nearly 10M viewers tuned in during the show’s first week. And The Rings of Power likewise made history at Prime Video, reportedly bringing in a record 25M viewers on premiere day and 100M+ globally in total, as House averaged 29M per episode. Amazon’s candor as far as viewership had been a point of focus, given how rarely Prime Video offers a window into streaming stats, though the hype as far as Rings‘ success was thrown into question amidst reports that just 37% of domestic viewers and 45% internationally had finished the whole series.
