The prequel series, House of the Dragon, has soared to the top spot on the Apple TV Store's global top 10 list, showcasing its immediate success and strong audience engagement since its acclaimed first season. The show delves into the turbulent history of the Targaryen dynasty, exploring family conflicts and the mighty power of dragons that define the struggle for the Iron Throne.

Remarkably, the original series, Game of Thrones, continues to captivate viewers, securing the tenth position on the same Apple TV chart. Fifteen years after its debut, the series, which redefined fantasy television with its complex characters, political intrigue, and groundbreaking battles, proves its lasting legacy despite its divisive final seasons.

Both series are a testament to the vivid universe crafted by George R.R. Martin, whose 'A Song of Ice and Fire' novels laid the foundation for these television phenomena. Viewers can purchase or rent both Game of Thrones and House of the Dragon on the Apple TV Store, or stream them on HBO Max.
