After reaching the midway point, House of the Dragon is set to continue with a stunning sixth episode. Fans are wondering exactly when they will be able to watch episode 6 of the series, which serves as a prequel to Game of Thrones. Set around 200 years before the events of that show, it delves into the complicated and chaotic history of House Targaryen. Here is the release date and time for the next episode on HBO and HBO Max.
When is the release date and time for House of the Dragon episode 6?
House of the Dragon episode 6 will be released on Sunday, September 25, 2022. The release time will vary depending on where you are in the world, so here is when the new episode will premiere in the US, the UK, and elsewhere:
- 6 p.m. Pacific Standard Time
- 8 p.m. Central Standard Time
- 9 p.m. Eastern Standard Time
- 2 a.m. British Standard Time (Monday)
- 3 a.m. Central Eastern Standard Time (Monday)
- 6:30 a.m. Indian Standard Time (Monday)
Episode 6 is called “The Princess and the Queen”. It is expected to delve into the growing friction between Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen and her father King Viserys Targaryen’s current wife, Queen Alicent Hightower. Though Rhaenyra is heir to the Iron Throne, it is clear that Alicent now has plans for her firstborn son, Aegon Targaryen, to swoop in and steal the crown.
Audiences will see another jump forward in time, with some of the cast replaced so that older versions of their characters can truly look the part. With the series already renewed for a second season by HBO, it’s likely that these new actors and actresses will remain in place for the foreseeable future.
