With just three more installments in the first season of the fantasy series House of the Dragon, fans are wondering exactly when they will be able to watch episode 8 on HBO and HBO Max. The stakes are consistently being raised in the show, and after the episode 6 time jump that brought audiences 10 years ahead in the story, there’s more than ever on the line. Here’s when you will be able to watch the next episode.
When is the release date and time for House of the Dragon episode 8?
House of the Dragon episode 7 will be released on Sunday, October 9, 2022. Depending on where you are in the world, the local release time will differ. 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 8 is called “The Lord of the Tides”, which is a title that’s traditionally claimed by those who head House Velaryon. Judging by recent events, their mark left on Westeros’ history is about to be even heavier.
House of the Dragon release schedule
HBO and HBO Max air new episodes of House of the Dragon every Sunday, with the season 1 finale set to debut at the end of October. Here are the release dates for each upcoming new episode of the show:
- Episode 8, “The Lord of the Tides”: October 9, 2022
- Episode 9, “The Green Council”: October 15, 2022
- Episode 10, “The Black Queen”: October 22, 2022
House of the Dragon has already been renewed for a second season. HBO gave the good news just five days after the series’ record-breaking premiere. Exactly when we can expect it to hit screens, however, remains to be seen. It’s likely that it will follow a similar release pattern to season 1, but looking back at the final few seasons of Game of Thrones, it wouldn’t be surprising if it took longer than 12 months to complete season 2 and get it to air.
