The widely anticipated Game of Thrones prequel ‘House of the Dragon’ attracted an onslaught of viewers, straining the streaming service on Sunday evening.<\/p>\n

Bloomberg’s Chen and Palmeri reports over 3,000 outage reporting across the global monitoring service Downdetector at 09:00hrs local time in New York; coinciding with ‘House of the Dragon’ premiere.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, a Warner Bros Discovery Inc. representative notes that the show is being “successfully viewed” by millions on subscribers.<\/p>\n

The parent company of HBO Max further in a statement said, “We’re aware of a small portion of users attempting to connect via Fire TV devices that are having issues and are in the process of resolving for those impacted users.”<\/p>\n

‘House of the Dragon’ premieres over three years after the saga of Game of Thrones concluded; the season eight finale drove in 19.3 million viewers, a record for HBO. The prequel, set nearly 170 years before the main events of Game of Thrones, focuses on the infamous Targaryen family’s bloody political conflicts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
