House of the Dragon episode 8 release time (by time zone)

House of the Dragon episode 8 will make its presence felt on HBO this weekend. What time can audiences expect the new series’ most recent episode in their region?

House of the Dragon returns to screens this week with a brand new episode. The series has captivated fans since its arrival, bringing the Game of Thrones craze back into the public eye and proving that the conversation is far from over.

Another thing that is far from over is the shenanigans that the Targaryens get up to, with the first seven episodes of House of the Dragon showcasing how they came to be such a dramatically flawed and unhinged family. And with three more episodes left to go this season, you can rest assured that things will only get ore outlandish for the dragon-guarded clan.

The next episode, “The Lord of the Tides“, will bring the show one step closer to its conclusion, setting the stage for what is sure to be an unforgettable final two episodes. That said, you certainly won’t want to miss this one, because episode 8 of House of the Dragon is shaping up to be the show’s biggest installment yet.

If you’re ready to watch it, you might want to know how early you can tune into it. On that note, let’s find out when it starts in your area.
