House of the Dragon episode 9 release time (by time zone)

House of the Dragon episode 9 premieres on TV tonight. The penultimate episode of the season, it’s going to be a big one. Just when can fans expect it to arrive?

Well, it’s been quite the adventure having the Game of Thrones universe back on our TV screens, hasn’t it? HBO’s global phenomenon made a gripping comeback via prequel series House of the Dragon, which quickly proved that it had every bit as much fire in it as its predecessor (in spite of that show’s questionable finish).

King Viserys’ misfortunes have followed him throughout the course of the season, resulting in some terrible decisions and misguided attempts to protect his family’s secrets, and the Targaryens’ place in history (or, well, on the Iron Throne).

Things have spiralled for not just him but his daughter Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen, Queen Alicent Hightower, and the dangerous Daemon Targaryen, because, well, if you watched Game of Thrones, you know that the people in this world aren’t exactly the most upstanding of people, and they will do whatever it takes to cling onto power.

But with just one episode left before the season 1 finale, how will House of the Dragon set the stage for the conclusion of its debut season? Well, it’s going to be thrilling, no doubt, but before we can find out the answer to that question, let’s find out when we can expect the penultimate episode to air in your neck of the woods.
