The first season of the fantasy drama television series House of the Dragon premiered on HBO on August 21, 2022, in the U.S. and concluded on October 23, 2022. It consists of ten episodes, each of approximately 1 hour. The series is based on Fire & Blood by George R. R. Martin, adapted for television by Ryan Condal and Miguel Sapochnik.
The first season received highly positive critical reviews, with praise going towards its character development, writing, score, and performances (particularly Considine, Smith, D'Arcy, Alcock, and Cooke). However, the pacing, specifically of the time jumps, and the lighting of some scenes were criticized. The series premiere was watched by over 10 million viewers across the linear channels and HBO Max on the first day, the biggest in HBO's history.
