In a surprise twist of events, House of the Dragon picked up the biggest TV award of the night, after very few actual nominations during the Golden Globes leadup, and a slow of other shows winning other awards throughout the night. Defeating retiring shows Better Call Saul and Ozark, regular Golden Globe winner The Crown, and breakout freshman drama Severance, HOTD did what Game of Thrones was never able to do, and won the top prize. A few more developments below…

With production of season 2 on the horizon it’s time to start looking ahead!
Ewan Mitchell gave his first ever interview for House of the Dragon in December (Inside the Episode featurettes notwithstanding), in which he discussed why his character, Aemond Targaryen, is the way he is and what we can look forward to next season.
Sorry for the delay, folks, but the nominations for the 80th Golden Globes were announced on December 12th and House of the Dragon has been nominated twice!
There was a lot to love about the first season of House of the Dragon and even more to hotly (heh) debate, so for a little bit of offseason fun, The Night’s Cast is bringing you the best of and not-so-best-of HOTD. It’s the first-ever Hottest D Awards!
The first season of House of the Dragon ended with a shocking death, a furious glare, and plenty of chatter about the season as a whole, and the Night’s Cast is no exception (about the chatter — not so much the death and fury).
In my first video essay on House of the Dragon, I discuss that fatal chase scene between Aemond and Lucerys and break down what makes Targaryens so damn self-defeating.
So with “The Black Queen,” we’ve reached the final episode of the first season of House of the Dragon, and with it, the concluding Twitter Recap. But! There’s hope on the horizon. In a mere two years, there’s more to come. And if there’s anything we’re good at in this fandom, it’s waiting…and waiting…and…waiting….C’mon, y’all, after waiting a decade for TWOW, we can do a little two-year wait standing on our heads!
This week, you cried for Lucerys, screamed at Aemond, cursed out Daemon, and cheered for Queen Rhaenyra. And yes, there was a solid round of “What the fuck”s with another terrifying birth scene. As far as TV trademark scenes go, that’s an interesting choice, but I salute their boldness.
The first season of House of the Dragon came to a strong finish with roughly 9.3 millions viewers across all platforms.
All good things must come to an end, and the first season of House of the Dragon is no exception. In the finale, “The Black Queen,” Team Rhaenyra learns of the death of Viserys and Aegon’s coronation…and then the hits just keep on coming. It’s time to settle in for the long wait for season two, but first let’s fly like Vhagar is on our tail (too soon?) straight into today’s interviews and videos!
