The trailer even appears to have won over new audiences, with one user admitting it convinced them to start watching the series from Season 1. Others said they have already cleared their schedules for the June 21 premiere.
This trailer looks absolutely insane — HBO just reminded everyone why House of the Dragon is the true king of fantasy television. The scale, dragon warfare, and pure tension feel bigger, darker, and more cinematic than ever.

The scale and cinematography in ‘HOUSE OF THE DRAGON' honestly feels closer to blockbuster films than traditional television at this point.
