Who's watching 'House of the Dragon' and 'The Rings of Power'? New numbers shed light on the audience for both shows
Two big-budget fantasy shows airing at the same time, HBO's"House of the Dragon" and Amazon's"Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power," have invited comparisons, like viewership numbers.
But"The Rings of Power" is struggling to attract younger viewers. It leans older, with 71% of its audience over 35 years of age. But the streaming chart only includes"House of the Dragon" viewing on HBO Max. The show also airs on the HBO cable network, which Nielsen said would add 210 million viewing minutes to its total, bringing it to 1.17 billion minutes — more than"Rings of Power."
"The Rings of Power" in particular, though, has a lot of pressure on it given its hefty pricetag of over $400 million to make the first season, according toIt's faced growing pains, with harsh audience reaction . Some of that is due to racist fans leaving negative reviews at sites like Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic, but it's impossible to know how vast those kinds of responses are.
