Are you Game of Thrones fans ready to be hurt again? Good, because The House of the Dragon is set for release on Aug. 21, with episodes released weekly. This prequel series explores the beginnings of the Targaryen dynasty in Westeros, and has absolutely nothing to do with that notorious final season.

In the UK, you can either watch The House of the Dragon on Sky Atlantic or gain access to HBO content with a NOW subscription service. In the U.S., all you need is a subscription to HBO Max. That's all pretty simple, but what about if you're travelling and want to keep up with the Targaryens? In this situation, you'll need a VPN to bypass geo-restrictions.

If you are in a country that doesn't support Sky or HBO, you'll need a streaming-friendly VPN to stream The House of the Dragon. These services hide your real IP address and connect you to a server in the UK or U.S., so your favourite streaming sites think you're sat on the sofa at home. It's a relatively quick and easy process, especially if you're using a service like ExpressVPN. Users get strong connection speeds, an intuitive app, and a large network of secure servers. ExpressVPN can also reliably unblock Sky Atlantic and HBO Max from anywhere in the world.

A one-year subscription to ExpressVPN is on sale for £85.53, saving you 49% on list price. This discounted plan includes an extra three months and a year of unlimited cloud backup for free. Users also get 10 simultaneous connections, so you can stream securely on all your devices at the same.

Watch House of the Dragon from anywhere in the world with the best deal on ExpressVPN.
