Spoilers follow for House of the Dragon episodes 1 through 3.

House of the Dragon episode 4 is almost here. The hit HBO Max series is nearing its midway point and, given what's transpired in recent episodes, things are only going to escalate further for House Targaryen's major players from now on.

For starters, Princess Rhaenyra is doing her best not to get married off by her father Viserys I. Meanwhile, she's having to contend with the prospect that Viserys and Alicent's first-born son could yet become the new heir to the Iron Throne. Add in the fact that her uncle (and former ruler-in-waiting) Daemon has just won a key battle against the Crabfeeder army at the vital location known as the Stepstones, and he too could be back in the mix for the throne, too. Hey, it wouldn't be a Game of Thrones project without complex characters and even more complicated storylines and subplots.

But we digress. You want to know when House of the Dragon's fourth episode will make its way onto HBO Max. Below, we'll explain what time it'll land on the streaming service, as well as where you can watch it in world regions where HBO Max isn't available. Finally, we'll reveal when episodes 5 to 10 will launch worldwide.

Here, then, is when House of the Dragon episode 4 will be released on HBO Max.

That's the exact same time as previous installments have aired on Warner Bros' streaming platform, and it's unlikely to change throughout the first season's 10-episode run.
