Why is House of the Dragon not aired in Turkey?

We said goodbye in 2019 with a final episode far below expectations. game of Thrones The series still has a place that cannot be filled for many people. But that gap is the one that aired today, hundreds of years before the main series. House of the Dragon began to be filled with the series.

But those who want to watch House of the Dragon in Turkey face a big problem: The series is not officially broadcast on any platform or channel. So what is the reason for this situation? House of the Dragon Why? (legally) Can’t watch anywhere? Let’s take this issue.

First off, where is House of the Dragon streaming?

House of the Dragon, HBO’s new spin-off that brought the Game of Thrones series to life, is the company’s own content platform. It airs on HBO Max. The series is not available on any other platform.

Well we were able to watch Game of Thrones, why can’t we watch House of the Dragon?

Game of Thrones can still be watched on HBO Max today. But this was not always the case. Because the platform had just debuted in May 2020. So, it’s been almost a year since Game of Thrones came out when HBO Max came out. Game of Thrones is on air It aired on HBO’s own television channel.

The platform we watched Game of Thrones in Turkey when it was aired It was Digiturk’s Bein Connect platform. The series is nowadays in the BluTV library is located. In other words, the broadcast rights of the series in Turkey are not held by HBO, but by third parties. Well, why can’t we watch House of the Dragon, while we can watch Game of Thrones both at the time it was published and through an official publisher today?

HBO will come to Turkey(it was)

HBO now holds the broadcasting rights of all its productions to broadcast on the HBO Max platform. In fact, this platform where we can watch new HBO productions It was planned to come to Turkey this year as well. In fact, a general manager was appointed for the Turkey leg of the Platform. In other words, under normal conditions, we would be able to watch House of the Dragon directly on HBO Max in Turkey.

However, the information received recently, HBO has completely canceled its Turkey plans. had shown. Therefore, we are left with no way to watch HBO productions that do not currently have broadcast rights on a channel or platform serving in Turkey. In order to watch HBO’s new productions in Turkey under current conditions, the broadcasting rights of the series must be given to third-party broadcasters, as was the case during the Game of Thrones era. Worst of all, we have the index in the upcoming period. Indicating whether it will be officially published in Turkey there is no explanation.

In summary; HBO Max’s refusal to come to Turkey caused House of the Dragon to remain “unpublished” in Turkey. Since this renunciation happened ‘suddenly’, it seems that it was not possible to make a broadcasting rights agreement for Turkey until the series aired. In the scenario where HBO does not consider an alternative plan for Turkey, the only way we can watch the series ‘legal’ is to wait for a digital platform or TV channel serving in Turkey to sign a broadcasting rights agreement with HBO. Until it happens, House of the Dragon in Turkey there is no way for you to watch it legally.
