With only a few days until the premiere of the Game of Thrones prequel House of the Dragon, Roku and HBO Max teamed up to give new and seasoned fans of the franchise an immersive experience on their Roku devices.
With examinations at the Houses, introductory Game of Thrones highlights and access to fan-favorite episodes within HBO Max, Roku promises to bring viewers closer to Westeros than ever before.
It’s Roku’s biggest streaming SVOD campaign to date, and Roku introduced a new fan show, Roku Rundown, from the Roku Brand Studio. The 15-minute fan special is hosted by Tiffany Smith and Andre Meadow and will recap Game of Thrones ahead of Sunday night’s premiere of House of the Dragon.
The experience also includes trailers, themes, freebies and retail activations for fans that bring the series to life.
From Aug. 19 to Aug. 21, users can access the House of the Dragon fan experience on Roku devices’ home screen menu.
