Dragons are on sale.

HBO has discounted its subscription price 40 percent ahead of the return of House of the Dragon for season three.

The sale cuts the cost of all three HBO streaming tiers — basic with ads, standard or premium.

The only catch: You can’t just pay for a month-by-month plan, you have to buy the annual plan, playing for 12 months in advance.

But given that HBO has Harry Potter coming in December, it’s not like the streamer doesn’t have some good stuff coming for genre fans.

Also, Dragon season three — which premieres Sunday — is currently averaging the show’s highest score yet on Rotten Tomatoes, with a 97 percent critics score.

The sale is good now through July 15 and you can check out the details here.

According to Warner Bros. Discovery’s most recent quarterly report, HBO Max topped 140 million subscribers and is estimates the streamer will hit 150 million by the end of the year.

“We are seeing healthy acceleration and subscriber-related revenue growth. which we expect will pick up real pace in Q2 and through the rest of the year,” David Zaslav told shareholders in May.
