What's On Tonight (Sunday): Her House was her castle and her keep

House of the Dragon

Who's got you? Here's what's on television for tonight, Sunday, July 5!

Our Top Pick tonight is House of the Dragon (HBO & HBO Max, 9 p.m.). Now in it's third season, the Game of Thrones prequel continues the tale of the Dance of the Dragons, a war of succession that took place about 200 years before the parent series and 100 years after the Seven Kingdoms were united. I have always had an appreciation for the show, even though not everything always landed. And this season is... quite good. (I say cautiously.)

Elsewhere, Sharkfest is back, Lestat records an album, Rick and Morty evolve, an Age of Electricity finds its Sparks, tea Built America, and go into the Chibiverse.

(All times are Eastern. All listings are new unless otherwise stated. For more listings, visit The Futon Critic or Gracenote.)
