If you have any of the most popular Sky devices in your home - including Sky Q, Sky Glass or a Sky Stream box - then there are some new voice commands worth trying from today. To celebrate the hotly-anticipated return of House of the Dragon, Sky has released an update that helps fans of this show find content faster.

In fact, those wanting to tune in simply need to grab their remote controls - or shout “Hello Sky” if you're a Sky Glass owner - and then say one of 10 new commands to load up new and previously released episodes of this epic fantasy drama.

For example, saying things such as "House Green", "Hightower" and "Rhaenyra" will offer instant access to the latest episodes.

Here are all the new commands to try today.

Simply say...

Team Green, House Green, Alicent, Hightower, Team Black, House Black, Rhaenyra, Westeros, Targaryen or House of the Dragon collection.

Sky introduce new streaming TV 'Sky Glass' in 2021

Season two of House of the Dragon begins today, June 17, and will now air weekly on Sky Atlantic (Channel 108). Those without Sky can also watch via Sky's NOW service which currently has a deal offering Sky Entertainment for £6.99 per month rather than paying the full £9.99 price.

That discount lasts for six months and includes access to Sky Atlantic and House of the Dragon.

If you fancy signing up for a full-blown Sky package there are lots of different options available right now.

Those who want a standard Sky Q box - which uses a dish - can sign up for £31 per month with this price including full Netflix access.

Of course, Sky now offers other ways to tune into shows and movies with Sky Stream and Sky Glass both using an internet connection for content.

The latest Sky Stream box, which plugs into your existing telly, starts from £26 per month including Netflix.

If you fancy an all-in-one Sky Glass TV then you'll be paying £40 per month for the 43-inch screen with this price rising to £50 for the supersized 65-inch model.

All of these displays also feature an in-built sound bar, easy access to apps such as Disney+ and Prime Video along with bonus extras such as personalised recommendations and an easy way to store content via Sky's Playlist function.
