Game of Thrones (sometimes referred to as World of Westeros)[1][2][3] is a high fantasy multimedia franchise derived from the HBO television series of the same name, based on the A Song of Ice and Fire novel series by American author George R. R. Martin.

Several adaptations based on the stories, settings, and characters in the fictional universe have been made. The first television adaptation, Game of Thrones, which premiered in April 2011, holds the record for total Emmy Award wins for a scripted television series and for most Emmy nominations for a drama series. It also won a prestigious Peabody Award in 2011. The show set various viewership records domestically and internationally, with the final season averaging 46 million viewership across multiple platforms. HBO has acquired the television rights to the novels, with David Benioff and D. B. Weiss serving as the showrunners. Following the success of Game of Thrones and its conclusion in 2019, additional spin-off shows have been made. House of the Dragon, a prequel to Game of Thrones and based on parts of Martin's 2018 book Fire & Blood, premiered in August 2022, with Ryan Condal and Miguel Sapochnik serving as showrunners. In January 2026, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, another prequel series, based on Martin's Tales of Dunk and Egg novella series, premiered on HBO, with Ira Parker serving as the showrunner.

In 2026, Warner Bros. Pictures announced that a feature film covering "Aegon's Conquest", the first chapter in Fire & Blood, is currently in the works. In the same year, a stage play titled Game of Thrones: The Mad King, presented by the Royal Shakespeare Company in partnership with Warner Bros. Theatre Ventures, premiered at the Royal Shakespeare Theatre in Stratford-upon-Avon, directed by Dominic Cooke.

Several instrumental soundtrack albums, composed by Ramin Djawadi, have been released for both Game of Thrones and House of the Dragon. Fictional languages have also been created specifically for the show adaptations. American language creator David J. Peterson developed the Dothraki and Valyrian languages based on a few words and phrases written by Martin in his published novels.

Martin began writing the first volume of the novel series, A Game of Thrones, in 1991, and published it in 1996. Originally envisioning the series as a trilogy, Martin has released five out of seven planned volumes. The series has won multiple Locus Awards and a World Fantasy Award. It also earned multiple nominations for Hugo Award and Nebula Award. The fourth and fifth installments, A Feast for Crows and A Dance with Dragons, reached the top of the New York Times Best Seller list in 2005 and 2011, respectively. A Song of Ice and Fire is among the best-selling book series of all time, with 100 million copies reportedly sold to date.

Television

Three television series make up the Game of Thrones live-action franchise: Game of Thrones, House of the Dragon, and A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms. All series in total amount to 105 episodes across 12 seasons of television.

Game of Thrones (2011–2019)

Game of Thrones showrunners D.B. Weiss and David Benioff.

Game of Thrones is roughly based on the storylines of the A Song of Ice and Fire book series by George R. R. Martin, set in the fictional Seven Kingdoms of Westeros and the continent of Essos.[10] The series began development in January 2007.[10] HBO acquired the television rights to the novels, with David Benioff and D. B. Weiss as the series' executive producers and Martin as a co-executive producer. The intention was for each novel to yield a season's worth of episodes.[10] For filming, the show was shot in multiple countries: United Kingdom, Canada, Croatia, Iceland, Malta, Morocco, and Spain.[11] Nina Gold and Robert Sterne were the series' primary casting directors.[12] Through a process of auditions and readings, the main cast was assembled. The only exceptions were Peter Dinklage and Sean Bean, whom the writers wanted from the start; they were announced as joining the pilot in 2009.[13] The series premiered on April 17, 2011.[14] A critical and commercial success, it ran for eight seasons, concluding in 2019.[15]

Game of Thrones was considered a ratings success for HBO throughout all eight seasons.[16][17] The season five episode "The House of Black and White" was simulcasted in 173 countries, becoming the "largest TV drama telecast" according to Guinness World Records.[18] The show's success has been credited with an increase in the fantasy genre's popularity.[19] The show's success led to the commissioning of several fantasy television series, including The Wheel of Time and The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power by Amazon Studios.[20] According to Neil Gaiman, whose novels Good Omens and American Gods were adapted for television, Game of Thrones helped to change attitudes towards fantasy on television, but mainly it made big budgets for fantasy series more acceptable.[21]

Language creation

The books describe numerous languages spoken in the fictional world of A Song of Ice and Fire, among them are Dothraki and High Valyrian.[22] For the show, HBO selected the American language creator, David J. Peterson, through a competition among conlangers. The producers gave Peterson a largely free hand in developing the languages based on only a few words of High Valyrian (valar morghulis, valar dohaeris, dracarys) and Dothraki (khalasar, khaleesi) written by Martin in his books.[23][24] In 2014, Living Language released a conversational language course of Dothraki through a book and CD package accompanied with a companion mobile app and an expanded online version.[25] High Vayrian, on the other hand, is offered as a free course on the popular language app, Duolingo.[26]

House of the Dragon (2022–present)

In 2015, with Game of Thrones still in production, HBO executives approached Martin regarding possible successors or spin-offs to the series.[27] In November 2018, Martin stated that a "potential spin-off series would be solidly based on material in Fire & Blood."[28] Game of Thrones creators Benioff and Weiss stated they wanted to "move on" from the franchise and declined involvement in subsequent projects.[29] By September 2019, a Game of Thrones prequel series from Martin and Condal that "tracks the beginning of the end for House Targaryen" was close to receiving a pilot order from HBO.[30] In October 2019, House of the Dragon was given a straight-to-series order.[31] Condal and Sapochnik, who won an Emmy Award for directing the episode "Battle of the Bastards", were selected to serve as showrunners.[32]

House of the Dragon serves as a prequel to the television series Game of Thrones (2011–2019) and is the second television series in the franchise. It is based on Martin's 2018 novel Fire & Blood. The series is set two hundred years before the events of Game of Thrones[33] and chronicles the events leading up to the House Targaryen civil war, known as the "Dance of the Dragons", and the war itself. The first season of the series premiered in 2022 and consists of ten episodes.[34]

A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms (2026–present)

In February 2013, Martin commented that he had been in discussions with HBO regarding a potential adaptation of his Dunk and Egg novellas.[35] In March 2014, Martin expressed interest in adapting his Dunk and Egg stories for the screen, suggesting that they could serve as the basis for a film.[36] In July 2015, HBO programming president Michael Lombardo remarked that there was "enormous storytelling to be mined" in a prequel to Game of Thrones.[37] A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms series received an official order from HBO in April 2023.[38] By then, Ira Parker, a writer on the first season of House of the Dragon, had already written the script for a pilot episode.[39]

The first season of the series premiered in 2026 and consisted of six episodes.[40] Peter Claffey was cast as Ser Duncan the Tall and Dexter Sol Ansell as Egg.[41]

Game of Thrones, particularly the first six seasons, received acclaim, although the show's frequent use of nudity and violence was criticized. The series has an overall rating of 89% on Rotten Tomatoes and a score of 86 on Metacritic, indicating "universal acclaim".[66][67] Some critics and publications have called the show among the best HBO series of all time.[68][69] Reviewers of the first season said the series had high production values, a fully realized world and compelling characters.[70] According to Variety, "There may be no show more profitable to its network than Game of Thrones is to HBO. Fully produced by the pay cable and already a global phenomenon after only one season, the fantasy skein was a gamble that has paid off handsomely."[71] According to The Hollywood Reporter, the series made a "strong case for being one of TV's best series"; its seriousness made it the only drama comparable to Mad Men or Breaking Bad.[72] However, towards the final two seasons, due to lack of new material from the books, the series became less character-driven and more reliant on big twists and spectacle.[73] These seasons, especially season eight, received more criticism. Season seven was praised for its action sequences and focused central characters, but received criticism for its pace and plot developments that were said to have "defied logic".[74]

House of the Dragon received favorable reviews from most critics. On the review aggregator website, Rotten Tomatoes, the first season holds an approval rating of 90% based on 873 reviews, with an average rating of 7.85/10. The website's critical consensus reads, "Covering an era of tenuous peace with ferocious – albeit abbreviated – focus, House of the Dragon is an impressive prequel that exemplifies the court intrigue that distinguished its predecessor."[75] On Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, the first season received a score of 69 out of 100 based on 43 critic reviews, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[76] Lorraine Ali of Los Angeles Times said, "The exchange between mother and daughter, and the artful contrast of dueling knights and dutiful midwives, are powerful enough on their own to render the first episode a smashing success and show that House of the Dragon has a depth of understanding of its female characters that GoT took years to find."[77]

A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms received widespread praise. The review aggregator website, Rotten Tomatoes, reported a 94% approval rating, based on 176 critic reviews, with an average rating of 8.25/10. The website's critics consensus reads: "A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is a welcome return to Westeros that works better in the buddy-comedy arena rather than solely slaying its competition."[78] Neil Amstrong of the BBC called the series "a total delight from start to finish", rating it five stars. He commended the leads' performances, writing that Claffey and Ansell were "brilliant" and had "extraordinary" chemistry".[79] Daniel Fienberg of The Hollywood Reporter praised the series' scale, calling it a "smaller, smarter, funnier and more charming glimpse into George R.R. Martin's bigger-is-better realm".[80] Tasha Robinson of Polygon wrote that A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms was the "best path forward for the franchise", praising the "excellent character work and scene-setting".[81]

Further spin-offs

In January 2021, an adult animated spin-off series was announced to be in development at HBO Max.[96] In July 2021, two more animated series were in development at HBO Max, with one being set in Yi Ti, a nation in Essos loosely based on Imperial China.[97] The working title is The Golden Empire.[98] In March 2021, it was reported that three Game of Thrones spin-offs were in development at HBO; they include 10,000 Ships (from Amanda Segal), a reference to the voyages made by warrior queen Princess Nymeria, who later lands at Dorne; 9 Voyages aka The Sea Snake (from Bruno Heller), about the voyages of Corlys Velaryon on his vessel the Sea Snake; and a project based on Flea Bottom, the poorest slum in King's Landing.[99][100] In December 2023, it was announced that The Sea Snake is being developed as an animated series, having been previously announced as a live action series.[101]

Multiple ideas for successor series have not continued into production. In April 2019, Cogman confirmed his prequel would not be moving forward.[102] In June 2022, it was reported that a Jon Snow sequel series with Kit Harington to reprise his role was in early development at HBO.[103] The working title was Snow and Martin confirmed his involvement with the project and that Harington initiated the idea.[100] In April 2024, however, Harington stated the show had been shelved because they could not find a story that excited them enough.[104]

Theatre

Game of Thrones: The Mad King

A stage play called Game of Thrones: The Mad King by the Royal Shakespeare Company, in partnership with Warner Bros.

The initial reviews for the play were positive, with emphasis on its production.[126][127] Sarah Crompton of WhatsOnStage gave the play five stars stating that it is "an extraordinary moment of theatre: a procession of rich coloured silks and fluttering banners, with kings and princes riding life sized armoured horses, heads tossing as they move, a scrappy dog silhouetted barking at the scene".[126] Mark Lawson of The Guardian wrote, "This prequel to the TV series has one joust after another, spectacular stagecraft and plenty of modern resonance".[127]

Games

Tabletop games

Video games

Following the success of the HBO TV series, Game of Thrones motivated the development of several video games. Game of Thrones Ascent, a freemium social network game, was made available by Disruptor Beam in 2013 on Facebook and Kongregate. It was made in collaboration with HBO and Martin. The game combines storytelling and strategy elements, allowing players to lead the life of a nobleman during the time of upheaval portrayed in the novels and the TV series.[133] In 2014, Telltale Games produced a six-episode adventure game titled Game of Thrones: A Telltale Games Series.[134]

There are also several fan-made modifications ("mods") to commercial video games that allow playing in the world of A Song of Ice and Fire. These include a total conversion for the strategy game Crusader Kings II,[135][136] as well as the mods "War of the Usurper" for its predecessor Crusader Kings, "Westeros: Total War The Age of Petty Kings" for Medieval II: Total War, and "A Clash Of Kings" for Mount & Blade: Warband.[137]

In 2011, Ramin Djawadi was selected to score Game of Thrones.[150] Djawadi began composing the music for the show after he had watched the first two episodes of the series that the showrunners Benioff and Weiss sent him, and discussed the concepts of the show with them.[151][152] According to Djawadi, the show creators wanted the main title theme to be about a journey as there are many locations and characters in the show and the narrative that involves much traveling.[151] After Djawadi was shown a preliminary animated Game of Thrones title sequence that the visual effect artists were still working on, he was inspired to write the piece. He said that he started humming what would become the theme tune in the car after seeing the visuals for the title sequence, and conceived of the idea for the theme on the drive back to his studio.[153] The finished theme music was presented to the producer three days later.[154]

Soundtrack albums by Djawadi were released at the end of every season of Game of Thrones and House of the Dragon. A concert tour, called Game of Thrones Live Concert Experience featuring the music of Game of Thrones took place in 2017.[155] The tour involved an 80-piece orchestra, a choir, and seven custom 360-degree stages. Instruments were specially created for the tour, such as a 12-foot wildling horn played during the wildling attack on the Wall section.[156][157] A tour was also arranged for cities in Europe and North America in 2018, with new music from season 7 added.[158]

A companion album, For the Throne: Music Inspired by the HBO Series Game of Thrones, comprising songs that are inspired by the show, was released in 2019.[159] A single, "Power Is Power" by SZA, The Weeknd and Travis Scott, served as the lead single of the album.[160]

The exhibition was made up of several thematic areas representing locations in the series. Examples are the winter landscape of the North, the tree-lined King's Road, and the capital, King's Landing. The exhibit ran on different city stops worldwide from 2013 through 2019.[196][197][198][199][200]

There are also sneak peeks at the prosthetics and visual effects used in the show.[203] In 2025, the studio partnered with Magic Memories, a global leader in experience capture for the attractions industry, to launch the "Dragon Ride Experience". This new attraction utilises advanced green screen video technology, enabling visitors to ride a dragon and soar over the landscapes of Westeros via VFX.[204]

Convention

The Game of Thrones Official Fan Convention was a Warner Bros. and HBO-sanctioned event, in partnership with Creation Entertainment, held at the Los Angeles Convention Center from December 9-11, 2022.[206] It featured Game of Thrones stars Kit Harrington, Alfie Allen, Jack Gleeson, Kristofer Hivju, Kristian Nairn, Daniel Portman, Gemma Whelan, and Isaac Hempstead Wright.[207]. The convention also featured panel discussions, meet and greets, autograph signings, exclusive merchandise, cosplay, and trivia competitions.[208] Originally scheduled for February 2022, the official event was held to promote the prequel show House of the Dragon.[206][207][208]

Merchandise

Game of Thrones merchandise in HBO's New York City store.

On March 20, 2007, George R. R. Martin announced on his blog[209] that he had "signed a deal with Jalic, Inc. of East Lansing, Michigan, granting them a license to manufacture and sell full-sized high-quality replicas of the arms and armor from A Song of Ice and Fire, under the name Valyrian Steel,[210] starting with the bastard sword Longclaw wielded by Jon Snow (two versions). Since then Valyrian has produced replicas of the Stark family greatsword Ice (in two versions), Arya Stark's Needle, and Robert Baratheon's mighty warhammer. Dragonglass arrowheads and a single dagger have also been produced in a collectible First Men wooden box. Valyrian also announced that it will be producing HBO's show versions of Game of Thrones weapons, which differ in appearance from those described in the novels.[211][212][213]

HBO has licensed a variety of merchandise based on Game of Thrones, including games, replica weapons and armor, jewelry, bobblehead dolls by Funko, beer by Ommegang and apparel.[214] High-end merchandise includes a $10,500 Ulysse Nardin wristwatch[215] and a $30,000 resin replica of the Iron Throne.[216] Starting 2018, Diageo released several Game of Thrones themed whiskies.[217]
