Game of Thrones
Original Broadcast Date: April 17, 2011
Summers span decades. Winters can last a lifetime. And the struggle for the Iron Throne begins. Based on the bestselling book series by George R.R. Martin and created by David Benioff and D.B. Weiss.
Season 1
In Season One, the story centers on three primary areas: the Stark and the Lannister families, whose designs on controlling the throne threaten a tenuous peace; the dragon princess Daenerys, heir to the former dynasty, who waits just over the Narrow Sea with her malevolent brother Viserys; and the Great Wall--a massive barrier of ice where terrible danger is stirring.
Season 2
With winter fast approaching, the coveted Iron Throne is occupied by the cruel Joffrey, counseled by his conniving mother Cersei and uncle Tyrion. But the Lannister hold on the Throne is under assault on many fronts. Meanwhile, a new leader is rising among the wildings outside the Great Wall, adding new perils for Jon Snow and the order of the Night's Watch.
Season 3
In Season 3, the Lannisters maintain their hold on King's Landing, though stirrings in the North threaten the balance of power. Meanwhile, Robb Stark faces a calamity; an army of wildlings march for the Wall; and Dany is reunited with her dragons.
Season 4
While the Lannisters' hold on the Iron Throne remains intact in Season 4, they face many threats--Stannis Baratheon; the 'Red Viper of Dorne,' Daenerys Targaryen--while the Night's Watch faces Mance Rayder's wildlings...and the dreaded White Walkers.
Season 5
In the wake of the numerous shocking deaths of Season 4, the season opens with a power vacuum that the various players all across Westeros and Essos scramble to fill. At Castle Black, Jon Snow must balance the demands of the Night's Watch with those of the newly arrived Stannis Baratheon. Meanwhile, Cersei struggles to hold on to power in King's Landing; Jaime embarks on a secret mission; Arya seeks out an old friend; Tyrion--now a fugitive--finds a new cause; and Daenerys finds that her tenuous hold on the city of Meereen requires hard sacrifices.
Season 6
Familiar faces will forge new alliances to bolster their strategic chances at survival...while new characters will emerge to challenge the balance of power in Season 6 of the blockbuster HBO series. In the wake of the shocking developments from Season 5--Jon Snow's bloody fate at the hands of the Castle Black mutineers; Stannis' defeat at the hands of the Bolton army...and death courtesy of Brienne of Tarth; Daenerys' near-demise at the fighting pits of Meereen; and Cersei's public humiliation in King's Landing--survivors regroup and press forward towards their uncertain fates. The all-star ensemble cast includes: Peter Dinklage, Lena Headey, Emilia Clarke, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau and Aidan Gillen.
Season 7
The long winter is here. Throughout seven thrilling episodes, the penultimate Season 7 of this blockbuster hit series focuses on a convergence of armies and attitudes that have been brewing for years.
Season 8
The Emmy(R)-winning series returns for a final season of duplicity and treachery, nobility and honor…and an epic clash between the living and the dead. With the Night King's army bearing down on Jon and Dany and their combined forces, a denouement eight seasons in the making will be reached, answering a myriad of questions surrounding the fate of the series' protagonists.
