What Is Game Of Thrones?
Game of Thrones is a popular fantasy-drama TV show based on the book series by George R. R. Martin. It follows a huge cast of characters in the fictional continent of Westeros, with the main storyline being the fight over who gets to assume the Iron Throne and rule over the Seven Kingdoms.
GoT won several awards and broke records during its eight-season run from 2011 to 2019. It won 58 Emmys (the most by any drama series) and made stars out of its actors (who have also been nominated for individual awards for their performances).
How Has The GoT Cast Changed Over The Seasons?
Unlike other shows that keep their leads alive and intact until the end, Game of Thrones isn’t scared to kill off a beloved character or two. In fact, the show earned a reputation for no one being truly safe, especially once the TV show had gotten past the storylines laid out in the books.
As a result of that and the sheer epic scale of the story, the Game of Thrones cast is one of the largest ever on television with more than 250 names on the IMDb page, ranging from supporting characters like The Mountain to major antagonists such as The Night King.
