Based on Martin’s fantasy series of books A Song of Ice and Fire, Game of Thrones was a worldwide hit during its run between 2011 and 2019.
During its eight-year run, the series garnered numerous accolades and widespread acclaim, as well as record viewership on HBO.
However, Game of Thrones received significant backlash for its final season with many agreeing that six episodes was not enough for a satisfactory conclusion.
Disappointment mostly lay at the decision to make Bran (Isaac Hempstead Wright) the King, as well as the rushed arc of the vengeful Mother of Dragons (Emilia Clarke).
A Game of Thrones spin-off titled House of the Dragon is currently filming, and stars Eve Best, Paddy Considine, Matt Smith, Olivia Cooke, and Rhys Ifans. HBO has confirmed the series is scheduled for a 2022 release date.
All eight seasons of Game of Thrones are available to watch now on NOW TV.
