Game of Thrones
Winter is coming.
Created by David Benioff, D. B. Weiss
On HBO
An expansive, violent political fantasy where dynastic intrigue and existential threat collide across a large ensemble, sustained by high stakes and persistent dread.
Seven noble families fight for control of the mythical land of Westeros. Friction between the houses leads to full-scale war. All while a very ancient evil awakens in the farthest north. Amidst the war, a neglected military order of misfits, the Night's Watch, is all that stands between the realms of men and icy horrors beyond.
