S8·E6 The Iron Throne

Episode recap

In the aftermath of the devastating attack on King's Landing, Daenerys must face the survivors. This concludes the narrative of Game of Thrones, an American fantasy drama television series created by David Benioff and D. B. Weiss for Home Box Office. Based on the book series A Song of Ice and Fire by George R. R. Martin, the series first aired on April 17, 2011, and ran for multiple seasons, concluding as part of a franchise centered around the mythical land of Westeros.

Throughout the run of the series, the overarching premise involved seven noble families fighting for control of Westeros. Friction between the houses led to full-scale war, while an ancient evil awakened in the farthest north. Amidst the conflict, a neglected military order of misfits known as the Night's Watch stood as the line of defense between the realms of men and icy horror.

As a television and film archive reference, the series is documented across databases such as IMDb and The Movie Database, where it is classified under genres including sci-fi and fantasy, drama, and action and adventure. The production history notes its development as the first adaptation of Martin's high fantasy novels, originating from the network home of HBO.
