"Game of Thrones" is a very exciting major new series for the american TV giants HBO and is produced by the masterminds behind HBO hits "The Sopranos", "Sex and the City" and "Rome" and the films "Troy" and "The Kite Runner".
Based on George R R Martin's best-selling fantasy series "A Song of Ice and Fire", "Game of Thrones" is a dark and complex tale of warring dynasties, epic in scale, with a haunting supernatural element. It is set in a fictitious world reminiscent of Medieval Europe in which magic exists and the seasons can last for many years. The series follows the violent dynastic struggles of an empire in turmoil where political and sexual intrigue are abound. It defies genre and has a large topend cast that includes: Sean Bean, Peter Dinklage, Mark Addy, Lena Headey, and Nikolaj Coster-Waldau.
