What have Sophie Turner, Emilia Clarke and the rest of the Game of Thrones cast done since starring in HBO’s highest-rated show?
They made their names playing GoT’s era-defining characters Daenerys, Jon Snow, Tyrion, Cersei, Jaime, Sansa and Arya – but what are Maisie Williams, Kit Harington, Peter Dinklage and co. up to now?
Love it or hate it, Game of Thrones was a cultural phenomenon that gave HBO its highest-rated show and spawned endless internet theories. With 73 episodes spanning eight seasons, the show based on George R.R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire went on to win 59 Emmy Awards, was nominated for five Golden Globes and its series finale was viewed by 19.3 million people on May 19, 2019.
Fans might wonder what the cast members are up to now – so here are the answers.
Emilia Clarke
After playing the polarised, messiah-complex Daenerys Targaryen, the 33-year-old actress went on to star in winter 2019’s feel-good film Last Christmas (which banked US$121 million), and will soon be seen onstage in an upcoming production of Chekhov’s The Seagull, at London’s Playhouse Theatre, her first West End production. Clarke has also appeared in Dolce & Gabbana fragrance campaigns over the years.
