Game of Thrones Universe: All 3 TV Shows Ranked
From the original battle for the Iron Throne to the Targaryen civil war and the adventures of Dunk and Egg, these three Westeros television series explore different eras of George R. R. Martin’s fantasy world. This editorial order is provisional; Louilink review ratings have not been assigned.
1. Game of Thrones (2011)
The original series transformed George R. R. Martin's world into a sweeping television epic of political intrigue, unforgettable characters and high-stakes battles. Its divisive final seasons do not erase the ambition, performances and cultural impact of its strongest years.
2. House of the Dragon (2022)
Set long before the original series, House of the Dragon charts the Targaryen succession crisis and the devastating Dance of the Dragons. Intricate family rivalries, commanding performances and spectacular dragon sequences make it a compelling prequel.
3. A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms (2026)
Following Ser Duncan the Tall and his young squire Egg, this prequel explores Westeros from a more personal perspective. Its emphasis on friendship, honor and the lives of ordinary people gives the franchise a smaller-scale alternative to dynastic warfare.
