Game of Throne‘s made a spectacular return to our screens for the hit show’s eighth and final season.
The lady of Winterfell Sophie Turner reunited with Jon Snow, Bran, and Arya Stark to save the living from the white walkers and protect the iron throne. 17.4 million fans around the world tuned in at 11 am local time on April 15 to watch episode one, making GoT the biggest television show in history.
