See Where the Game of Thrones Cast Is Now Before Winter Comes

Kit Harington’s kids may never watch Game of Thrones, but if they want to see how their parents fell in love…

Strike that, terrible idea, not least considering the fate of their mom Rose Leslie’s Wildling character, Ygritte.

But the fact that Harington and Leslie have children together is one of many examples of how life-changing the experience of being on GOT was for the humongous cast of actors who passed through Westeros at any given time.

Though not always in the best of ways, especially for those who basically grew up on the set of the groundbreaking HBO series.

As Isaac Hempstead Wright, who played Bran Stark, put it in The Hollywood Reporter after the series’ polarizing 2019 finale, “Your teenage years are difficult enough without the added complication of being on the world’s biggest television show.”

And that’s coming from the young man whose character won the whole darn game!

“I don’t know that it could have got any bigger, so it was nice that it stopped,” Maisie Williams, who was 12 when she auditioned for the role of Arya Stark, told Wonderland in 2020. She explained, “You’re so stuck in the schedule of shooting and promoting that your whole life just ends up revolving around the show, and you don’t really get any time for yourself, so it’s been really nice to leave all of that behind.

However, Williams was “very pleased with the way that it ended for Arya,” appreciating that the Night King-vanquishing warrior chose adventure, valor and family duty over love.

Her BFF Sophie Turner, who played Arya’s big sister Sansa Stark, said she loved where her character ended up after having one of the more traumatic journeys on a show that piled on the trauma every week.

“It’s her resilience and her strength that I’m going to carry with me,” Turner reflected to THR in 2019. “I’ve never felt more empowered as a character than I have with Sansa. I think she’ll stay with me for the rest of my life.”

And yet, the Stark kids and the rest of the cast have since put more than five years between them and the end of the show after eight seasons and 59 Emmys.

It’s still 100 degrees outside, so it may not feel like it, but winter is coming. So if you’re still unpacking the House of the Dragon season finale and longing for the day you can put on your velvet robes and thick furry coat, pass a few minutes checking in with where the stars of Game of Thrones are now
