This April the worldwide fantasy phenomenon brought to life on the small screen by David Benioff and D.B. Weiss and based on the best-selling novels of George R.R. Martin will come to an epic end, and we'll finally know who will sit on that imposing throne of Westeros.
Will there be a Targaryen, Stark, Lannister, Baratheon, Greyjoy, or even a White Walker upon the throne of the Seven Kingdoms when the dust, blood and ashes settle.
Can the great Houses unite to face the threat of the undead army from beyond the Wall, or will these mortal enemies stab each other in the back at the slightest opportunity, and do the Night King's work for him?
Can love prevail or will family secrets threaten the likes of 'Jon Snow' and the Mother of Dragons, 'Daenerys Targaryen'?
Will the visions of the Three-Eyed Crow and the Red Priestess 'Melisandre' come to pass when fire and ice clash?
Will 'Arya Stark' be able to tick off all the people on her kill list and avenge her parents, brothers and all those who have sacrificed themselves?
With only six big budget, multi-million dollar episodes to wrap up all the loose plot threads, will the scheming 'Cersei Lannister' prevail or will she and 'Jaime Lannister' lose more than just a hand and their children from incest.
And will the rich and well-storied characters like 'Tyrion', 'Sansa', 'Samwell', 'Davos', 'Ser Jorah Mormont', 'Varys', 'The Hound', 'Brienne', 'Theon', 'Yara', 'Gendry', 'Grey Worm', 'Missandai' and more all get their moment to shine, or die, before the climactic end.
These ad creatives with all the GOT characters and their foreshadowing claim to the Iron Throne of Westeros reverentially echo the first season Game of Thrones billboards with Sean Bean as 'Ned Stark' that started all those money years ago.
This mixture of standard landscape, giant-sized and special extension cut-outs were photographed along La Brea Avenue, Sunset Boulevard, Pico Boulevard, San Vicente Boulevard, Melrose Avenue, La Cienega Boulevard and Fairfax Avenue from March 12 to March 18, 2019.
Meanwhile the follow-up dragon throne billboards were captured along Fountain Avenue and the Sunset Strip on March 29, 2019.
Fans of the show can also savour a variety of iconic moments from Game of Thrones previous seven seasons with these For the Throne billboards.

What will viewers do without jaw-dropping moments like the bloody carnage of the 'Red Wedding', Dany burning the slave masters of Astapor, Cersei's 'Walk of Shame' and her subsequent blowing up of her enemies in King's Landing, 'Hodor's' sacrifices andthe beheading of Ned Stark in the first season, which set the tone for the entire series, that anything could and did happen.
The good news for fans is that new prequel series are being developed to sate your fantasy appetites to learn the rich history of Westeros, a land of dragons and dire wolves.
One thing is obvious, we all know nothing when it comes to how Game of Thrones will end, and long may epic storytelling like this reign on television.
