Rather than
'One ring to rule them all', HBO's Game of Thrones television adaptation has always been about one spiky
'Iron Throne' to rule them all.
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.
And you can also take a look at all the season promo and awards consideration
billboards for Game of Thrones filling
L.A.'s sprawling skies from spring 2011 to date.
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.
UPDATED: Here are also more examples of the follow-up dragon throne ad creatives spotted along Fairfax Avenue and La Brea Avenue on April 10, 2019.
Daily Billboard will miss seeing these clever season promo billboards appear in the skies of L.A. in the future, so best enjoy them whilst we can.
UPDATED: After a beautifully produced season which met with mixed fan reception, it'll be interesting to see how Game of Thrones fares at the Emmys this season. Maybe this HBO Emmy FYC billboard will help, snapped along Santa Monica Boulevard on May 28, 2019.
Plus here's a different size and shape consideration billboard spied along L.A.'s 3rd Street on June 6, 2019.
