How many episodes make up Game of Thrones?

The story behind the answer

How many episodes make up Game of Thrones? The series has 73 episodes.

HBO’s Game of Thrones ran for eight seasons, beginning in 2011 and ending in 2019. Across that full television run, the series produced 73 episodes. The total includes the shorter final seasons: season 7 has seven episodes, while season 8 has six.

The first six seasons each contain 10 episodes, giving the show 60 episodes before its concluding run. Adding season 7’s seven and season 8’s six produces the familiar total of 73. This is why guesses such as 67 or 80 can seem plausible if someone remembers a planned episode count or confuses the show with another fantasy series.

Episode lengths also varied. Early installments were generally around an hour, while several later episodes became substantially longer, including feature-length-style finales and battle chapters. The show premiered with “Winter Is Coming” and concluded with “The Iron Throne,” completing its adaptation of George R. R. Martin’s fictional world while also adding substantial original television material.
