The first season of the fantasy drama television series Game of Thrones premiered on HBO
on April 17, 2011 in the U.S. and concluded on June 19, 2011. It
consists of ten episodes, each of approximately 55 minutes. The series
is based on A Game of Thrones, the first novel in the A Song of Ice and Fire series by George R. R. Martin, adapted for television by David Benioff and D. B. Weiss. HBO had ordered a television pilot
in November 2008; filming began the following year. However, it was
deemed unsatisfactory and later reshot with some roles recast. In March
2010, HBO ordered the first season, which began filming in July 2010,
primarily in Belfast, Northern Ireland, with additional filming in Malta.
The story takes place in a fantasy world, primarily upon the continent Westeros, with one storyline occurring on another continent to the east, Essos. Like the novel, the season initially focuses on the family of nobleman Eddard "Ned" Stark, the Warden of the North, who is asked to become the King's Hand (chief advisor) to his longtime friend, King Robert Baratheon. Ned seeks to find out who murdered his predecessor, Jon Arryn.
He uncovers dark secrets about the powerful Lannister family, which
includes Robert's queen, Cersei, that his predecessor died trying to
expose. This leads, after Robert's death, to Ned's arrest for treason.
Ned's eldest son, Robb, begins a rebellion against the Lannisters. Ned
is killed at the order of Cersei's tyrannical teenage son, King Joffrey Baratheon.
Meanwhile, in Essos, the exiled Viserys Targaryen, son of the former
king, forces his sister Daenerys to marry a Dothraki warlord in exchange
for an army to pursue his claim to the Iron Throne. The season ends
with Viserys dead and Daenerys becoming the Mother of Dragons.
Game of Thrones features a large ensemble cast, including established actors such as Sean Bean, Mark Addy, Peter Dinklage, Lena Headey, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, Michelle Fairley, and Iain Glen. Newer actors were cast as the younger generation of characters, such as Emilia Clarke, Kit Harington, Sophie Turner, and Maisie Williams.
Critics praised the show's production values and cast; Dinklage's portrayal of Tyrion Lannister received specific accolades, as did Bean and Clarke, as well as Ramin Djawadi for music.
The first season won two of the thirteen Emmy Awards
for which it was nominated: Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama
Series (Dinklage) and Outstanding Main Title Design. It was also
nominated for Outstanding Drama Series. U.S. viewership rose by
approximately 33% over the course of the season, from 2.2 million to
over 3 million by the finale.
