Game Of Thrones Stars Had A Mini-Reunion For Studio Tour Opening
Game of Thrones stars Nathalie Emmanuel, Isaac Hempstead Wright, and Kristian Nairn had a mini-reunion for the opening of the show's new Studio Tour in Northern Ireland. Based on George R.R. Martin's novels, Game of Thrones ran for eight seasons from 2011 to 2019. The fantasy series revolved around the fictional Seven Kingdoms of Westeros where several powerful families, or Houses, fought for the Iron Throne. With its complex characters, compelling story, and impressive production, the series was a huge hit and attracted a record-breaking viewership for HBO.
Emmanuel, Wright, and Nairn became household names for playing key roles in Game of Thrones. Wright was one of the child actors who were part of the cast since season 1. He played Bran, Ned Stark's fourth son who was injured in the first season and later became the Three-Eyed Raven. Hodor, Nairn's character, was a simple-minded but loyal servant to the Starks and served as Bran's companion when he escaped Winterfell. Meanwhile, Emmanuel joined Game of Thrones in its third season, playing Daenerys Targaryen's (Emilia Clarke) trusted friend and advisor.
Emmanuel, Wright, and Nairn reunited last Friday, February 4, for the opening of the GoT Studio Tour at Linen Mill Studios in Banbridge, Northern Ireland. The trio were all smiles as they helped "break the chains" to mark the attraction's first day. Emmanuel, who also served as the tour's narrator, shared some photos of their fun reunion on Instagram and called the day "a trip down memory lane." Meanwhile, Nairn and Wright found time to goof around with the latter hopping on Hodor's back just like old times.

The Game of Thrones Studio Tour is housed at Linen Mill Studios, one of the original studios in Northern Ireland where the series was filmed. The new attraction allows visitors to see details of the show's award-winning set pieces, props, and costumes up close. It is described to be an immersive experience that will delight Game of Thrones fans who have fallen in love with the show and its lore.
It's only been three short years since Game of Thrones wrapped up but it's definitely left a hole in television. Part of its appeal was the rapport between its stars who made their fans feel like the show was a real family. A spin-off prequel, House of the Dragon, is set to premiere within the year. The upcoming series is based on Marin's 2018 novel Fire & Blood and will explore the Targaryen civil war that happened centuries before the events of the original series. While HBO promises to continue the Game of Thrones legacy, spin-offs of successful shows are notorious to be hit-or-miss. If its new cast members can have the same on-screen magic just like the Game of Thrones actors, House of the Dragon could just have a shot to live up to the glory of its predecessor.
