The idea of a show being ‘like Game of Thrones’ implies a few things; likely a period drama featuring nudity, brutality and - above anything else - death.
Throughout its run, HBO’s flagship show has shown little remorse in killing off main characters at various points throughout its run; starting in season one with the shock death of Ned Stark and culminating in the recent deaths of Hodor, Ramsay Bolton and The Waif.
Notably, the finale for season six featured numerous deaths of major characters the High Sparrow, Margaery Tyrell and Tommen Baratheon, all within the first 20 minutes, thanks to Wildfire/suicide.
So, who else died in season six? Let’s have a quick look back and see how these various characters met their makers (whichever God that may be).
In memoriam: Every major character who died in Game of Thrones season 6
Show all 34
There you have it, way over 30 dead major characters, and that’s not including Faith Militant Brother #4 or Battle of the Bastards extra #487. Meanwhile, anticipation for season seven is already growing, with the showrunners recently discussing Cersei’s role as the future Queen.
