HBO's fantasy series Game of Thrones gets a behind-the-scenes look built around interviews with the cast and crew who make it. The special walks through the sprawling setup from George R.R. Martin's novels: the rival families, the kingdoms of Westeros, the Iron Throne everyone is scheming to sit on, and the Wall guarding the realm from whatever lies beyond it. Actors and producers talk through how they built season one's world and characters, from the intrigue in King's Landing to the harsher, colder territory up north, with production details on costumes, sets, and casting mixed into the discussion. The special then turns to season two, previewing new characters and storylines before they aired. There's no outside critical perspective here, just the people who made the show explaining their own choices, aimed at fans wanting the production story behind the plot they already know.
