Where You Can Watch These Game of Thrones Stars Now That the Series Has Ended
It was a long eight years, Game of Thrones fans, but our watch has finally ended. The final episode of HBO's groundbreaking series aired on May 19, and we had to say goodbye to our favorite Westerosi. Even though fans were not shy about how they felt about the series finale, we're all going to miss watching the performances of the show's amazing cast. Over the years, the Thrones cast have gone from mostly unknowns to bona-fide Hollywood stars; many have already taken on high-profile roles in other big franchises, too.
While their Westerosi characters will be gone from our screens, many of the cast members won't be! The show's biggest stars already have their next projects lined up, and we've rounded up some of the upcoming titles where you can watch your favorites now that the curtain has fallen on Game of Thrones. (At least until the prequel series comes around!)

Kit Harington
Harington is going from one megafranchise to the next! The 32-year-old actor will be venturing from the North right into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, joining the star-studded cast of Marvel's upcoming film The Eternals. Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige confirmed at the 2019 D23 convention that Harington will be portraying Dane Whitman, aka the Black Knight, and reuniting with former Game of Thrones costar Richard Madden, who played Jon's cousin, Robb Stark.

Gwendoline Christie
Christie is one of those rare actors who's starred in two massive pop culture universes simultaneously: her role on GOT as Brienne of Tarth has overlapped with her Star Wars turn as the villainous Captain Phasma. Christie is currently reprising her role as Phasma in Star Wars Resistance, an animated series set in the years before The Force Awakens, which has been renewed for a second season.
