Game of Thrones Franchise Scores Highest IMDb Rating in 9 Years

A recent episode of the Game of Thrones animated series, “Seven” from A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms Season 1, has achieved a major milestone. It currently holds the highest IMDb rating for any episode within the Game of Thrones universe in nearly a decade.

The new episode, “Seven,” has received an impressive 9.7 out of 10 rating on IMDb, based on over 29,000 reviews. This is the highest score for an episode set in the world of Westeros since 2017, when the fourth episode of Game of Thrones Season 7, titled “Spoils of War,” first aired. That episode was particularly memorable for…

It’s no surprise that no episode has surpassed “Spoils of War” in ratings on IMDb. However, it’s interesting that A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms has achieved the same high score, something the previous Game of Thrones spin-off, House of the Dragon, didn’t manage. The highest-rated House of the Dragon episode (Season 2, Episode 4) received a 9.4.

“A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms” delivers a powerful episode without relying on dragons. Instead, it reveals who Egg really is, features a moving speech from Duncan the Tall, and ends with a memorable return of the iconic Game of Thrones theme. It’s no surprise viewers were excited and talking about the episode after it finished.

A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms Scores a Big Win on IMDb

This is great news for A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms as well. While some viewers initially didn’t connect with it, the show’s realistic story and lovable characters seem to have changed a few minds.

Although the 9.7 rating for this episode and “Spoils of War” is very good, it’s not the highest score Game of Thrones has ever received. Three episodes – Season 3’s “The Rains of Castamere,” and Season 6’s “Battle of the Bastards” and “The Winds of Winter” – all earned a perfect 9.9 on IMDb. Season 5’s “Hardhome” scored a 9.8, and several other episodes from earlier seasons also received a 9.7.

The show A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms will be back on Sundays for the last two episodes of its first season on HBO.
