On Game of Thrones Season 5, Jon Snow (Kit Harington) is struggling to balance the demands of the Night’s Watch with those of the newly arrived Stannis Baratheon (Stephen Dillane), who styles himself the rightful king of Westeros.
Meanwhile, Cersei Lannister (Lena Headey) scrambles to hold on to power in King’s Landing amidst the Tyrells and the rise of a religious group led by the enigmatic High Sparrow, while Jaime Lannister (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) embarks on a secret mission.
Across the Narrow Sea, Arya Stark (Maisie Williams) seeks an old friend and a fugitive Tyrion Lannister (Peter Dinklage) finds a new cause. And as danger mounts in Meereen, Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia Clarke) finds that her tenuous hold on the city requires hard sacrifices.
