The 'Game of Thrones' Social Network by Lia Petronio et al., Northeastern University

In the HBO megahit Game of Thrones, characters, houses, and allegiances continue to change as new kings and queens gain power, opposing sides do battle, and characters meet one another across the show’s vast geographical map. Here, explore the connections characters share with each other in this interactive network.

Characters are represented as circles, sized to the amount of time on screen they receive and colored by house or allegiance. The intensity of the links between characters is scaled to the amount of time they are shown together. Characters form clusters based on the strength of their connections. See how character relationships evolve throughout the series, refining your search by season and character.
