Several top-rated, critically acclaimed shows of the 2022-23 television season feature faces familiar to Game of Thrones fans.

HBO's post-apocalyptic thriller, The Last of Us, which was recently renewed for a second season, stars two Game of Thrones veterans -- Pedro Pascal (Oberyn Martell) and Bella Ramsey (Lyanna Mormont.)

The contemporary video-game adaption casts the actors as survivors of a post-apocalyptic hellscape, where fungi-infected zombies feast on human flesh.

The cable network said the show's premiere attracted 4.7 million viewers and was its second-largest debut, behind only 2022's Game of Thrones prequel House of the Dragon, which was seen by 10 million people on its first night.

New episodes air Sunday nights.

Here is where fans can see the actors who played other memorable Game of Thrones characters:

'The Mayor of Kingstown' - - Paramount+

Aidan Gillen, who played Littlefinger on Game of Thrones, plays another master manipulator on The Mayor of Kingstown, which was created by Taylor Sheridan.

Gillen's escaped prison inmate character Milo frequently locks horns with the show's titular fixer, Mike (Jeremy Renner,) who tries to keep the peace between criminals and law enforcement in a Michigan town, where most people have some personal or professional connection to the prison system.

'Snowpiercer' - - TNT, tba

Sean Bean, the Stark family patriarch iconically executed in Season 1 of Game of Thrones, has since been starring in the TNT sci-fi drama, Snowpiercer. The show is based on Bong Joon-ho's 2013 movie of the same name.

In the TV version, Bean plays the villainous Mr. Wilford who has been trying to wrest control from Layton (Daveed Diggs) and Melanie (Jennifer Connelly) of a train that continuously circles a frozen world after a post-apocalyptic weather event.

The fourth and final season of Snowpiercer is looking for a new home after TNT canceled it because the network is no longer airing new episodes of scripted shows. It was scheduled to air this year.
