Surprisingly, the re the Night's Watch.
Everyone else managed to make peace with everything that happened in Game of Thrones season 8, and they all went their separate ways. Unsullied went to Naath (the place the Missandei wanted to return to). But what about everyone else? Which characters actually survived the War of the Five Kings and the Battle of Winterfell, and lived to tell the tale?
Interestingly, the number is quite high from what viewers were expecting. Here's every character that survived the Game of Thrones series finale, which has been officially titled "The Iron Throne":
- Jon Snow
- Arya Stark
- Sansa Stark
- Bran Stark
- Samwell Tarly
- Tyrion Lannister
- Grey Worm
- Davos Seaworth
- Gendry Baratheon
- Brienne of Tarth
- Podrick Payne
- Tormund Giantsbane
- Bronn
Of course, there are plenty of other characters who survived the Game of Thrones series finale, but they perhaps didn't have big enough roles to warrant being somewhat main characters. Characters like Robin Arryn and Edmure Tully returned in the series finale for the first time in Game of Thrones season 8, along with previously seen characters like Ghost and Yara Greyjoy. People such as Gilly, Little Sam, Maester Wolkan, Yohn Royce, Meera Reed, Hot Pie, and more are all expected to still be alive as well, but Royce is the only person who reappeared in the finale.
Unfortunately, A Song of Ice and Fire will end differently, with more deaths, but that remains to be seen.
