The audience for Game of Thrones has been growing each season. Not that there was any danger of it being cancelled but HBO has already renewed it for seasons five and six. Will the fourth season be the HBO series’ best? We shall see.

Based on the best-selling fantasy book series by George R.R. Martin, Thrones is an epic story of treachery and nobility set on the continent of Westeros — a place where summers and winters can last for years and the lust for power is eternal.

The large cast includes Aidan Gillen, Alfie Allen, Carice van Houten, Charles Dance, Conleth Hill, Emilia Clarke, Iain Glen, Isaac Hempstead-Wright, Jack Gleeson, Jerome Flynn, Joe Dempsie, John Bradley, Kit Harington, Lena Headey, Liam Cunningham, Maisie Williams, Natalie Dormer, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, Peter Dinklage, Rory McCann, Rose Leslie, Sibel Kekilli, Sophie Turner, and Stephen Dillane.

The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s chances of staying on the air but this one’s already been renewed. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available.

Final season averages: 3.7 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 6.84 million total viewers.
