Game of Thrones is available in over 150 countries worldwide. However, HBO said earlier viewing data is not easily retrieved in many of those markets, making a global figure impossible to calculate.
The Game of Thrones, based on "A Song of Ice and Fire" series of fantasy novels by George Martin, focuses on the deep political crisis on the conflict-mired Westeros continent, which erupted after the fall of the Targaryen dynasty that previously ruled there for centuries.
