Pada musim-musim awal, di bawah pengaruh buku-buku ''A Song of Ice and Fire'', para karakter utama secara rutin terbunuh, dan ini menyebabkan meningkatnya ketegangan di kalangan penonton.<ref name="ign 7.7">{{cite web |url=http://www.ign.com/articles/2017/08/28/game-of-thrones-the-dragon-and-the-wolf-review |title=''Game of Thrones'': 'The Dragon and the Wolf' Review |website=IGN |accessdate=August 28, 2017 |date=August 27, 2017 |last = Fowler |first = Matt }}</ref> Pada musim berikutnya, para kritikus menuding bahwa karakter-karakter tertentu telah memiliki "baju zirah" untuk bertahan dalam keadaan yang tidak terduga, dan menyatakan bahwa ''Game of Thrones'' telah menyimpang dari novel menjadi serial televisi yang lebih tradisonal.<ref name="ign 7.7"/> Serial ini juga menggambarkan tingkat kematian yang substansial dalam peperangan.<ref>{{cite news|last=Kirschling |first=Gregory |url=http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,20161804,00.html |title=George R.R.

Meskipun musim pertama secara gamblang mengikuti rangkaian peristiwa dalam novel pertama, musim selanjutnya telah memiliki perubahan yang signifikan dari cerita novel. Menurut [[David Benioff]], serial ini mengenai "pengadaptasian seri novel secara keseluruhan dan mengikuti peta yang ditata George untuk kita dan mencapai tonggak cerita utama, tetapi masing-masing alur tidak perlu berhenti di sepanjang jalan."<ref>{{cite news|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20160430065802/http://www.ew.com/article/2015/03/17/game-thrones-showrunners |archivedate=April 30, 2016 |url=http://www.ew.com/article/2015/03/17/game-thrones-showrunners |title=Game of Thrones showrunners answer burning season 5 questions |work=[[Entertainment Weekly]] |first=James |last=Hibberd |date=March 17, 2015 |accessdate=March 18, 2015 |deadurl=no}}</ref>

Pada Januari 2006, David Benioff melakukan percakapan telepon dengan agen sastra George R. R. Martin mengenai buku-buku yang ditulisnya dan menunjukkan ketertarikan pada ''[[A Song of Ice and Fire]]'', karena ia adalah penggemar fiksi fantasi saat masih remaja tetapi belum membaca buku-bukunya. Agen sastra Martin kemudian mengirimkan Benioff empat buku pertama dalam seri.<ref>{{cite book |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=gzYfBQAAQBAJ&pg=PT15&lpg=PT15#v=onepage |title=Inside HBO's Game of Thrones |first=Bryan |last=Cogman |publisher=Gollancz |date=November 6, 2014 |deadurl=no |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20161219212618/https://books.google.com/books?id=gzYfBQAAQBAJ&pg=PT15&lpg=PT15#v=onepage |archivedate=December 19, 2016 |isbn=9781473210400}}</ref> Benioff membaca beberapa ratus halaman novel pertama, ''A Game of Thrones'', menyatakan antusiasmenya pada D.

Meskipun banyak pemeran yang kembali bermain setelah musim pertama, produser memiliki banyak karakter baru untuk tiap musim berikutnya. Karena banyaknya karakter baru, Benioff dan Weiss menunda pengenalan beberapa karakter utama di [[Game of Thrones (musim 2)|musim kedua]] dan menggabungkan beberapa karakter menjadi satu atau mengarahkan fungsi plot ke karakter yang berbeda.<ref name="hibberd1"/> Beberapa karakter berulang muncul kembali setelah bertahun-tahun; misalnya, [[Gregor Clegane]] dimainkan oleh tiga aktor berbeda, sementara [[Dean-Charles Chapman]], yang memerankan [[Tommen Baratheon]], juga memerankan karakter Lannister minor.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.thisisinsider.com/game-of-thrones-actors-roles-recast-2017-6 |title=These 8 'Game of Thrones' characters were recast — and you probably didn't even notice |first= Kim |last=Renfro |date= June 21, 2017|work= Insider |accessdate=March 26, 2018}}</ref>

 

 

''Game of Thrones'' mempekerjakan tujuh penulis skrip dalam enam musim. Pencipta serial, [[David Benioff]] dan [[D. B. Weiss]], menulis sebagian besar episode pada tiap musim.<ref name="observer">{{cite web |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20160903222758/http://observer.com/2015/04/blood-caffeine-sex-magic-how-game-of-thrones-gets-written/ |archivedate=September 3, 2016 |url=http://observer.com/2015/04/blood-caffeine-sex-magic-how-game-of-thrones-gets-written/ |title=Blood Caffeine Sex Magic: How 'Game of Thrones' Gets Written |work=[[The New York Observer]] |first=Sean T. |last=Collins |date=April 2, 2015 |accessdate=April 15, 2015 |deadurl=no}}</ref>

Ikhtisar skrip yang terperinci ditulis, dengan masing-masing penulis mendapatkan jatah penulisan skrip untuk setiap episode. Cogman, yang menulis dua episode untuk musim kelima, membutuhkan waktu satu setengah bulan untuk menyelesaikan semua skrip. Skrip yang telah selesai kemudian dibaca oleh Benioff dan Weiss, yang membubuhkan catatan mengomentari, dan skrip yang dibubuhi catatan akan ditulis ulang. Sepuluh episode harus selesai ditulis sebelum pembuatan film dimulai karena pengambilan gambar dilakukan oleh dua [[kru film|unit kru]] di negara berbeda.<ref name="observer"/> Benioff dan Weiss menulis skrip episode mereka bersama-sama, salah satunya menulis bagian pertama skrip dan yang lainnya menulis bagian kedua. Setelah itu mereka membaca ulang skrip dan membuat catatan lalu menulis ulang bagian yang diberi catatan.<ref name="long_story_short"/>

''Game of Thrones'' ditayangkan oleh [[HBO]] di Amerika Serikat dan oleh anak perusahaan lokal atau layanan [[televisi berbayar]] lainnya di berbagai negara, dengan jam tayang yang sama seperti di AS atau jeda berminggu-minggu (atau berbulan-bulan) kemudian. Di Tiongkok, serial ini ditayangkan oleh [[China Central Television|CCTV]], dimulai pada 2014. Di negara tersebut, tayangan terlebih dahulu disunting untuk menghapus adegan seks dan kekerasan, sesuai dengan praktik pemerintah Tiongkok untuk menyensor serial televisi Barat dalam rangka mencegah "dampak negatif dan bahaya keamanan tersembunyi." Hal ini menimbulkan keluhan di kalangan penonton terkait adanya inkoherensi dari adegan yang ditayangkan.<ref>{{cite news |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20160821120407/http://www.scmp.com/news/china-insider/article/1500897/game-thrones-premieres-cctv-viewers-call-it-edited-mess |archivedate=August 21, 2016 |last=Blum |first=Jeremy |title=Game of Thrones premieres on CCTV, viewers call it an edited 'mess' |url=http://www.scmp.com/news/china-insider/article/1500897/game-thrones-premieres-cctv-viewers-call-it-edited-mess |accessdate=May 4, 2014 |newspaper=[[South China Morning Post]] |date=April 30, 2014 |deadurl=no}}</ref> Kanal dan jaringan TV yang menayangkan '' Game of Thrones'' di antaranya [[Showcase (saluran TV Australia)|Showcase]] di Australia; [[HBO Canada]], [[Super Écran]], dan [[Showcase (saluran TV Kanada)|Showcase]] di Kanada; [[HBO Latin America]] di [[Amerika Latin]]; [[Soho (Selandia Baru)|SoHo]] dan [[Prime (Selandia Baru)|Prime]] di Selandia Baru, dan [[Sky Atlantic]] di Britania Raya dan Irlandia.<ref>{{cite web |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20110805221338/http://winter-is-coming.net/features/international-airings/ |archivedate=August 5, 2011 |url=http://www.winter-is-coming.net/features/international-airings |title=International Game of Thrones airings |publisher=WinterIsComing.net |date=August 2, 2011 |accessdate=October 2, 2011}}</ref>

Menjelang penayangan perdana [[Game of Thrones (musim 2)|musim kedua]], menurut [[CNN]], "setelah akhir pekan ini, Anda mungkin akan sulit menemukan seseorang yang bukan penggemar [[fantasi epik]]", dan mengutip pernyataan [[Ian Bogost]], yang menyatakan bahwa serial ini melanjutkan tren adaptasi layar yang sukses sejak trilogi film [[The Lord of the Rings (seri film)|''The Lord of the Rings'']] dan [[Harry Potter (seri film)|seri film ''Harry Potter'']] berhasil membangun fantasi sebagai genre pasar massal; film-film tersebut adalah "obat kecanduan bagi budaya penggemar fantasi".<ref>{{cite news |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20160927162257/http://geekout.blogs.cnn.com/2012/03/30/mainstream-finally-believes-fantasy-fans/ |archivedate=September 27, 2016 |last=Williams |first=Joel |title=Mainstream finally believes fantasy fans |url=http://geekout.blogs.cnn.com/2012/03/30/mainstream-finally-believes-fantasy-fans/ |accessdate=April 5, 2012 |publisher=[[CNN]] |date=March 30, 2012 |deadurl=no}}</ref> Keberhasilan serial ini menyebabkan sejumlah seri fantasi diadaptasi kembali ke layar kaca, termasuk penceritaan ulang ''Lord of the Rings'' oleh [[Amazon Studios]].<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.vulture.com/2019/03/lord-of-the-rings-amazon-maps.html |title=Amazon's Lord of the Rings Series: What Is the Second Age? |work=Vulture |date=March 11, 2019 |accessdate=April 10, 2019}}</ref> Menurut [[Neil Gaiman]], yang karyanya ''[[Good Omens (serial TV)|Good Omens]]'' dan ''[[American Gods (serial TV)|American Gods]]'' diadaptasi menjadi serial TV, ''Game of Thrones'' memang membantu mengubah sikap terhadap eksistensi genre fantasi di televisi, tetapi yang terpenting serial ini menyebabkan anggaran besar untuk seri fantasi lebih dapat diterima.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2019/apr/01/whats-the-next-game-of-thrones-all-the-contenders-for-fantasy-tvs-crown |title=What's the next Game of Thrones?
