Is Game of Thrones on Netflix?

Game of Thrones is a worldwide phenomenon set to end starting in April, but can new viewers catch up on the first seven seasons watching on Netflix?

Whether you’ve seen the first 67 episodes of Game of Thrones or not, if you have a pulse, you’re likely aware that the hit HBO television drama is set to conclude with season 8, beginning with the season premiere on April 14. The final six episodes of the show are going to be a worldwide cultural event that everyone is going to want to be a part of.

For fans that have been watching already for several seasons, chances are that they are already caught up with the first seven seasons of the show. However, there are also certainly people who have yet to start the show, but want to get in on Game of Thrones season 8 to experience the conclusion of the show with everyone else. Moreover, fans that have already been watching may want to re-watch as a refresher.

Thus, that leaves people looking for ways that they can watch Game of Thrones. In the age of cord-cutting, the most popular streaming site is undoubtedly Netflix. Thus, it makes sense that some would be wondering if they can watch the HBO hit on Netflix. Unfortunately, no matter the country you’re in, that’s not possible.

Netflix does not have the rights to Game of Thrones, meaning that you cannot stream it through the service. Having said that, there are ways for people to either re-watch or catch up with the first seven seasons outside of using Netflix.

The most obvious ways are through HBO Now and HBO Go. For the former, it’s a standalone streaming service that costs $14.99 per month that anyone can purchase a subscription to. The latter allows cable subscribers that have HBO as a part of their package to log in with their cable credentials and stream any HBO show.

Furthermore, Amazon Prime customers can add HBO to their channels on Prime Video, allowing them to catch up with Thrones. Hulu subscribers can also add an HBO subscription through that service to watch the first 67 episodes as well.

So, while Game of Thrones is not available on Netflix, there are plenty of alternative options for anyone to binge the show on before the April 14 premiere of season 8. And, as any fan of the show will tell you, you’re going to want to be a part of this.
