It's probably been a few years since you heard someone mention "Game of Thrones."

The HBO smash success, based on the book series "A Song of Ice and Fire" by George R.R. Martin, was a pop-culture juggernaut when it aired from 2011-2019.

But, after a controversial finale, the hype surrounding the show has cooled, even though HBO just dropped the trailer for the prequel series “House of The Dragon” last week.

With no previous cast members returning for the prequel series, most actors have all moved on to other projects. Here's a look at what the Westeros characters have been up to.

Kit Harrington / Jon Snow

Even though Kit Harrington said he was done taking demanding roles, he is going to be starring in the star-studded cast of Marvel's "Eternals," set to hit theaters November 5, 2021.

Fans might remember that he started dating co-star Rose Leslie, who played Ygritte, Jon Snow’s love interest.

Although their star-crossed character's love story met a bitter end, the real-life actor's romance is a far happier tale. The couple married in 2018 and recently welcomed a baby boy in February 2021.

Peter Dinklage / Tyrion Lannister

After making many quips about his short stature during his time as the youngest Lannister sibling, Peter Dinklage will go on to play the titular character in "The Dwarf."

The medieval period piece tells the story of a Machiavellian Dwarf who manipulates the prince he serves and brings the kingdom to the brink of ruin.
