"The Winds of Winter" is the tenth and final episode of the sixth season of HBO's fantasy television series Game of Thrones, and the sixtieth overall. It was written by series co-creators David Benioff and D. B. Weiss, and directed by Miguel Sapochnik.

In King's Landing, Cersei Lannister (Lena Headey) sets off wildfire beneath the Great Sept, killing its occupants, including the High Sparrow (Jonathan Pryce) and Queen Margaery Tyrell (Natalie Dormer), causing the suicide of King Tommen Baratheon (Dean-Charles Chapman). Cersei subsequently claims the Iron Throne. At the Twins, Arya Stark (Maisie Williams) kills Walder Frey (David Bradley). At Winterfell, Jon Snow (Kit Harington) is declared King in the North by the lords of the Northern houses, and beyond the Wall, Bran Stark (Isaac Hempstead-Wright) learns that Jon is the son of Lyanna Stark. In the Reach, Samwell Tarly (John Bradley) arrives at the Citadel, coinciding with their announcement that winter has come. In Essos, Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia Clarke) begins heading to Westeros alongside Tyrion Lannister (Peter Dinklage), her entire army, the Ironborn loyal to Yara Greyjoy, the Tyrells, the Martells, and her three dragons.
