According to new research from BetMGM Casino, HBO's Emmy-winning series was the most-discussed television show across U.S. podcasts in 2026, outperforming both current streaming hits and even its own hit prequel, House of the Dragon.
The result is especially notable because the series concluded more than seven years ago. Yet it continues to generate more discussion than current favorites including:
Stranger Things (6,192 mentions)From (4,456)The Simpsons (3,973)Love Island USA (3,579)The Bear (3,170)Breaking Bad (3,144)Despite becoming one of HBO's biggest recent successes and expanding George R.R. Martin'sfantasy universe, the prequel ranked just No. 22, appearing in 1,073 podcast episodes (less than one-sixth of Game of Thrones' total).
The research also highlights the staying power of older television classics.
While new shows regularly dominate weekly streaming charts, Game of Thrones appears to occupy a different category altogether. Whether fans are revisiting controversial storylines, debating the series finale, ranking unforgettable character deaths or speculating about future Westeros projects, the show remains firmly embedded in pop culture.
