People just can’t seem to get enough of Game of Thrones parody shows. Anime illustrations, popular TV show intros and now, a re-imagination of the series as a high school teen show. The show has popular YouTube actors such as Mary Kate Wiles from ‘The Lizzie Bennet Diaries,’ Ashly Burch from ‘Hey Ash, Whatcha Playin’?’ and several other actors.
The first episode takes place at the eve of prom, where all the family houses are preparing to take rule. Each Westeros family member was adapted into their exaggerated real-life counterparts. The Starks are portrayed as old school preppies, the Greyjoys as the high school swim team, the Lannisters as the popular kids and Daenerys Targaryen as a transfer student who really loves dragons.
With the HBO series still a few weeks away, this funny parody will surely feed the ongoing need for the actual series.
