* ''Series/GameOfThrones'':
** Season 1: Cersei Lannister. Although there's a plethora of villains, in Season 1 Cersei serves most clearly as the main antagonist. She's a threat to the Starks, the Crown and the Realm in general due to her scheming. She [[BigBadDuumvirate shares]] the role of TheAntagonist with her brother Jaime, but she is the Big Bad of the two, being more of the schemer while he is more TheBrute. She subsequently becomes a BigBadWannabe, with the more competent and intelligent Tywin falling into place.
** Season 2: Joffrey Baratheon, as well as Stannis and Melisandre, who become enemies of both the Starks, the Lannisters and the Tyrells alike, even if Stannis doesn't fight the Starks. His pending invasion of King's Landing is the major plotline for King's Landing in Season 2, as Tyrion attempts to halt him to save the city. However, this depends on how far you see Stannis as a villain, considering he is fighting against those clearly more villainous then him - the Lannisters, who are supporting Joffrey and spend the season fighting the Starks. Likewise the Tyrells show they don't care who's King just so long as they can get more power. Melisandre is arguably the true Big Bad, as she clearly manipulates Stannis into using her methods. Balon Greyjoy could also be considered this to a lesser extent, as he is a driving force in the North storyline. Xaro Xhoan Daxos and Pyat Pree are the Big Bads for the Qarth storyline.
** Season 3: Tywin Lannister, who in addition to being the one controlling and fighting the war on Joffrey's behalf, becomes the de-facto leader of Westeros as Joffrey's hand. He is responsible for the worst atrocities of the war, such as sending Gregor Clegane to make the Riverlands a blasted wasteland and turning Harrenhal into a nightmare garrison and then the Red Wedding. That said, Tywin only did this because Catelyn kidnapped Tyrion and as the story unravels it's revealed that Tywin was not the primary cause of the whole conflict.
** Season 4: Tywin Lannister, officially with [[spoiler:Joffrey's death]]. There is also Roose Bolton and his son Ramsay of the North storylines. Mance Rayder becomes this for the Night's Watch storyline. Littlefinger is this for the Vale storyline, [[spoiler:and is arguably the true antagonist of the season because he poisoned Joffrey and let Tyrion take the fall.]]
** Season 5: Cersei takes the reins following [[spoiler:Tywin's death]] but [[BigBadWannabe she's still in over her head]] and this role is taken by the High Sparrow. The Boltons, Lord Roose Bolton and his son Ramsay, function as the main antagonists for the north, but later into the season [[spoiler:The Night's King]] stops being a hinted [[GreaterScopeVillain background threat to the realms]] and leads [[spoiler:the White Walkers]] to make their move toward conquering Westeros. The Sons of the Harpy for the Mereen storyline as they seek to undermine Daenerys' rule and kill her supporters.
** Season 6: Ramsay Bolton becomes this for the North storyline after [[spoiler:he kills his father]], and he personally acts as the main antagonist of Jon and Sansa's storyline. The High Sparrow is this for the King's Landing storyline [[spoiler: until Cersei reclaims her Big Bad position with a vengeance by killing the High Sparrow and the Tyrells and taking the crown for herself]]. Jaqen H'ghar is nominally this for the Braavos storyline, but the Waif is the DragonInChief. The Sons of Harpy in the Mereen storyline [[spoiler:are being funded by a coalition of Slave Masters, represented by Razdal mo Eraz, Yezzan zo Qaggaz, and Belicho Paenymion, who personally lead a siege of Mereen at the end of the season.]]
** Season 7: Cersei Lannister returns to take the Big Bad spot [[spoiler:as Queen of the Seven Kingdoms, forming a BigBadDuumvirate with Euron Greyjoy]] to oppose Daenerys Targeryen. [[spoiler:The Night King]] however, remains as the GreaterScopeVillain for the season. Littlefinger is this for the Winterfell storyline as he seeks to drive the Starks apart again so he can take Sansa for himself. By the end of Season 7, Euron, Cersei, and the Night King are the only main antagonists left.
** Season 8: The Night King and Cersei Lannister, with Euron Greyjoy being a WildCard secondary villain under Cersei. [[spoiler: All prove to be a DiscOneFinalBoss as the Night King is defeated in "The Long Night" and the other two are killed in "The Bells" along with Jaime. [[FallenHero Daenerys Targaryen]] makes a FaceHeelTurn after capturing King's Landing and becomes the final Big Bad and FinalBoss of the series.]]
** It could be concluded the Lannisters are the Big Bads in general throughout the series as they are the faction most commonly identified as the villainous antagonists, however on a wider scale [[spoiler:the Night King]] and the White Walkers could be this as they are probably the biggest threat to Westeros. Littlefinger is also a contender, since he caused the War of the Five Kings to happen by having Jon Arryn murdered and framed the Lannisters for it, and he continuously amassed power as the series progressed [[spoiler:until his death in the Season 7 finale.]]
