* In ''Film/{{1917}}'' Tommen and Robb are brothers ([[spoiler:though unfortunately they don't ever actually appear together]]).

* Creator/MichelleFairley went on to play another mother of a red-haired girl in ''Series/24LiveAnotherDay''... and this time she also happens to be the BigBad, whose motivation is her husband's death, among other similarities. She followed this with a role on ''Series/{{Resurrection}}'' as a woman who comes back from the dead and despises her daughter-in-law for ruining her family.

* Jorah Mormont and Meera Reed portrayed father and daughter in the 2009 miniseries ''The Diary of Anne Frank''.

* ''Avengers: Endgame'' ended with [[spoiler: Tony Stark wiping out Thanos and all of his forces with one snap.]] Two days after that premiered, we have [[spoiler: Arya Stark disintegrating the Night King and all his White Walkers and wights with one stab. It seems like the last weekend of April 2019 was a good one for people named Stark to rack up ''colossal'' kill counts!]]

* Mark Addy (Robert Baratheon) and Indira Varma (Ellaria Sand) would voice husband and wife in ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft: Battle for Azeroth''. Also, an ActionGirl serving House Proudmoore, Taelia Fordragon, is voiced by Ellie Kendrick.

* There's a 2015 ''Series/SesameStreet'' parody skit called "Game of Chairs", which is a literal game of music chairs. Grover has to remove a heavy chair in-between turns and says [[spoiler:"should get some wheels on these chairs..." At the end of ''Game of Thrones'', the wheelchair-bound Bran Stark becomes King of the Six Kingdoms.]]

* A frequent comment was that Creator/JonathanPryce's performance as the High Sparrow was very similar to Pope Francis (their uncanny resemblance has been pointed out for years also). In 2019, he actually [[Film/TheTwoPopes played Pope Francis]].

* Creator/SophieTurner would be in two franchises ending in 2019 (one of these this one) [[Film/DarkPhoenix that were widely criticized as unsatisfying]].

* Remember Robb Stark's last words to Jon Snow? "The next time I see you, you'll be all in black." Richard Madden and Kit Harrington will reunite in Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse's ''Eternals'' where Kit will portray Dane Whitman, a.k.a. the '''Black''' Knight

* One has to wonder what the Lannisters would make of Music/KatyPerry's song "Roar", which repeats their motto "Hear Me Roar" several times.

** This got even better just a few months later when ''Film/{{Rocketman}}'' portrayed the same guy as being very Littlefinger-esque himself, though not played by Gillen this time.

* The climactic battle of the entire series winds up being with [[Film/TerminatorGenisys Sarah Connor]] vs. [[Series/TheSarahConnorChronicles Sarah Connor]].

** In a similar way, Creator/ToshiyukiMorikawa's role as Tyrion could be this considering his debut role as the titular [[spoiler:Anime/TekkamanBlade]] and how both shows ends: [[spoiler:[[PersonOfMassDestruction Blade aka Takaya Aiba]] has a ChestBlaster weapon named Voltekka, which, after few upgrades, is capable of leveling cities with it. In this show, Tyrion has to stop a person who destroyed a city with a FantasticNuke, in this case a dragon. Also, Takaya ends crippled by the end of the series, compared here, when Tyrion ends serving a crippled ruler instead]].

** The end of the show brings a bigger one on regards of [[spoiler:Creator/JunFukuyama's]] role as the dub voice of [[spoiler:Bran]], taking into consideration his StarMakingRole as [[spoiler:[[Anime/CodeGeass Lelouch Lamperouge aka Lelouch vi Britannia]]]] at the very end of the second season: In the aforementioned show, [[spoiler:Lelouch became the emperor of Britannia and plans to conquer the world, just like Daenerys planned to do, with the help of a WeaponOfMassDestruction (In ''Code Geass'' with the Sword of Damocles and the F.L.E.I.J.A. warhead and in ''Game of Thrones'' with a dragon) and both Lelouch and Daenerys ended being killed by their closest allies (Suzaku Kururugi and Jon Snow respectively) in similar ways (being stabbed)]]. The main difference here is [[spoiler:while there's two cities destroyed by the F.L.E.I.J.A. in the series, mainly Tokyo and Pendragon, the capital city of Britannia, Lelouch wasn't involved in their destruction, as the former was destroyed accidentally by Suzaku and the latter was nuked by his brother Schneizel el Britannia in an attempt to assure his authority, compared with King's Landing, when Daenerys orders its destruction without guilt. Also, unlike Lelouch, Bran survives the whole thing and became the ruler of Westeros]]. To make the irony even sweeter, [[spoiler:Bran's role is very similar to Lelouch's sister Nunnally, who, just like Bran, she is also crippled and she became the empress of Britannia after his brother was killed]].
