As the world anxiously anticipates April 14 for the series finale of Game of Thrones, the cast of the much beloved show gathered in New York on April 3 for one last season premiere. Almost every named character from the show showed up on the red carpet for what looked like a fun night.

Fan favourite Kit Harrington, who plays Jon Snow, showed up to the event with his wife Rose Leslie who also happened to be his on-screen love interest, the wildling Ygritte. There were many other blasts from the past, including villain of note, King Joffrey, or rather, Jack Gleeson.

Nonetheless, it was clear that the actors, actresses and their partners had a great time and were clearly one big happy family during the almost-decade long filming of the show.

Here are some of the best snaps from the day:
