Winter is coming to the Great White Way.

A stage adaptation of “Game of Thrones” is being made for Broadway and other leading theater districts, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Set to arrive in 2023, the drama will take place during the fabled Great Tourney at Harrenhal, with franchise creator George R.R. Martin providing the story.

“The seeds of war are often planted in times of peace,” reads a statement from Martin, according to THR.

“Few in Westeros knew the carnage to come when highborn and smallfolk alike gathered at Harrenhal to watch the finest knights of the realm compete in a great tourney, during the Year of the False Spring,” he said. “It is a tourney oft referred during HBO’s ‘Game of Thrones,’ and in my novels.”

In addition to New York City, the “Games of Thrones” stage show will open on the West End in London, as well as in Australia, according to THR.

Jaime Lannister and Ned Stark are among the characters reportedly expected to be featured.

HBO’s epic “Game of Thrones” TV series concluded nearly two years ago after eight seasons.
