The episode of the Battle of Winterfell on Game of Thrones just broke a television record

Millions of viewers from around the world have connected to watch Denerra's northern homes and Daenerys' army confront the White Walkers in "The Long Night," Sunday, April 28.

And these fans were also busy tweeting about the already iconic episode – albeit slightly dark – since it has since become the most-tweeted episode about scripted television all the time.

according to Variety, the episode has accumulated more than 7.8 million tweets – the most tweeted characters being Arya, the king of the night, Bran, Jon Snow and Cersei.

The latter might surprise some fans, since Cersei was not even at the Battle of Winterfell.

But it seems that she will be a great player next week, if the trailer for episode 4 has enough to appear.

After defeating the White Walkers (yes, Arya!), It seems that what's left of Winterfell's troops (RIP the Fallen) and the remaining two Dany Dragons will be traveling to King's Landing to fight with Cersei, Euron Greyjoy, The Mountain, Qyburn and the Gold Company for the Iron Throne.

Daenerys and Jon must also settle this case of true heir while Bronn goes to the North to kill the Lannister brothers, so it seems that the fans will have much more to say during the last three episodes. .

Valar Dohaeris, everyone.
