Most likely not, unless you grow a lot and start making a lot of $$. I used to dropship a product related to a tv show. My catch to avoid potential legal trouble was to make my "Brand" with something related to the show but thats not copyrighted. An example would be a object, quote, etc. My product had no logos or copyrighted material, but people definetily knew it was related to the show as it was an object that was used by one of the characters. Inside my Shopify store, I made sure to also not add any kind of images directly related to the show . But again, I ain't a lawyer , so not so sure. Hope that makes sense.

Just as @TiagoS pointed out you can always simply one off the product so you don't risk the chance. For game of thrones they aren't nor will they trademark every quote throughout the show so there's your in. For example, I've seen the phrase from Tyrion I drink and I know things. That's just one of many ideas. As long as it isn't trademarked it is considered public domain because it is just a phrase even though people will know.
