Winter is coming.. well, technically if you've been outside, winter is already here, in bone chilling fashion no less, but in the Game of Thrones sense, we still have a few more months before we'll be able to see Tyrion Lannister (Peter Dinklage), Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia Clarke), and the rest of our friends from Westeros & Essos once again. Not too long ago, HBO released an official press release revealing the premiere date for the fifth season of their epic fantasy series, that date being April 12

Check out the official press release below and don't forget to sound off with your thoughts in the usual spot!


HBO has confirmed that the new seasons of GAME OF THRONES, SILICON VALLEY and VEEP will debut back-to-back on SUNDAY, APRIL 12, starting at 9:00 p.m. (ET/PT).

GAME OF THRONES begins its ten-episode fifth season SUNDAY, APRIL 12 (9:00-10:00 p.m.). Based on the popular book series “A Song of Ice and Fire,” by George R.R. Martin, this hit Emmy®-winning fantasy series chronicles an epic struggle for power in a vast and violent kingdom. Members of the ensemble cast for the fourth season included Emmy® and Golden Globe winner Peter Dinklage, Lena Headey, Emilia Clarke, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, Kit Harington, Natalie Dormer, Maisie Williams and Sophie Turner. Executive producers, David Benioff, D.B. Weiss, Carolyn Strauss, Frank Doelger, Bernadette Caulfield; co-executive producers, Guymon Casady, Vince Gerardis, George R.R. Martin




Summers span decades. Winters can last a lifetime. And the struggle for the Iron Throne continues.

It stretches from the south, where heat breeds plots, lusts and intrigues, to the vast and savage eastern lands, where a young queen raises an army. All the while, in the frozen north, an 800-foot wall of ice precariously protects the war-ravaged kingdom from the dark forces that lie beyond. Kings and queens, knights and renegades, liars, lords and honest men...all play the 'Game of Thrones.'

An original series based on George R.R. Martin's best-selling 'A Song of Ice and Fire' series.


Game of Thrones returns April 12

@HBComics, i tend to agree but do the gratuitous deaths bother you as much as they do me? Seems like a crutch for the writer whenever he wants shock he just kills off another character, thats just not good writing. That said i love the show and Tyrian is my dude!

@hyckfinnisher its not that he just kills people off.. its how, and why. theres way more genius in why people die in game of thrones in the deaths themselves. and i think because of that, its very very good writing. the best i've seen
