One of the most popular TV shows returns this Sunday night. “Game of Thrones,” HBO’s adaptation of the fantasy novel series A Song of Ice and Fire written by George R.R. Martin will begin its 6th season Sunday night at 8pm.
Last December, as Game of Thrones aired their Season 5 finale, the popular HBO show was named the most downloaded TV show for the fourth year in a row.
“With an estimated 14.4 million downloads via BitTorrent, the 2015 season finale has beaten the competition by a landslide.
More than half of the downloads occurred in the first week after the show aired and the total exceeds the number of traditional viewers in the US. The Walking Dead and Big Bang Theory complete the top three with an estimated 6.9 and 4.4 million downloads respectively,” reported torrentfreak.com.
Where to Watch Game of Thrones
If you don’t have HBO as part of your cable plan, you can download HBO NOW. It’s just like Netflix–no TV package required–you can stream HBO shows on any device. HBO NOW costs $14,99 per month, but you can sign up for a free trial (1 month).
Google Play is offering a deal on previous Game of Thrones seasons as well as offering a free episode. Through April 28, get into the Game of Thrones world with the series pilot for free, take up to 60% off individual seasons and save $20 when you buy the bundle pack of seasons 1-5.
What Happened Last Season?
With so many complex characters and kingdoms, it’s easy to forget how the previous season ended. The New York Times has a great breakdown of each character and what was going on with their story line at the end of season 5. Read it here.
