Game of Thrones Season 6 hasn’t picked up from a major Dorne shocker in the premiere, but as the release of George R.R. Martin’s latest Winds of Winter chapter reminds us, fans far prefer the nuanced storyline of the books to the show’s stunted adaptation. So much so, in fact, that some cheeky fans have raised over $20,000 (of $20 million) to “fix” the Dorne storyline by filming their own version.

Even as the direwolf’s out of the bag with regard to Jon Snow, Game of Thrones Season 6 isn’t about to lift its veil of secrecy just yet. Cue the latest maddeningly cryptic synopses, previewing May 15's “Book of the Stranger” and May 22 outing “The Door.” Wild speculation awaits!

It seems almost silly to discuss Sunday’s Game of Thrones without pointing toward the inevitable obvious, that the character everyone thought would come back to life … came back to life. Viewers perhaps weren’t expecting the twist quite so soon, but now it seems the erstwhile corpse of Jon Snow may put in more time with Season 6 than any prior year.

Well, if The Walking Dead warranted a second dip in the Honest Trailer waters, you can bet Game of Thrones would be taking a dunk. The latest spoiler-laden parody trailer for Seasons 4 and 5 (and a little of 6) has officially arrived, starring Littlefinger’s many accents, Stannis’ quiet brooding, and all the heavy metal covers you can handle.

HBO’s Westworld has had its share of production setbacks (as of publishing, without a premiere date as well), but showrunner Jonathan Nolan insists that the sci-fi drama hasn’t undergone any re-calibration, only that the massive production requirements proved significantly more complicated than HBO thought.

Ahead of what will likely prove one of its biggest recorded weekends, HBO already issued a 2017 renewal to Game of Thrones, and now its comedy companions follow suit. Not only will our beloved Veep stay in office for a sixth season, so too will Mike Judge’s Silicon Valley bumble through the tech revolution for a fourth year.

Game of Thrones Season 6 may not cower to critics, but when the Mother of Dragons demands it, showrunners are wise to follow. A new interview with Queen Daenerys herself, Emilia Clarke, calls for a very flaccid end to the HBO drama, which itself apparently denied fans Jason Momoa’s “fabulous” member.

Welp, you were already going to spend hours after Game of Thrones Season 6 episodes discussing everything in exhaustive detail, so why not official hosts? Yes, the world of Westeros will have its own HBO after-show for Season 6, as hosted by Andy Greenwald and Chris Ryan under HBO’s partnership with Bill Simmons.

Following a few weeks’ rest, SNL will spring ahead with Game of Thrones star Peter Dinklage making his first official hosting turn, and you know what spring means: Winter is coming. You know, eventually. In a roundabout sense. Anyway, the first official promos are here!

Game of Thrones will no doubt prove pretty judicious when it comes to Season 6 footage after the initial trailer, and the latest trailer stands as proof. There’s no more Jon Snow to stoke the fire, but the latest look at Season 6 interjects a giant or two among plenty of new footage for the April premiere, including that mysterious Night’s King.

Game of Thrones Season 6 will feature plenty of major battles on the human side, but as the old saying goes, “Winter is definitely right around the corner, and maybe some scary-face guys too?” Or something. Any who, see said scary-face guys for yourself in new Season 6 featurette on Game of Thrones’ prosthetics, along with a tiny tease of where the Night’s King might strike next.

We’ve had a taste of Mike Judge’s Silicon Valley Season 3 to date, and now Pied Piper’s return is at last out of beta. Richard scrambles to get back into his own company, and T.J. Miller rides a unicorn in our first trailer and poster for the April premiere of Silicon Valley Season 3.
