Briefly: Game of Thrones fourth season premiered to HBO Go crashing numbers just two days ago… so HBO, naturally, renewed the series for not one, but two more seasons.

According to the press release, “The season four premiere of GAME OF THRONES on Sunday, April 6 (9:00-10:00 p.m. ET/PT) was watched by an average of 6.6 million viewers, making it HBO’s most-watched program since the finale of “The Sopranos” in 2007 (11.9 million viewers). The premiere improved 52% over last season’s premiere and 23% over last season’s finale. GAME OF THRONES added an additional 1.6 million viewers from the 11:00 p.m. and 1:00 a.m. replays, for a gross audience of 8.2 million viewers for the night. Season three of the series had an average gross audience of 14.4 million viewers per episode.”

That’s a big increase.

HBO Programming President Michael Lombardo stated that “GAME OF THRONES is a phenomenon like no other. David Benioff and D.B. Weiss, along with their talented collaborators, continue to surpass themselves, and we look forward to more of their dazzling storytelling.”

Are you looking forward to (at least) two more years in Westeros? What did you think of Sunday’s premiere? Sound out below!

Briefly: Following the humorous featurette from a few days back, HBO has just released a brand new trailer for the next season of Game of Thrones.

The video clocks in at just over a minute and a half, and seems to include mostly new, mostly exciting new footage, so take a look at the video below, and be sure to let us know what you hope to see when Game of Thrones premieres on April 6th!

Briefly: We’re now just a few weeks away from the highly anticipated premiere of Game of Thrones fourth season, and HBO has yet again released a new featurette for the series.

This time, it’s not a featurette about the upcoming episodes, but instead about how the series came to be in the first place. As the description reads, the video offers a “brief and entertaining history of how the HBO series came to be. Executive Producers and Writers David Benioff and Dan Weiss tell the entertaining and sometimes hard-to-believe journey of how the hugely popular book series are/were made into a smash HBO series. Narrated by Charles Dance, viewers get an insider’s look as only the creators could tell.”

Take a look at the featurette below, and let us know if you’re looking forward to the new season. Game of Thrones premieres on April 6th!

Briefly: During last night’s True Detective finale (which I haven’t had a chance to watch yet, so shhh), HBO debuted a chill-inducing new trailer for next month’s premiere of Game of Thrones.

The new preview features a ton of new footage (including a very brief glimpse of a dragon), and definitely gives us more plot than the previous trailers contained. As always, everything looks very impressive, and the performances are super affective.

Take a look at the preview below, and let us know if you’re looking forward to the new season. Take a look at the video below, and be sure to let us know what you think. Game of Thrones will premiere its fourth season on April 6th!

Briefly: Following last week’s 15-minute behind-the-scenes look at Game of Thrones fourth season, HBO has debuted a new trailer for the upcoming episodes.

I haven’t yet finished season three, so I’m not too sure what I’ve missed, but I’m sure glad to know that Joffrey is still alive. I love that guy (not).

Take a look at the trailer below, and let us know what you hope to see in season four! Game of Thrones premieres on April 6th! We’ll be sure to keep you up-to-date with further marketing from the season.

Now, I really need to catch up.

Briefly: Following the behind-the-scenes look that was released last week, HBO has debuted a near 15-minute sneak peak at what’s to come on Game of Thrones.

I haven’t actually watched the video myself, as I haven’t yet finished season three and I’m not too keen on spoiling it. The description reads that the video “features clips from upcoming episodes, behind-the-scenes-footage, interviews with talent, and cast members’ answers to questions posed by fans.”

Briefly: Following the trailer that premiered back in January, HBO has just debuted a new behind-the-scenes featurette for the fourth season of Game of Thrones.

I haven’t yet finished season three, so I’m not too sure what I’ve missed, but I’m sure glad to know that Joffrey is still alive. I love that guy (not).

Take a look at the featurette below, and let us know what you hope to see in the upcoming episodes! Game of Thrones premieres on April 6th, and we’ll be sure to keep you up-to-date with further marketing from the season!

Now, I really need to catch up.

Briefly: It seems like just yesterday that the premiere date of Game of Thrones fourth season was revealed (it was), and now we have a few tiny, tiny teasers for the upcoming episodes.

The videos all come from the official Game of Thrones Vine account (meaning that each teaser is less than six seconds long), and all end with the announcement of when we’ll be able to see a full trailer, which is this Sunday, January 12th, at 8:58PM Eastern.

Take a look at the teasers below, and let us know what you’re hoping to see on Sunday!

Briefly: It’s been a long, cold Winter since the third season of Game of Thrones concluded all the way back in June. You had plenty of time to catch up on George R.R. Martin’s series of novels (but you didn’t, did you), and now we know just when TV’s most epic drama will return for a fourth season.

It’s a little later than we’d hoped (seeing as, well, we want it right now), and even a little later than last year’s premiere at the end of March. We can all return to Westeros on April 6th at 9PM.

What do you hope to see in season four? Some of the slow-burn events that have been building since the pilot, maybe? Have you recovered from the red wedding yet? Sound out and speculate below!
