HBO announces plans for "Game of Thrones" talk show
If online post-show discussions about new "Game of Thrones" episodes aren't enough for you, HBO has you covered.
The network has tapped Andy Greenwald and Chris Ryan, the team behind of the popular fan podcast "Watch The Thrones," to host "After the Thrones," a weekly televised discussion of the latest episodes, revelations and plot speculation.
The premium cable network is taking a page from the playbook of AMC, which has seen great success with the live post-"Walking Dead" chat-fest "Talking Dead," hosted by Chris Hardwick.
But instead of broadcasting live, "After the Thrones" will be available each Monday following a new episode of the hit fantasy series across HBO's various platforms -- HBO NOW, HBO GO and HBO On Demand, as well as other affiliate portals -- while official airing times on HBO's main cable channels are yet to be determined.
Season six of "Game of Thrones" premieres April 24 on HBO.
