HBO Sets Premiere Date For GAME OF THRONES Season 5
After a memorable ending to their fourth season, HBO has announced the premiere date for the highly anticipated fifth season of their epic fantasy series Game of Thrones.
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.

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.
