YOU may want sit down for this.
As if it’s not bad enough that every year fans of
Game of Thrones have to wait more than nine months for the next instalment of the most talked about TV show on Earth, it looks like the wait will be even longer for season six.
Instead of the usual late March/early April return for the series,
Game of Thrones doesn’t look likely to be back on our screens until late April/early May. The horror.
The Hollywood Reporter wrote that
HBO confirmed a February 14 starting date for
Vinyl and February 21 premieres for
Girls and
Togetherness. By the time those shows close out their 10-episode runs, it’ll be a month later than
GoT fans were expecting to fill out those Monday nights.
That’s four weeks later to find out if (spoiler alert) Jon Snow is really dead. Four weeks later to find out (spoiler alert) if Daenerys will make it back to Meereen.
What the delay means is that George R.R. Martin’s next book,
The Winds of Winter, may actually be released before season six premieres. Martin has pointed to a release before the next season of the popular HBO show but you never know, with the notoriously slow writer having promised releases that eventuated much, much later.
Though, to be fair, he has so very many pages to write.
GoT book readers may actually welcome the delay if it means getting through the sure-to-be-heavy tome before the show starts. The season finale of the fifth season of the TV show has caught up to the events of the book series, so book readers can no longer affect that air of superiority over knowing more than the TV fans.
For purely-TV fans of
GoT, they’ll just have to suck up the delay and watch something else on a Monday night for just a bit longer.
