It ’s running a full day after each episode of GoT air . So the aftershow , which will be hosted by Andy Greenwald and Chris Ryan ( of Grantland ’s Watch the Thrones podcast ) , will be premier on Monday , April 25 … while Game of Thrones ’ season six premieres on Sunday , April 24 .
It ’s clear that HBO want to preserve the in demand spot after Modern episodes of GoT for its own original programming , but it ’s also clear-cut that HBO does n’t read how these aftershows work . the great unwashed view them because they ’re on right after the show they love , which is when they ’re most excited to devour more information about whatever the infernal region they ’ve been observe . Maybe After the Thrones will be the best aftershow ever , but how many people will call back to tune in on Monday , or to even DVR it ?
But , hey , mayhap I ’m just being negative because no other aftershow is waiting so long to air after its parent show . After the Thrones will be on HBO proper , HBO Go , HBO Now , and HBO on Demand , some of which I assume are different things . Maybe people will be perfectly happy download it much like they did the observe the Thrones podcast , and it ’ll be a Brobdingnagian strike digitally , and the actual web airtime wo n’t matter at all .
Still , HBO should at least rename it “ Way After the Thrones . ”
