It seems like forever ago, though only months have elapsed since HBO announced its controversial choice to enable Game of Thrones creators David Benioff and Dan Weiss’ modern slavery drama, Confederate. Development understandably took a backseat to production of the final Game of Thrones season, but a new report may reveal “the creators are not actively working on it” anymore.

The two rapper/actors talk 70s culture and big pimping.

The cable network is dealing with a hacker that has run amok.

The popular podcast just landed a new deal with HBO.

HBO will give fans 24 hours to stream Season 1 of 'Insecure' on July 23 for free.

The shared history of two of music's most unlikely moguls.

Moreso than True Detective, HBO’s criminal justice thriller The Night Of was always intended as a one-off miniseries. And while The Night Of may have proven more critically success than commercial, talk has continually swirled of a second season, which star Michael K. Williams says HBO would be “deaf, dumb, and stupid” to ignore.

In case it wasn’t clear by the $100 million investment, or ubiquitous promotion around every corner, HBO is banking on Westworld becoming a major hit in the vein of Game of Thrones. The promotional push certainly doesn’t end with the premiere, either, as you can experience the show’s hospitality for yourself with a new AI chatbot, and even catch the premiere free of charge.

Game of Thrones can be hard enough for fans to keep keep straight, but if ever six seasons of un-pronouncable names and changing alliances should stick, it’d be Samuel L. Jackson recapping the realm. Yes, it seems Jackson hates the Lannisters about as much as he hates Foggy Nelson, recapping the entirety of Game of Thrones in a new video.

Even as the direwolf’s out of the bag with regard to Jon Snow, Game of Thrones Season 6 isn’t about to lift its veil of secrecy just yet. Cue the latest maddeningly cryptic synopses, previewing May 15's “Book of the Stranger” and May 22 outing “The Door.” Wild speculation awaits!

It’s an annual traditional we know all too well. Spending 10 weeks enraptured by the sex, blood and drama of the Seven Kingdoms, watching our favorite characters killed off by season’s end, then finding ways to survive a whole year without ‘Game of Thrones.’ Luckily we’re only days from the Season 6 premiere, but this year will be unlike the others. Now that the series has surpassed George R.R. Martin’s books, show and book fans, as well as critics, will enter ‘Game of Thrones’ knowing as much as Jon Snow. But that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t be prepared; you should be very prepared.

We’ve just two weeks to go until Game of Thrones Season 6 finally pulls back the veil on its debut, but with some lucky folk already clued in by Sunday’s event premiere, even more footage has begun making the rounds. Check out our second official clip, as Dany makes some new friends, while another Jon Snow tidbit emerges from Castle Black!
