FilmEdge has its eye on the highly anticipated new HBO fantasy-drama GAME OF THRONES, the network's newest cutting-edge series based on the popular novels of George R.R. Martin.

As a fan of HBO's previous excellent series including TRUE BLOOD, BAND OF BROTHERS, TREME and JOHN ADAMS, we anticipate a skillful, engrossing blend of sword-wielding action, devious political conspiracies, ruthless power grabs, blood, guts and, sure, a good dose of cable-rated sexuality to boot. FilmEdge has April 17th circled on our must-see TV calendar for the series debut of GAME OF THRONES.

Go behind the scenes for the making of the series by watching Preview Videos, and view hi-res images direct from the production sets and locations in our Photo Gallery. Plunder a wealth of posters from our Download Armory to adorn your desktop in royal fashion.

GAME OF THRONES EPISODE REVIEWS

EPISODE TWO: The Kingsroad sets members of House Stark on divergent paths which all lead to power battles and mortal peril





GAME OF THRONES SYNOPSIS

Summers span decades. Winters can last a lifetime. And the struggle for the Iron Throne has begun.

It will stretch from the south, where heat breeds plots, lusts and intrigues; to the vast and savage eastern lands; all the way to the frozen north, where an 800-foot wall of ice protects the kingdom from the dark forces that lie beyond. Kings and queens, knights and renegades, liars, lords and honest men . . . all will play the Game of Thrones.

EPISODE 2 PREVIEW CLIP #2

Daenerys asks her hand maidens about the history and mythology of dragons, and hears conflicting stories based on a trader's tale versus the official Dothraki lore about the magical beasts. Having received the gift of three fossilized dragon eggs as her wedding present, Daenerys yearns for an understanding of the dragons which are the sigil image representing the Targaryen family, now exiled and existing only in the lives of her brother Viserys and herself.
