UPDATED: HBO to air first two episodes on April 17? … Nope.
UPDATE: HBO confirms that this is an error on HBO Canada’s part. Both HBO and HBO Canada will only air one episode on April 17th. The listing has since been corrected on HBOCanada.com.
According to HBO Canada’s site, it sounds like April 17th will bring us not one, but TWO episodes of Game of Thrones. The site, which is restricted to Canadians only, says “Don’t miss the special 2 episode premiere on April 17th at 9 PM ET/MT.” Screen shot provided courtesy of @schmeis.
Winter Is Coming: Well this is a surprise. I don’t think HBO Canada was supposed to mention this yet as we have heard nothing from HBO about it. But if HBO Canada is going to do it, HBO in the US will certainly do it as well. No way they would let HBO Canada air an episode before them. And it does make sense as True Blood will likely premiere in June so doubling up Thrones on the first week will allow HBO to fit it in. We’ll update this post once we get official confirmation, but it seems like this will happen.
