Game of Thrones

After the Thrones
is an American
live
television
aftershow
that premiered on April 25, 2016, and ended on June 28, 2016. It was hosted by
Andy Greenwald
and Chris Ryan who discussed episodes of the
HBO
television series
Game of Thrones
. The talk show was executive produced by
Bill Simmons
and Eric Weinberger. Greenwald and Ryan previously hosted a podcast version of the show titled
Watch the Thrones
on Simmons'
Grantland
website. A similar talk show called
Thronecast
aired on British channel
Sky Atlantic
, which also discussed episodes of
Game of Thrones
.
The talk show was made available to HBO and
HBO Now
subscribers, and airs on the Monday following each episode of
Game of Thrones
. After the show's cancellation, Greenwald and Ryan, along with Simmons, made a similar live stream video podcast for distribution on
Twitter
called
Talk the Thrones
. Although it covers the same subject matter, it is a different production.

Broadcast and format
[
edit
]
The series features hosts
Andy Greenwald
and Chris Ryan from the upcoming sports and pop culture website,
The Ringer
created by
Bill Simmons
, discussing episodes of the
HBO
fantasy
drama
Game of Thrones
.
[2]
Following the success of similar shows such as
Talking Dead
,
[3]
which serves as a network sanctioned discussion of the show,
HBO
decided to introduce its own version of the format in which the hosts provide a "lively, humorous and sophisticated look" at the previous night's episode.
[2]
[4]
The show airs on the stand-alone streaming service
HBO Now
on the Monday following each episode of the show's
sixth season
, which itself airs on Sundays.

Greenwald and Ryan previously hosted a similar version of the show for Simmons' now-defunct sports and pop culture website
Grantland
, titled "Watch the Thrones", in a
podcast
format.
[4]
Previous "Watch the Thrones" guests Mallory Rubin and Jason Concepcion are also part of the show.
[5]
The series began on Monday, April 25, 2016, on HBO Now, HBO Go, HBO On Demand and HBO. The stated purpose of the show is to "recap the latest episode, explaining the who, what, when and where, exploring the complicated politics and history of
Thrones
, and offering absurd and not-so-absurd theories about future episodes."
[4]
[6]
For the
seventh season
of
Game of Thrones
, the after show changed its name to
Talk the Thrones
and moved from HBO to the social media site
Twitter
, where it will stream live every week after an episode airs. Simmons said that "We love Game of Thrones and we love the way Twitter is thinking about content right now, so we jumped at the chance to blow out our Thrones show into an interactive multimedia experience ? something that reacts immediately to what just happened, almost like a postgame show in sports - Nobody is equipped to do that better than Twitter. It's the natural evolution of what we had already established with Chris, Andy, Mallory and Jason."
