“After the Thrones” will debut April 25, the day after the season 6 premiere of “Game of Thrones.” The series will be hosted by Andy Greenwald and Chris Ryan, writers for Simmons’ new site the Ringer.

The aftershow will be available on digital services HBO Now and HBO Go, as was all as through HBO On Demand. No linear telecasts for “After the Thrones” have yet been scheduled, but may be announced at a later date.


ETA: Not Simmons, but Simmons writers for The Ringer (his new HBO affiliated site).

seems like someone would've come up with this about 15 years ago

I think the after show ideas are masturbatory and stupid. But whatever if people seem to like them. I just won't watch.

well they're genius in the fact that they probably draw big numbers and are cheap to make. In execution, they serve no purpose and add nothing....but stay tuned for the extended teaser for next week's episode!

Honestly that sounds pretty lame

Ryan and Greenwald are decently knowledgable but are soooo fricking obnoxious and pretentious.

Their podcast would put me to sleep if they didn't make sure to yell at a frighteningly high pitch into the microphone every 4 minutes or so

It wasn't too bad when it was at Grantland. OnDemand or Internet-based makes sense with the scheduling of shows like Silicon Valley right after anyway.

Should be solid if HBO allows access to actor interviews and such.

The real question is will mention of it be allowed in the Hodor thread.

The night is dark and full of more reasons for banning.

Can they squeeze one more Kit Harrington interview where he tries to convince everyone that he's been telling the truth all year? Like at the beginning of the episode he does his speel in front of regular people and they laugh, then he tries the same routine against small children and smart puppy's and they still don't believe him?

Apparently they don't let you post a post if it has the words "< redacted spoiler >" in it

As long as Mallory Rubin isnt involved. I find her voice unbearably annoying.

Agreed, but it's still a good idea
