Good news for Game of Thrones fans. The series’ aftershow has been picked up by Twitter, meaning viewers will be able to watch the programme live on social media.

The show, which was created by website The Ringer, was previously broadcast on US channel HBO’s digital platforms, but was cancelled after the most recent series of GoT.

But now the show is set to move to Twitter meaning, avid viewers from all around the world can catch the latest Thrones gossip and episode recaps.

The show which was called After the Thrones, will be rebranded Talk the Thrones for Twitter, and will continue to be hosted by The Ringer’s Andy Greenwald and Chris Ryan.

However, it’ll be a late night for UK Thrones addicts wanting to tune in as the show will be streamed directly after each new episode of series seven, at around 3am our time.

CEO of The Ringer Bill Simmons said the aftershow’s latest incarnation would be an “interactive multimedia experience”.

“We love Game Of Thrones and we love the way Twitter is thinking about content right now”, he explained.

“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.”

The penultimate series of Game of Thrones is due to start in July, with producers teasing the most action-packed episodes yet. The seventh series will kick off with an extended premiere as a reward for patient fans who have waited over a year for the show’s return.

Game of Thrones series seven will air in the US on July 16 on HBO and in the UK on July 17 at 2am and then again at 9pm on Sky Atlantic.
