HBO Sets Premiere Dates for Game of Thrones, Veep, and Silicon Valley, Renews Bill Maher Through 2017
Screw everything else, this is the most important thing you'll read today.
HBO has announced a premiere date for the highly anticipated fifth season of its epic fantasy drama Game of Thrones, and while it will be pretty hard to top Peter Dinklage shooting Charles Dance with a crossbow while the latter took a dump, the show will undoubtedly make an effort when Season 5 debuts on Sunday, April 12 at 9pm. Just don't expect Bran and Hodor to be part of that effort; the pair are taking a year off because their storyline has caught up to its source material. However, you may want to make some space in your brain for the approximately one million new characters who will be debuting as the series expands its scope and travels to the sunny kingdom of Dorne.
And that's not all!
In order to make things easy for those of us with bad memories and short attention spans, HBO will follow up Game of Thrones' return with the season premieres of its gut-busting comedies Silicon Valley and Veep. After our return to Westeros at 9pm, the hilarious bunch of nerds who brought you the greatest dick joke ever told will return for Season 2 at 10pm, and then Selina Meyer will get going on her stay in the White House at 10:30pm.
In other HBO news, the network has revealed a tentative premiere date for its newest series, The Brink, which stars Jack Black, Pablo Schreiber, and Tim Robbins. A dark comedy focusing on a geopolitical crisis with the potential to start World War III, the show will debut sometime this summer.
And finally, Real Time With Bill Maher isn't going anywhere anytime soon. The show has been renewed for Season 14 and Season 15, which will keep it on the air through 2017. Season 13 begins this Friday, January 9 at 10pm.

(rhetorical statement, I already read the books: there's no need to quote what happened to them)
I am not a fan of wishing time away, but for GoT's I'll make an exception
April brings us closer to other months during which some great movies will be releasing.
Although there're still some elements of her story that haven't happened, and some like Hot Pie completely made up (for the better).
No rush, GRRM.
