Details About February's GAME OF THRONES Season 5 Special

TV Game of Thrones by Ben Pearson

A few weeks ago, we told you that HBO is going to air a Game of Thrones special on February 8th, 2015. I speculated that the special would be similar to the one the network released last year, featuring interviews with the cast and brief glimpses into what we can expect with the upcoming season. But EW has some new details about the upcoming special, and it appears that those who are averse to spoilers (like myself) won't have much to worry about after all.

It’s a half-hour documentary that covers one day of season 5 production on three different Thrones sets in three different countries – Belfast, Northern Ireland; Dubrovnik, Croatia; Sevilla and Osuna, Spain. The special follow key crew members and promises to highlight “the epic sets, renowned cast and global scale of Thrones, as well as the more intimate and individual challenges of our subjects, giving the audience a new perspective on one of the most elaborate productions in television history.”

So unless they happen to be shooting a massive scene that spoils a huge plot point for the upcoming season, this seems more like it will just be a cool little behind-the-scenes look more in line with something you might see on the special features menu of a Blu-ray or DVD. Be sure to check out the awesome artwork that will be given away at the upcoming IMAX screenings of Game of Thrones, and circle April 12th on your calendars - that's when season 5 officially premieres.
