HBO Game of Thrones livestream details.
Game of Thrones is back and millions of fans’ long watch is finally over. Season 7 premieres tonight on HBO at 9 p.m. Eastern. Last season the series left off with Dany sailing to Westeros with a huge group of formidable allies and three very intimidating dragons, Jon Snow being named King in the North, and Cersei obliterating part of her kingdom so she could live. Now, we finally get to see what’s going to happen next, and you will likely want to watch it live so a single moment isn’t spoiled. If you don’t have cable, we’ve put together the perfect list for you to livestream the premiere.
