In the UK, the show will air at 2 a.m. BST on April 29 on Sky (simultaneously with the U.S. premiere) and then again April 29 at 9 p.m. BST. In France and Germany, it looks like the premiere is at 3 a.m., but you’ll want to double check your time zone to make sure.

AFTER SHOW SPECIAL: Andy Greenwald and Chris Ryan are hosting a Game of Thrones after show that will air on Twitter immediately after each show airs on the East coast. This show is called Talk of Thrones.

PREPARING FOR THE THIRD EPISODE: To get ready for tonight’s episode, you’ll want to watch this preview below.

And here are some teasers that have aired.

The last two weeks have been focused on character development and a lot of things happened that fans had been waiting a long time to see. Jon Snow rode a dragon in the premiere and found out about his true lineage. His lineage had been a fan theory for years and years, until the truth was finally revealed last season. In the second episode, he told Dany the truth about who he is and Dany immediately worried about losing her claim to the Iron Throne. Of course, knowing Jon, he’s not really interested in that at all.

Sansa, meanwhile, has been viewing Dany with a lot of suspicion. But considering what Sansa has been through, it’s understandable. Arya and Gendry finally hooked up, and Missandei and Grey Worm made plans for their lives after the war.

Meanwhile, Cersei hired Bronn to kill Jaime and Tyrion, and Jaime arrived in Winterfell to warn them about Cersei’s betrayal. Dany ultimately let Jaime live after hearing Brienne stand up for him, and Sansa testify that she would trust Brienne with her life. Brienne is now a knight, thanks to Jaime. And Tormund is still delivering some much-needed comedic moments.
