“Game of Thrones” Season 6 will premiere on Sunday, April 24, HBO announced Thursday at the Television Critics Association winter press tour.
The George R.R. Martin adaptation will air at 9 p.m. ET, and be followed by the Season 3 premiere of “Silicon Valley” and Season 5 premiere of “Veep.”
Season 6 of “Game of Thrones” should finally answer the question, “Is Jon Snow really dead?” as well as welcome back Bran Star (Isaac Hempstead Wright), who was absent from Season 5 as the character underwent training with the Three-Eyed Raven.
The return of the youngest Stark son could be a game-charger for loyal followers of the family, and mark a revenge plot line against the Lannisters considering that it was Jaime Lannister (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) who crippled Bran by pushing him off a tower.
