Game of Thrones’ season six premiere kicks off in Los Angeles
We take you to the after-party, complete with cast members dragons, three-eyed ravens and pinball, but no George R.R. Martin
Winter finally came to Los Angeles … by way of Westeros.
The creators and cast of Game of Thrones, HBO’s fantasy epic, descended on Hollywood for the season six premiere bash. The TCL Chinese Theatre served as host for the unveiling before attendees ignited a glamorous stampede that headed across the street towards the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel for the after-party.
Season six of Game of Thrones comes with a heavy helping of curiosity because readers of the Game of Thrones books no longer have an advantage when it comes to how things unfold. In case you’ve been living under a rock, George R.R. Martin, the author behind the books the drama is based on, did not complete The Winds of Winter ahead of the season six premiere – so the TV series will now be carrying some spoilers.
Fans of the fantasy will find out how things play out when Game of Thrones returns on April 24.
