HBO’s Game of Thrones fans will be able to buy the third series of the fantasy series on blinkbox following its Sky Atlantic airing – months ahead of its DVD and Blu-ray release.
Fans of the Emmy- and Golden Globe-winning epic who haven’t seen the series on Sky Atlantic will be able to buy it on blinkbox from 15th July.
Demand to purchase the third series of the mythical drama is predicted to be high after record numbers tuned in to watch the latest instalment on Sky Atlantic.
Game of Thrones fever has swept the UK, with fans gripped by its twists, hitting fever pitch with the shocking ‘red wedding’ scene last week. blinkbox anticipates the hype surrounding the series will attract those who don’t have a Sky subscription who feel they’ve missed out after seeing friends’ reactions on social media.
blinkbox CEO Michael Comish added: “Game of Thrones is the TV show of the moment and we expect demand for the third series to be high.
Whether you have heard about the series recently thanks to the buzz around season 3 or have enjoyed the first two episodes but don’t have a Sky subscription, blinkbox is the place to enjoy this gripping series.”
Colin Smith, Director, International Digital Distribution for HBO said: “We are thrilled to offer Game of Thrones season 3 via blinkbox for those in the UK who haven’t had the opportunity to see it.”
