Countdown to the struggle for the Iron
Throne has begun! Get up to speed with two specials prior to the season launch.
The Emmy® Award-winning drama series Game of Thrones returns to M-Net,
channel 101, on April 18 at 21h30, shortly after its US premiere. As a special
treat to fans of the series, as well as those viewers who have not watched the
series from the start, M-Net will also screen an exclusive one-hour special on
the channel on April 11 respectively, in the time-slot allocated to the series.
The special is built around behind-the-scenes
footage and interviews with the actors, directors, producers and set designers
that illustrate the magnitude of this production.
The exclusive Game of Thrones special also takes viewers on a journey through the
major events in the series to date, explains how all the families and
characters have developed, and shows in detail how the different locations in
different countries have challenged the actors and producers.
Based on the bestselling fantasy book
series by George R.R. Martin, Game of
Thrones is an epic story of treachery and nobility set on the continent of
Westeros, where summers and winters can last years, and only the lust for power
is eternal. The series is also executive-produced by David Benioff, D B Weiss,
Carolyn Strauss, Frank Doelger and Bernie Caulfield. Martin is among the
co-executive producers. A large part of season 4 storyline will be on the
second half of Martin’s A Storm of Swords,
the third in his A Song of Ice and Fire
series.

of Thrones’ returning cast is led by Peter Dinklage
(Emmy® for this role), Lena Headey, Emilia Clarke, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau,
