After the Thrones is an American live talk show that premiered on April 25, 2016. The series is hosted by Andy Greenwald and Chris Ryan who discuss episodes of the HBO television series Game of Thrones. The talk show is executive produced by Bill Simmons. Greenwald and Ryan previously hosted a podcast version of the show titled Watch the Thrones on Simmons' Grantland website. A similar talk show called Thronecast airs on British channel Sky Atlantic, which also discusses episodes of Game of Thrones.

The talk show is made available to HBO and HBO Now subscribers, and airs on the Monday following each episode of Game of Thrones.

Broadcast and format

The series features hosts Andy Greenwald and Chris Ryan from the upcoming sports and pop culture website, The Ringer created by Bill Simmons, discussing episodes of the HBO fantasy drama Game of Thrones.[1] Following the success of similar shows such as Talking Dead,[2] which serves as a network sanctioned discussion of the show, HBO decided to introduce its own version of the format in which the hosts provide a "lively, humorous and sophisticated look" at the previous night's episode.[1][3] The show airs on the stand-alone streaming service HBO Now on the Monday following each episode of the show's sixth season, which itself airs on Sundays.[1][3] Greenwald and Ryan previously hosted a similar version of the show for Simmons' now-defunct sports and pop culture website Grantland, titled "Watch the Thrones", in a podcast format.[3] Previous "Watch the Thrones" guests Mallory Rubin and Jason Concepcion are also part of the show.[4]

The series began on Monday, April 25, 2016 on HBO Now, HBO Go, HBO On Demand and HBO. The stated purpose of the show is to "recap the latest episode, explaining the who, what, when and where, exploring the complicated politics and history of Thrones, and offering absurd and not-so-absurd theories about future episodes."[3][5] Depending on the show's success, it could be added into the HBO lineup at a later date, according to Variety.[6]

These episodes discuss season six of Game of Thrones. Starting from the first episode, "The Red Woman".
