In an unsurprising turn of events, HBO renewed Game of Thrones for a fourth season that will air in 2014 and will be for ten more episodes. After the big ratings delivered for the third season premiere, HBO moved fast and secured the show for a new season that will start production later this year to premiere around this time of next year.

More information to fill the lists for cancelled shows of 2012 and renewed shows of 2012. And this one anybody could´ve seen coming. It was just a matter of timing for the announcement from HBO to renew Game of Thrones for season three. After all, season one was a hit, and season two has been even bigger in the ratings for the show based on Martin´s Novel.
When announcing the renewal for season three for Game of Thrones, HBO’s programming president Michael Lombardo said “Series creators David Benioff and D.B. Weiss raised our expectations for the second season – and then surpassed them.” Continue reading
The countdown for the second season of Games of Thrones is coming to an end, when it premieres April 1st at 9 PM on HBO.
The fantasy series will comeback, and according to what we get to see in the trailer, season two will be even better than season one, and that´s not an easy feat, especially considering the last few episodes that were actually mind blowing.
Folks at HBO have released two official posters of the new season of Game of Thrones, and those are the pictures illustrating this article along with a couple pictures of the Key Art from the upcoming sophomore season.

While 2011 brought us history-making news from around the world, it also brought us some truly spectacular television shows! From quirky relationship-based comedies to supernatural stories featuring some gorgeous vampires, 2011 had some wonderfully stand-out offerings, and you’ll find that Directv is a good way to get the shows you want.
How I Met Your Mother walks a fine line between over-the-top drama and side-splitting hilarity, and this show, now going on 5 years, seems no closer to letting us in on the answer posed in the title. The relationships are growing and changing, and its still anyone’s game.
For the James Bond fan in all of us, there was the animated show Archer, which takes on Cold War espionage and the rules of Mad Men with hilarious results. With co-workers that range from the mildly-deranged to the completely insane, Archer deals with issues as varied as sleeper agents and breast cancer. Whether you’re there for the snarky one-liners, the ridiculous antics of the semi-sociopathic main character, or the rare serious moment, Archer had plenty to offer.
In the fictional town of Bon Temps, humans and vampires live side by side in an uneasy peace. The television series True Blood is based on The Southern Vampire Mysteries, by Charlene Harris. After ending its fourth season on a series of cliffhangers, HBO has announced that the show will continue in 2012.
On the dramatic of end things, 2011 saw the emergence of Homeland as a perfectly-acted, perfectly-timed thriller. This show deals with anti-terrorism issues, and in a stunning departure from her previous roles, Clare Danes plays an on-edge CIA agent who is faced with impossible choices.
Game of Thrones, another offering from HBO, introduced a dark edge to the fantasy genre and got everyone interested in the George R.R. Martin series. Whether you are a fan of the books, or you only came to see the blood hit the screen, Game of Thrones offers the watching audience plenty of high drama and fascinating choices. While it took audiences a while to warm to this show, it has a lot to offer if you hang in there.
Storage Wars, a show about investigating the contents of abandoned storage units, has ended its second season and shows no signs of slowing down. This show gives the viewer a voyeuristic thrill and the fun of high-stakes bargaining. There are plenty of interesting things to see and each storage unit opened seems to have its own story.
Game of Thrones continues this weekend in HBO its run to become cult classic; now with episode six called A Golden Crown, in which reinstated as the Hand, Ned sits for the King while Robert is on a hunt, and issues a decree that could have long-term consequences throughout the Seven Kingdoms. At the Eyrie, Tyrion confesses to his “crimes,” and demands that Lysa give him a trial by combat. Joffrey (Jack Gleeson) apologizes to Sansa; Viserys receives his final payment for Daenerys from Drogo (Jason Mamoa).
But I also have a couple of video spoilers for this episode of Game of Thrones:
Game of Thrones is one of the most talked about new shows; and there are several great new shows this year, luckily for us: Breakout Kings, The Borgias, The Killing, Drew Carey´s Improv-A-Ganza, Game of Thrones, King, Body of Proof among my favourites so far.

We are reviewing all the cancelled shows and renewed shows of 2011.
And while yesterday we had the sad news to see Freddy Rodriguez´s new show Chaos get cancelled by CBS, the Ying to this Yang came from the hands of HBO. HBO renewed Game of Thrones for a second season after only airing one episode.
Many people thought this decision would come, but later on, mainly because the pilot´s ratings weren´t all that great for its first airing, but the re-runs of it were way solid for repeats.
Hence, HBO renews Game of Thrones. This kind of news are great, not only because of this particular show, but as a way to give a boost of confidence to the writers and the cast. Now there´s no need to panic and feel pressure over renewal. Now it´s time to develop the story and make it a great show.
That´s one of my favourite things about HBO, the respect they have for the shows and the quality.
