Game of Thrones Season 5 to Premiere at the Same Time Around the World - But Not in Ireland

Game of Thrones Season 5 will start at the same time around the world in 120 countries, and there will be dragons

So Game of Thrones is almost back for its fifth season, and naturally the world is in a tizzy. HBO is ensuring that that they stay that way with the annoucement that the premiere of the show, and the rest of the 10 episode run, will be broadcast simultaneously in 120 countries around the world.

That's quite the feat, seeing the American cable network working with their sister channels in Europe, South America and Asia as well as collaborating with their partners to bring dragons and dirty dealings to millions of fans at the same time around the world.
