This Christmas, Sky Atlantic gives the ultimate TV gift: every episode of the multi award-winning Game of Thrones over twelve consecutive days, giving new viewers the chance to see the show everyone is talking about and fans the opportunity to revisit the epic adventure from the very beginning.

From Saturday 20 December onwards, Sky and NOW TV customers can enjoy between three or four episodes of Sky Atlantic’s must-see drama every night from 9pm.

A blockbusting saga of revenge, betrayal, greed and lust, Game of Thrones is as dark, gritty, shocking and absorbing as the international best-selling books by George RR Martin that it’s based on.  And with scintillating performances from an expansive and talented cast including Sean Bean, Lena Headey, Peter Dinklage and Charles Dance, Game of Thrones has enthralled critics and audiences alike, with The Times declaring “This is as good as it gets” and Radio Times calling it “an exceptional show in its prime.”

Sky Atlantic’s Twelve Days, One Throne begins with the first three instalments from Game of Thrones series one from 9pm onwards on Saturday 20 December.  For the next eleven nights viewers can enjoy between three or four unmissable episodes each evening from 9pm. 

Whether customers are watching for the first time or revisiting their favourite series, Sky Atlantic encourages viewers to share their thoughts and reactions online using the hashtag #12days1throne

The complete box set of Game of Thrones series one is also available for Sky and NOW TV customers to enjoy On Demand now.

The new, fifth series of Game of Thrones will premiere exclusively on Sky Atlantic in the UK and Ireland next Spring.

For those that don’t have Sky TV, but want to dip in and out, they can do so via a NOW TV Entertainment Month Pass. For £6.99 a month customers can stream Sky’s most popular channels, including Sky Atlantic, without a contract.
