Singapore – Starting with the new season of Game Of Thrones, viewers in Asia can watch HBO and CINEMAX Originals¹ the same time as viewers in the U.S. On April 13, subscribers in Asia can catch the worldwide premiere of three new seasons of HBO Original series – Game Of Thrones, Silicon Valley and Veep as they debut back-to-back and simultaneously as the U.S. from 9am (8am Thai.Jkt) with primetime encores from 9pm (8pm Thai.Jkt) the same day on HBO / HBO HD.

“The wait is over. Subscribers in Asia will now have the choice to watch their favourite HBO and CINEMAX Originals¹ the same time as the U.S. or during the primetime telecast that same evening. Or if they prefer, via broadband streaming anytime, anywhere on HBO GO² or our on-demand service, HBO ON DEMAND²,” said Jonathan Spink, CEO, HBO Asia. “The simultaneous airing of new seasons and brand-new Original programs as the U.S. will help with our continued fight against piracy and end the angst of reading about show spoilers on social media.”

HBO Original programmes¹ that will premiere the same time as the U.S. on HBO / HBO HD include the new seasons of the Emmy^®-winning True Detective, with Vince Vaughn, Colin Farrell and Rachel McAdams; The Leftovers, starring Justin Theroux and Liv Tyler; and Getting On, the offbeat comedy that follows the dysfunctional staffers at a female-geriatric ward; as well as highly-anticipated upcoming new HBO Original programmes like Westworld, a drama series starring Anthony Hopkins, Ed Harris and Evan Rachel Wood; The Brink, the dark comedy series starring Jack Black and Tim Robbins; and HBO Films’ Bessie, starring Queen Latifah.
