'A Storm of Swords' HBO's Game of Thrones Returns with Season 3 Same Time as the US Exclusively on OSN
Dubai, UAE, March 26, 2013: The multi-award winning hit series Game of Thrones returns exclusively to OSN First HD on Monday, 1st April at 22:00 KSA at the same time as the US so viewers see it first only on OSN. The highly anticipated third season that promises to be even more epic than the first is guaranteed to satisfy fans with plenty of action, new cast members and old favourites.
With 8 Emmys, a Golden Globe plus numerous other awards, the adventure fantasy series is based on George R. R. Martin’s novel series ‘A Song of Ice and Fire’, the first of which is called ‘Game of Thrones.’
While Season 2 was based solely on ‘A Clash of Kings’, the next instalment of Martin’s series, ‘A Storm of Swords’, will be split into two seasons. Season 3 will have a host of new characters to look forward to – Olenna Tyrell played by Diana Rigg (The Avengers TV show) also known as The Queen of Thorns, Mackenzie Crook (The Office) as a wildling called Orell, Paul Kaye, (Dennis the Pennis) will play Thoros of Myr, and Clive Russell (The Bill and Sherlock Holmes) will play Brynden ‘Blackfish’ Tully.
The series is a true spectacle, an engrossing, ground-breaking fable that will bring a new level of realism to the fantasy genre that will surprise and captivate audiences. OSN viewers will undoubtedly fall to their knees praising the genius of Martin and HBO producers with the epic new season. Tune in exclusively on OSN First HD from 1st April at 22:00 KSA and watch the plot unfold at the same time as the US.
