Game of Thrones Season 6 episode 3 “Oathbreaker” airs May 8 at 9 p.m. on HBO.
The third episode in the latest season of Game of Thrones promises to be epochal, the first since the return of Jon Snow. But the official episode description is playing it awfully coy:
“Daenerys (Emilia Clarke) meets her future. Bran meets the past. Tommen confronts the High Sparrow (Jonathan Pryce). Arya (Maisie Williams) trains to be No One. Varys (Conleth Hill) finds an answer. Ramsay gets a gift.”
The preview is a little more revealing:
Not only will “Oathbreaker” grapple with Jon Snow’s return, but will also explain his parentage with a flashback to the Tower of Joy.
So how can you watch it without cable? With HBO spreading the Game of Thrones gospel far and wide, there are plenty of options.
HBO Now
UPDATE: Game of Thrones Season 6 Episode 3 "Oathbreaker" is up now.
HBO Now is the newer of their two streaming services. It gives you access to all their shows and tons of movies. Though HBO Now is $14.99 per month, it’s pretty convenient for cheapskates just looking for a Game of Thrones fix, since you get a 30-day free trial when you sign up through the Apple App Store, Google Play Store, Amazon or your Roku.
HBO Go
This other option is a little harder to obtain without an existing HBO subscription. Providing many of the same features as HBO Now, Go lets you stream every episode of Game of Thrones, the newest shortly after air.
New Game of Thrones episodes become available for streaming an hour after the premiere, starting as soon as the end of the live broadcast. At least, that’s the official line; Game of Thrones has typically been available before that interminable hour is up.
Winter is coming and so is the next episode of Game of Thrones Season 6. So pour yourself a glass of wine and wait it out like Tyrion.
