It will be available every week on HBO NOW, HBO GO and HBO On Demand, with the possibility of some episodes airing on the main HBO channel, the network said.
Talking Thrones is, of course, nothing new for Greenwald and Ryan. They previously delivered their commentary on the Watch the Thrones podcast over at now-deceased Grantland. They also host The Watch for The Ringer, the media company Simmons started after his May 2015 exit from ESPN that spawned a wave of departures and Grantland's eventual shuttering.
Game of Thrones Season 6 premieres on HBO April 24.
