HBO’s Game of Thrones season five continues to pull in huge ratings since its premiere on April 12, 2015 when a record 18 million viewers tuned in (Linear Plays + Live+7 DVR + HBO On Demand/HBO GO + HBO NOW). This season follows Aria as she learns how to become No One, Jon Snow as he takes over command of the Wall, and the bitter battle between Queens Cersei and Margaery escalates. It also follows Dany’s uneasy rule of Meereen, Sansa’s return to Winterfell, and Tyrion’s journey to meet the Mother of Dragons.
