DESCRIPTION
Season 1 Summers span
decades. Winters can last a lifetime. And the struggle for the Iron Throne has
begun. It will stretch from the south, where heat breeds plots, lusts and
intrigues; to the vast and savage eastern lands; all the way to the frozen
north, where an 800-foot wall of ice protects the kingdom from the dark forces
that lie beyond. Kings and queens, knights and renegades, liars, lords and
honest men…all will play the ‘Game of Thrones.’ A new original series
based on George R.R. Martin's best-selling ‘A Song of Ice and Fire’
series.
Season 2 The Battle
continues in Westeros with feuding families and power hungry rulers. Five Kings
vie for a single, all-powerful throne in the all-new season of Game of
Thrones – an epic story of duplicity and treachery, nobility and honour,
conquest and triumph. Season 2 plays out against the backdrop of a
fast-approaching winter. In King's Landing, the coveted Iron Throne is
occupied by cruel young Joffrey, counseled by his conniving mother Cersei and
uncle Tyrion. But the Lannister hold on the Throne is under assault on many
fronts. There's Robb Stark, son of the slain Lord of Winterfell, Ned
Stark; Daenerys Targaryen, who looks to shore up her depleted power through
three newborn dragons; Stannis Baratheon, eldest brother of the late King Robert;
and Stannis' brother Renly, who has maintained his own claim since fleeing
King's Landing. In the meantime, a new leader is rising among the
wildlings North of the Wall, adding new perils for Jon Snow and the
Night's Watch. With tensions and treaties, animosity and alliances, Season
2 of Game of Thrones promises to be a thrilling journey through a
riveting, unforgettable landscape.
