I subscribed to watch GOT last week but all series will stop on 31st May?? Will they be coming back or will they not be shown on Now TV again?
Solved! Go to Solution.

Hi @Anonymous User
It's all down to money, the longer these top TV shows are available on any streaming service the more money the Rights Holder will demand.
Going by previous years with Game of Thrones i would suspect it will be back later this year around about December time.
Would suggest that you sign up to Sky Never Miss service (which is free) where you will get an email confirmation when TV shows that you are interested in returns back on the Sky / NowTV service.
Here's a link to Sky Never Miss if you want to sign up.

Too popular not to come back, I think, but it might not be very soon...

Seems stupid it’s not permanently availible

This is purely down to the contract deal between HBO and Sky.
They are only to keep content for certain periods of time. The shows will most likely return at some point.

Programmes and series come and go on NowTV, so whatever time you join, there will be stuff expiring before you have had time to watch it.
This is particularly frustrating if you join just after GoT has finished, planning to watch the whole thing, and find that it will require 8 hours days to achieve that; but GoT has been here since 1st March, so an episode a day, most days, would have covered it if you had started then.
However, no doubt it will be back, though the issue is when, which you can monitor as in @schnapps posting above, and consume on a less punishing schedule then.

They should maybe stop advertising to binge watch the entire series then
