Why has Games of Thrones season 1,2,3,4,5 gone from nowtv?
I'm no longer able to view it!
Hi @Anonymous User
game of thrones has gone due to content rights. NowTV are only allowed to have content available for a certain amount of time, after which they must remove the content. Due to the agreements they have with content rights holders in the case of game of thrones, the rights holders are HBO. HBO content is also some of the most expensive content around, especially game of thrones, so even if NowTV could keep it. The cost of keeping it would probably become prohibitive after a certain point, which means it could only be kept at the expense of losing other content.
The slightly better news is the game of thrones box sets will probably be back in February/March next year just before season seven starts
It has been known for a long time that the expiry date of the game of thrones box sets was June 13 most devices show the expiry date of content and if content is going to expire within the next 30 days. You will see an expiry countdown on all devices and also the now TV website. I myself warned people over three weeks ago that the box sets where going to expire

Are you able to confirm that the Game Of Thrones box set will be back on NowTV soon since you said that "box sets will probably be back in February/March next year just before season seven starts"?
Thanks

I'm afraid it's unlikely. The "probably" was based on the new seasons previously starting in April. This year it will not be starting again in April but in July.
Hi all
Game of thrones box sets should be coming back in May. When they do come back, though I wouldn't necessarily expect unavailability length of any longer than 90 days based on what happened in previous years, although you might get longer than that on some of the earlier seasons (1 and 2).

Wouldn't it make sense though if these platforms, such as nowtv, communicate about their license periods...

Very disapointed.
Was only interested in Walking dead and Game of thrones box sets so will cancel subscription and go look elsewhere
Would have thought these would be popular viewing
