'Game of Thrones' season 5 updates: premiere date in April, season 4 finale episodes to be shown on IMAX this month

People over at the "Game of Thrones" want fans to "send a raven and spread the word." Indeed, fans have now been enlightened about the return of their favorite HBO original hit series to their television screens. Three more months of waiting and all the sword-wielding, constant threatening and unlikely romancing will all disembark. Viewers in the U.K. can gear up for the debut of the whole new chapter on April 13 on cable network Sky Atlantic. Fans in the U.S. can tune in to HBO on April 12 to continue the journey. 

HBO will be first to air all of the 10 episodes of the season. Sky Atlantic will follow. Viewers subscribed to Sky's Now TV online service can also catch the new episodes there. CNET suggests that faithfuls of the show based on the novels of bestselling author George R. R. Martin refresh everything by watching all four seasons of the show on the same online service. 

While they idle away the hours, European fans can opt to take a trip to either London, Stockholm, Tel Aviv, Madrid, Berlin, Amsterdam or Paris by February for an all-new "Game of Thrones" exhibition. The affair will be graced by 70 original artifacts from the set. As fans walk the halls, they may catch a few spoilers for the upcoming season as well. 

U.S. fans, on the other hand, can prepare for winter by watching two episodes from fourth season of the series on a much bigger screen, an IMAX. From Jan. 23 to 29, the penultimate and finale episode of the fourth season will be shown on 150 theaters in the U.S. This is the first time IMAX will screen a television show so "GoT" aficionados should prepare to witness the Battle of Castle Black in a whole lot bigger display. 

Last month, a four-second clip was released online and in the limited frames, fans were already wound up to see main characters like Jon Snow, Arya Stark and Cersai Lannister.
