Fans of HBO’s original programming finally found out when their favorite shows would be returning for new seasons.  Game of Thrones, Silicon Valley and Veep will all return on Sunday, April 24th at 9pm (ET/PT).

Right now I only watch Game of Thrones — many thanks to my fiance for convincing me to give it a chance.  GoT is now one of the shows I look forward to each Spring.  I’ve heard nothing but good things regarding Silicon Valley and Veep.  In fact, they both look like television shows I’d enjoy.  Thanks to the magic that is HBO Go, I’ll always have the opportunity to binge-watch previous seasons to get caught up.
