HBO's Game of Thrones phenomenon is about to enter its fifth season, returning April 12 exclusively in The Bahamas on Cable Bahamas' REVTV digital television service.

For those that have heard so much about the Emmy Award-winning series but haven't yet indulged in the fascinating fantasy universe, REVTV and HBO are bringing the first two seasons for free to any REVTV digital subscriber via video on demand.

Cable Bahamas REVTV Manager Teneile Simmons said that non-HBO subscribers now have the opportunity to join in on the Game of Thrones craze with HBO Free Pass on 500 REVTV On Demand.

Beginning Sunday, March 22, non-HBO subscribers can access HBO Free Pass to enjoy the entire first two seasons of Game of Thrones, at no added cost.

REVTV cable TV subscribers can access HBO Free Pass by pressing the orange "on demand" button on the cable remote control or by tuning to channel 500.

"HBO Free Pass is giving people who aren't familiar with Game of Thrones an opportunity to test it out for free," Simmons said.

"We're very excited to be able to offer this content to all of our REVTV subscribers and hope that, as a result, we will see even more of our customers signing up for HBO to receive full access to Game of Thrones via HBO and HBO On Demand."

HBO On Demand provides all HBO subscribers with unlimited access to the entire HBO On Demand library - currently more than 260 titles, including 40 episodes of Game of Thrones - at no additional cost.

The service includes original HBO series, movies, documentaries and special events."Game of Thrones has a huge following internationally and we know that it's very popular in The Bahamas as well," Simmons said.

"We have the complete four seasons of Game of Thrones on HBO On Demand and we know that a lot of persons are binge-watching to catch up on all the previous episodes to be ready when the new season arrives."

HBO has revealed that the all-new fifth season of Game of Thrones will comprise 10 episodes.

Fans of the series can expect more treachery, triumph and carnage than ever before as Game of Thrones producers have confirmed that the upcoming season is the show's most shocking yet.

Simmons said the company is thrilled to continue its longstanding partnership with HBO to bring Bahamian viewers another exciting season of Game of Thrones.

She noted that Game of Thrones is a global phenomenon and said it is rewarding to offer the series in The Bahamas, where the show has amassed a considerable fan base.
