Dubbed “The Iron Anniversary,” a month-long “GoT” celebration has been planned to mark the hit fantasy series’ April 17, 2011 TV debut.
The celebration will include a library of 150 videos which will be added to US streaming subscription service HBO Max.
These will comprise of interviews with the cast, behind-the-scenes videos, along with other clips and trailers.
A new “GoT”merchandise range is also being launched, which includes a range of Mikkeller hops beverages and a set of Funko Pop figures, as well as a bespoke Fabergé egg worth £1.6 million (Dhs8m).
It has been inspired by the dragon egg seen in the series.
Co-designed by the series’ Emmy Award-winning costume designer Michele Clapton and Faberge's head designer Liisa Tallgren, the “one-of-a-kind Imperial egg” draws on Daenerys Targaryen’s incredible journey.
HBO2 will also be airing a “GoT”marathon (or “MaraThrone”), in which every episode starting from season one will be re-aired, beginning April 10.
While “Thrones”came to an end with the close of its eighth season back in May 2019, there are currently three spin-off series in the works, the first of which is called “9 Voyages.”
