Here’s some news I’m rather pleased about! A day after Game of Thrones (which is based on the book by George R.R. Martin) aired in the UK on Sky Atlantic, and two days after it appeared on HBO in the US, it has been renewed for a second season.

The news comes from Entertainment Weekly who think the second season will continue the book series and be based on Martin’s second book in the Song of Ice and Fire series called A Clash of Kings.

You can read our 5* review of the first couple of episodes here. Becky wrote it but everything she says I agree with, if you missed episode one yesterday, grab it on catch up as soon as you can!
