“As evidenced by the
over-the-top reaction to last season’s notorious ‘Red Wedding,’ the
record-breaking viewership numbers for pay television in Canada and the
huge turnout for the last two instalments of the exhibition in Toronto, Game of Thrones
fans are a dedicated and passionate lot,” Catherine MacLeod, senior
vice-president of specialty channels for Bell Media, said in a news
release.

the Lightbox May 14 to 18. It will also makes stops at the Pacific
