Creating the gargantuan hit that is Game of Thrones gives you a certain privilege in the TV studio boardroom, certainly.
Game of Thrones airs on HBO every Sunday and is simulcast in the UK on Sky Atlantic every Monday at 2am.
Benioff and Weiss will be showrunners on the series, collaborating with Nichelle Tramble Spellman (The Good Wife) and Malcolm Spellman (Empire), who will be executive producers and writers.
The episode is then repeated that night on both Sky Atlantic and NOW TV.
