Streaming on Foxtel Anytime in October

A host of HBO hits returns to Foxtel Anytime including Game of Thrones s.1-6,
Girls s. 1-5, Veep s. 1-5 and True Blood s. 1-7 along with Hollywood favourites Daddy’s Home, The Heart of the Sea, Joy and more

Foxtel today announced the October line up of complete seasons that will join the hit shows already streaming on Foxtel Anytime^ headlined by a collection of HBO hits that are returning to Foxtel screens.

In the wake of its record breaking Emmy Awards milestone, the worldwide phenomenon, Game of Thrones (seasons 1-6) returns to stream on Foxtel Anytime. Based on the best-selling novels by George R.R. Martin, Game of Thrones tells the story of powerful families playing a deadly game for control of the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros set against a world touched by dragons, kings, queens, heroes, villains and the growing threat of the mysterious White Walkers.

Season 6 of Game of Thrones shattered viewership records on Foxtel with the full season enjoying a cumulative average audience of more than 1.2 million viewers per episode – the most watched scripted series on Foxtel, ever.

HBO’s hilariously off-beat political comedy Veep, starring Julia Louise-Dreyfus also took home Emmy accolades and returns to Foxtel Anytime in October. Louise-Dreyfus stars as a former senator turned Vice President of the US offering subscribers a tongue-in-cheek look at US politics.

Girls follows an aspiring 20-something writer and her friends as they try to make sense of their lives in the fast-paced hustle of New York City; while True Blood brings vampires out of the shadows in small town Louisiana as they try and join mainstream society despite their natural thirst for blood.

Foxtel’s Lifestyle FOOD serves up every episode of The Great Australian Bake Off, season 1 on Foxtel Anytime with new episodes from season 2 joining in line with the season’s broadcast starting in October.

Foxtel Anytime’s key movies in October include the side-splitting comedy, Daddy’s Home with Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg; the ocean-going saga of man vs. nature, The Heart of the Sea, starring Chris Hemsworth; and incredible true story, Joy that centres of the life of a woman (Jennifer Lawrence) who founds a business dynasty and thrives despite betrayal and treachery from those around her.
