Season 5 of Game of Thrones was commissioned by HBO on 8 April 2014, following a substantial increase in audience figures between the third and fourth seasons.[2] The fifth and sixth seasons were commissioned simultaneously, the first time HBO has commissioned two seasons at once for a major drama series.
The season consists of ten episodes. It began filming in July 2014 and concluded on 12 December 2014.[3][4] David Benioff and D.B. Weiss return as executive producers and showrunners for both seasons five and six, having signed a new two-year contract with HBO in early 2014. The season is expected to premiere in April 2015.
Season 5 will be based mostly on the fourth and fifth novels of the A Song of Ice and Fire book series, which are titled A Feast for Crows and A Dance with Dragons, respectively. The storylines of the two books run concurrently but follow different sets of characters.
