Bill Simmons' partnership with HBO has spawned its first heir: a Game of Thrones after-show.

The weekly series, called After the Thrones, is set to debut the Monday after Game of Thrones' Season 6 premiere.

Podcasters Andy Greenwald and Chris Ryan, of Simmons' new content site The Ringer, will host the series, billed by HBO as a "lively, humorous and sophisticated" recap and discussion of the cable series.

IS THIS REAL LIFE

It will be available every week on HBO NOW, HBO GO and HBO On Demand, with the possibility of some episodes airing on the main HBO channel, the network said.

Talking Thrones is, of course, nothing new for Greenwald and Ryan. They previously delivered their commentary on the Watch the Thrones podcast over at now-deceased Grantland. They also host The Watch for The Ringer, the media company Simmons started after his May 2015exit from ESPN that spawned a wave of departures and Grantland's eventual shuttering.

Game of Thrones Season 6 premieres on HBO April 24.

Your pictures have never looked better.  But even though Apple has upped the ante in terms of hardware, it's highly unlikely you'll upload a picture to social media without slightly altering at least some part of it.  Luckily, there are some great alternatives to settling for those basic Instagram filters or sticking to the built-in camera tools. Because every single one of us needs all the "likes" we can get. And because #nofilter is no longer a thing.  Here are six of the best iPhone photo-editing apps to d

Despite Trump’s claims, Google isn’t building the coronavirus screening site — and it’s not ready

  In a press conference at the White House, President Trump today announced that 1,700 Google engineers were working on a coronavirus screening site. That site was supposedly the first step in a new screening process that would lead people from figuring out if their symptoms warranted more testing to the location of new “drive through” testing stations. But Trump was wrong. This screening site isn’t being developed by Google . Instead, it’s being built by Verily , Alphabet’s life science division — and it’s not ready to launch yet either. While both share the same parent company in Alphabet, these are two very different companies. In addition, as Verily noted in a statement it provided almost three hours after Trump made the announcement, this site isn’t quite ready yet. “Verily is developing a tool to help triage individuals for COVID-19 testing. We are in the early stages of development, and planning to roll testing out in the Bay Area, with the hope of expanding more
