Obama Will Get Advance Episodes of Game of Thrones

Being president has its perks: Barack Obama will get advance episodes of Game of Thrones.

During HBO's Facebook livestream of the Game of Thrones premiere's red carpet on Sunday, showrunners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss confirmed reports that POTUS will get to watch the hit show before any of us plebeians.

"When the commander-in-chief says, 'I want to see advanced episodes,' what are you gonna do?" Benioff said.

In an unprecedented move, HBO decided not to send out any screeners to journalists or industry insiders for the upcoming sixth season to maintain utmost secrecy. However, according to Thrones star Liam Cunningham, Obama receives copies of the episodes even before the cast does.

"He gets DVD copies before we do. And we're in it!" Davos told Vulturelast month.

Game of Thrones premieres Sunday, April 24 at 9/8c on HBO.
