GameOfThronesSeason5PremiereBannerFor the second consecutive year, Facebook will present the live stream for the premiere of HBO drama series Game of Thrones.

This year’s premiere will be held at the War Memorial Opera House in San Francisco March 23. The social network live-streamed the red carpet from the fourth-season premiere at New York’s Lincoln Center last March.

According to The Wrap, Game of Thrones fans who visit the show’s Facebook page will be able to see stars including Peter Dinklage, Emilia Clarke, Maisie Williams and Keisha Castle-Hughes walk the red carpet, answer questions submitted via Facebook and Instagram and pose for photos at an Instagram photo studio.

HBO corporate affairs spokeswoman Janine McGoldrick told The Wrap

Streaming directly to Facebook gives us an opportunity to engage the millions of fans who have connected with the Game of Thrones page, giving them a way actively participate in the fun and excitement of the event with their friends.
