Game of Thrones to air special 28-minute 'Day in the Life' documentary

The many, millions of fans of Game of Thrones worldwide won't have to wait until the spring to be reunited with their favourite characters – as the incredibly popular TV series has announced that a one-off special will debut next month.

Set to screen via HBO on February 8, the 28-minute featurette is titled A Day in the Life, and will provide a behind-the-scenes look at the show.

Season 5 of Game of Thrones, which is set to air in April, is expected to feature many new characters after a teaser appeared online last November. 

There isn't much by way of detail concerning the new short, HBO behind-the-scenes documentary set to air next month, but if previous Game of Thrones specials are anything to go by, the 28-minute one-off will provide die-hard fans with a glimpse at what to expect for the highly-anticipated new, and fifth series.
