The Game of Thrones is a fantasy drama based on the books of George R.R Martin and is well known for its gory death scenes, complete with violent stabbings and bloodbaths.
Over six seasons, the dense fantasy saga, based on novels by George R.R. Martin, evolved from a big ticket gamble into one of the most celebrated pop culture franchises in the world. The series, with an average of 10.6 million viewers per episode in Season 6, has become the most watched ever for HBO. (The network says actual viewing is more than twice that number when alternate platforms are included.)
Just In! Game of Thrones season 7 will arrive on July 16, 2017!
In a memorably misguided marketing gimmick, HBO revealed the premiere date in a Facebook Live video but made fans work for it, concealing the information in a block of ice and asking viewers to comment “Fire” as a torch heated it.
The announcement of the Season 7 premiere date is bittersweet for fans, who are eager for the show’s return but aware that it will be the beginning of the end. The creators David Benioff and D.B. Weiss have confirmed that there will only be 13 more episodes of the show, split over two abbreviated seasons — seven this year, six in 2018. The first six seasons had 10 episodes each.
