‘Game Of Thrones’ Won’t Be Back Until Summer 2017

The wait for “Game of Thrones'” Season 7 may feel
like longer than the wait for winter.

On Monday, HBO confirmed that shooting on Season 7 was set
to begin later than usual, meaning the show won’t be back until summer 2017.

Additionally, HBO confirmed that Season 7 will be made up of
just seven episodes, down three from the show’s usual 10, a move which fans expected.

“Now that winter has arrived on ‘Game of Thrones,’ executive producers David Benioff and D.B. Weiss felt that the storylines of the next season would be better served by starting production a little later than usual, when the weather is changing,” HBO programming president Casey Bloys said in a statement. “Instead of the show’s traditional spring debut, we’re moving the debut to summer to accommodate the shooting schedule.”

The show will shoot in Northern Ireland, its home base, as well as Sevilla, Caceres, Almodovar del Rio, Santiponce, Zumaia and Bermeo, Spain.
