Season 7

Season 7 of Game of Thrones was announced by HBO on 21 April 2016. In contrast to previous seasons, the seventh season will reportedly consist of less than ten episodes, due to the smaller amount of story content remaining.

Like the sixth season, Season 7 will be based on an outline of the two final, presently-unpublished novels in George R. R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire series, The Winds of Winter and A Dream of Spring. Filming will commence in the second half of 2016 for a Spring 2017 release.
