The seventh and penultimate season of the fantasydrama television series Game of Thrones premiered on HBO on July 16, 2017, and concluded on August 27, 2017.[1][2][3] Unlike previous seasons, which consisted of ten episodes each, the seventh season consisted of only seven episodes.[4] Like the previous season, it largely consisted of original content not found in George R. R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire series, while also incorporating material that Martin revealed to showrunners about the upcoming novels in the series.[5][better source needed] The series was adapted for television by David Benioff and D. B. Weiss.
The penultimate season focuses primarily on the convergence of the show's main plotlines in preparation for the final season. Daenerys Targaryen arrives in Westeros with her army and three dragons and begins to wage war against the Lannisters while Jon Snow continues his efforts to find ways to defeat the Army of the Dead. He forges an alliance with Daenerys in an attempt to unite their forces against the White Walker army.

Filming began on August 31, 2016, at Titanic Studios in Belfast,[39] and ended in February 2017.[40][41][42] In an interview with the showrunners, it was announced that the filming of the seventh season would be delayed until later in the year due to necessary weather conditions for filming. The showrunners stated 'We're starting a bit later because, you know, at the end of this season, winter is here, and that means that sunny weather doesn't really serve our purposes any more. We kind of pushed everything down the line so we could get some grim, gray weather even in the sunnier places that we shoot.'[43] Girona, Spain, did not return as one of the filming locations.[44] Girona stood in for Braavos and parts of King's Landing.[44] It was later announced that the seventh season would film in Northern Ireland, Spain and Iceland, with filming in Northern Ireland beginning in August 2016.[4][40] The series filmed in the Spanish cities Seville, Cáceres, Almodóvar del Río, Santiponce, Zumaia and Bermeo.[45] Spanish sources announced that the series would be filming the seventh season on Muriola Beach in Barrika, Las Atarazanas, the Royal Dockyards of Seville and at the shores of San Juan de Gaztelugatxe, an islet belonging to the city of Bermeo.[46][47][48] The series returned to film at The Dark Hedges in Stranocum, which was previously used as the Kingsroad in the second season.[49] Some scenes were filmed in Iceland.[50] Filming also occurred in Dubrovnik, Croatia, which is used for location of King's Landing.[51] The scene where Arya was reunited with Nymeria was filmed in Alberta, Canada.[52] Casting[edit]Deadline reported on June 21, 2016, that the five main cast members, Peter Dinklage, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, Lena Headey, Emilia Clarke, and Kit Harington had been in contract negotiations for the final two seasons. It was reported that the cast members have increased their salary to $500,000 per episode for the seventh and eighth season.[53][54] It was later reported that the actors had gone through a renegotiation, for which they had increased their salary to $1.1 million per episode for the last two seasons.[55] On August 31, 2016, Entertainment Weekly reported that Jim Broadbent had been cast for the seventh season in a 'significant' role.[31] It was announced that the role of Dickon Tarly has been recast, with Tom Hopper replacing Freddie Stroma, who had previously played the role in 'Blood of My Blood'.[29] The seventh season sees the return of Mark Gatiss as Tycho Nestoris, who did not appear in the sixth season,[30]Ben Hawkey as Hot Pie, who last appeared in the fourth season, and Joe Dempsie as Gendry, who last appeared in the third season and maintains his status as starring cast member.

The eighth and final season of Game of Thrones is over, after endless headlines, theories and much speculation. The series finale aired on May 19, and torched HBO rating records much as Drogon torched the Iron throne. (Too soon?) Not everyone is a fan of the newest ruler of the Six Kingdoms (no longer Seven because Sansa pulled a Brexit). And some thought a certain queen's madness came a little too quickly to be believed. But at least we finally got Jon Snow giving Ghost his who's-a-good-boy scritches. The show, based of course on George R.R. Martin's book series A Song of Ice and Fire, began eight years ago, and that's forever in TV time. The youngest actors literally have grown up with the show, especially Arya, Bran and Sansa. Where's that book?Fans who don't know what they'll do after the series has ended can't even console themselves with Winds of Winter, the next George R.R. Martin book in the saga, because ha ha ha boo hoo hoo. But the book, like winter, is coming. Just before Thanksgiving 2018, Martin told The Wall Street Journal he was at a remote mountain cabin where he goes to 'hunker down' and write, and that he's 'hard at work' on Winds of Winter. He wouldn't give spoilers, but he said he had a master plan, despite the events of the TV show. 'I'm still going to finish it the way I always wanted to finish it, the way it's been in my head for 25 years now,' Martin said. Martin also spoke up about Winds of Winter in August 2018. Then, he noted some people have died on screen who won't die in the books. (Margaery? Hodor? Shireen? We can dream...) Despite what Martin said, he's not adverse to killing major characters on the page too -- and blames J.R.R. Tolkien's Gandalf, of all people. How to rewatchDownload Game Of Thrones Season 7 Episode 5 Just After Talicast CastMore Game of ThronesTo rewatch the final season, you'll need a subscription to HBO (or a friend with one), but if you don't have cable, you can pay for HBO Now, a streaming subscription version of HBO that doesn't require a regular cable subscription (or even a TV). Not sure you'll like it? You can stream HBO Now free for 30 days. And you can catch up on past seasons via HBO, Blu-ray, DVD and 4K Ultra Blu-ray. Past seasons are also available on Hulu with an HBO Premium Add-on. Meet the castHere's a list of the major cast members who survived to the final season. Spoiler: Not all of their characters were still breathing when the final credits rolled. See the setsEven though the show has ended, fans will be able to relive the terrors and triumphs of Westeros by visiting the Game of Thrones sets in Northern Ireland. HBO isn't confirming a lot of details for what will be called the Game of Thrones Legacy attractions, but the sets for Winterfell, Castle Black and King's Landing could be included, and costumes, props, weapons and other items will be on display. What's up with the GOT spinoffs?George R.R. Martin doesn't want to call them spinoffs, but HBO is working on as many as five 'successor shows' taking place in the Game of Thrones universe. Martin has said fans should not look for any familiar faces, as all of the new shows will take place before the time period depicted in Game of Thrones. It's not yet known if all, or how many, of the shows will actually make it to air.

But one has definitely advanced more than others. Martin called it The Long Night, then had to say that's not the official title (but if we had to guess... it is). It looks to be about the mysterious Children of the Forest -- check out our guide to what we know so far. In May, British tabloid The Sun announced filming has begun, and has the working title 'Bloodmoon.' We also know Naomi Watts has been cast as a 'socialite with a secret,' and Josh Whitehouse also has a role. Need some more background? In June 2018, Deadline reported that HBO ordered this pilot from writer Jane Goldman, who's known for the Kingsman movie series, as well as Stardust, Kick-Ass and two X-Men blockbusters. It'll be set thousands of years before Game of Thrones, and HBO delivered a fairly generic plot summary, except for that bit about the White Walkers. 'The series chronicles the world's descent from the golden age of heroes into its darkest hour,' the network revealed. 'And only one thing is for sure: From the horrifying secrets of Westeros' history to the true origin of the White Walkers, the mysteries of the East to the Starks of legend ... it's not the story we think we know.' Martin says 'some (of the successor shows) may not even be set on Westeros.' We do know what won't be covered: no Robert's Rebellion and no Dunk and Egg. Robert's Rebellion refers to Ned Stark, Robert Baratheon and Jon Arryn's rebellion against House Targaryen, and Dunk and Egg are other Martin characters, a hedge knight and his squire, who have their own stories taking place a century before the current books. Martin said when he's done writing all his tales of Dunk and Egg, he'd love for them to have a show, and that Robert's Rebellion will be explained in the current book series when (if... ) he finishes.
