Game of Thrones Season 7 to Premiere in Summer 2017
July 18, 2016
The Emmy- and Golden Globe-winning series Game of Thrones will begin shooting its next season later this summer, it was announced today by Casey Bloys, president, HBO programming.
Production of HBO‘s seven-episode Game of Thrones Season 7 will be based in Northern Ireland, while additional portions will be filmed in Spain and Iceland, with a debut slated for summer 2017 on HBO.
“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,” said Bloys. “Instead of the show’s traditional spring debut, we’re moving the debut to summer to accommodate the shooting schedule.”
