HBO

Game of Thrones production requires long enough lead that by the time we’re watching a season, the cast is already headed back to work. The final six episodes may be a different story, but one star says they’re headed back to work soon, which could pinpoint a 2018 premiere.

Game of Thrones knows how much its fans will analyze and decode every production detail, and occasionally saves us the trouble. Get a closer look at all the written props this week, revealing the extent of Jorah’s love for Dany, and a greyscale cure that involves … olive oil?

It’s almost impossible to watch Game of Thrones without going through a range of emotions. One minute you’re on the edge of your seat, heart rate through the roof, and the next you’re sobbing over a character’s death. The HBO series is filled with so much blood and backstabbing that it’s easy to focus on its goriest and most devastating moments. But what about the feel good ones? What about the times Game of Thrones made you cheer with glee, stand up and clap, or tear up with joy? Those are the ones we love most.

Theories that are dead may never die, and Game of Thrones fans will cling to some possibilities long after the show passes them by. One such fan is none other than George R.R. Martin himself, who thinks HBO erred in leaving out Catelyn Stark’s famously stone-hearted return.

Difficult news today for True Blood fans and beyond, as beloved star Nelsan Ellis has tragically passed away at a young age. The Julliard-trained actor had appeared in everything from The Help to CBS’ Elementary.

Just under a month from its premiere, Game of Thrones blessed us with a second Season 7 trailer, placing the Night King front and center for the Great War to come. Just like last time, we couldn’t help diving deeper into every frame of footage.

We’ve finally passed the one-month mark for Game of Thrones Season 7, so it’s high-time we had a new trailer. The Night King shows his ugly mug once again, as all-out dragon warfare erupts in the new Season 7 trailer and posters!

Considering Game of Thrones racks up records for setting stuntmen ablaze, it’s safe to say there’s a fair amount of death in Westeros. So much so, in fact, that some mad genius compiled footage of the whopping 150,000+ lost lives over the course of six seasons. Might want to get a poncho ready.

It wasn’t enough of Game of Thrones Season 7 to set more stuntmen than ever on fire; it’s time to see how they do it. Go behind the scenes of the new season’s pyrotechnic and visual effects, previewing some key battles sequences to come.

Game of Thrones Season 7 isn’t likely to garner complaints of extended runtime, especially with thirteen hours left overall. Still, there’s good reason to suspect that HBO’s flagship drama will be cramming episodes to the gills, as the July 16 premiere runtime is one of its longest yet.

This week, the whole dang internet started it's obsession with "The Keepers". However, another documentary was released by HBO May 15th called "Mommy Dead and Dearest" that is deserving of the hype machine as well. This documentary will look and feel very familiar to those of us in South Louisiana, because it's all about the Blanchard family, and their seriously twisted and tragic story of Child Abuse, mental illness, and forbidden love.

Game of Thrones is debuting later in the year than ever, but that doesn’t dampen our excitement for the first official Season 7 trailer one bit. Watch the world of Westeros get a little colder, even as the Great War heats up in the penultimate season’s first official trailer.

Game of Thrones Season 7 spoilers are something of a contradiction, in that very little need be preserved of George R.R. Martin’s unpublished books, yet the series now has its own story to protect. And protect it will, as star Nathalie Emmanuel reveals the elaborate lengths through which cast were asked to protect Season 7 scripts.

Game of Thrones Season 7 isn’t quite under the same secrecy veil as last year, but isn’t about to plant major spoilers with its first photos, either. Nonetheless, at least one shot teases a major prophecy coming to the forefront, and a mad Game of Thrones fan naturally transcribed it for you.

Baton Rouge native Louis Herthum has been moved to series regular for the second season of the hit HBO show Westworld.

Game of Thrones understandably has to build hype year after year, especially when a penultimate season keeps fans waiting later than usual. Bless their hearts, HBO even tried to make Season 7’s premiere reveal special with a giant block of ice, though star Nikolaj Coster-Waldau says producers found the failed stunt “embarrassing.”

Game of Thrones fans never lack for dragon appreciation, but there are diminishing returns to their escalation in size, and difficulty to portray onscreen. Leave it to Season 7 to make them even bigger, now estimating Drogon, Viserion and Rhaegal to be the size of commercial jets.

It’s taken this long for Game of Thrones to confirm a Season 7 premiere, and lips might finally now be loosening. Straight out of SXSW, Thrones bosses David Benioff and Dan Weiss confirm an even shorter episode order for the eighth and final season.

Back in August it was confirmed that British actor Jim Broadbent was named as a major addition to the cast of Game of Thrones Season 7. He was said to be joining the production in a “significant” role, but this being the most top secret TV show of all, we of course learned nothing else about his character, until today. The beloved British character actor, best known for his roles in everything from the Harry Potter films to Moulin Rouge! and Bridget Jones, has revealed to ScreenCrush who he’s playing with some new details.

Torturous as it is that Game of Thrones Season 7 won’t join its predecessors with a spring premiere, the shortened episode count should only push the HBO drama so far out of its usual home. Now, star Liam Cunningham suggests HBO is looking at a July premiere, with production resuming in late summer.
