At the Twins, Arya, disguised as Walder Frey, poisons the remaining lords of House Frey. The White Walkers march toward the Wall, where Tollett allows Bran and Meera to enter. At Winterfell, despite Sansa's objection, Jon secures the loyalties of the new heads of Houses Umber and Karstark, whose previous leaders fought alongside Ramsay in the Battle of the Bastards. At the Citadel, Samwell secretly borrows library books. One reveals a large deposit of dragonglass in Dragonstone and he sends word to Jon. Sam later finds Ser Jorah, now heavily infected with greyscale, quarantined in a cell. In the Riverlands, Arya meets some friendly Lannister soldiers who consider her declared intention to kill Cersei as a joke. Thoros shows Sandor Clegane a vision of the Wall and the marching Army of the Dead. The revelation leads him to believe in the Lord of Light. In King's Landing, Jaime tells Cersei that allies are crucially needed. She receives Euron, who proposes marriage in exchange for his Iron Fleet and an opportunity to kill Theon and Yara. Cersei declines, citing trust concerns, so Euron promises to return with a 'gift' to prove his loyalty. Daenerys arrives at Dragonstone, the home of House Targaryen, previously occupied by Stannis Baratheon, with her army and dragons.

Following Tyrion's advice, Daenerys allows Jon to mine the island's dragonglass. Melisandre avoids Jon and departs for Volantis. Bran, with Meera, arrives at Winterfell and reveals his newfound-identity as the Three-Eyed Raven to Sansa. In King's Landing, Euron presents Ellaria and Tyene as a gift for Cersei, who promises him marriage after the war is won. She also awards him co-control of her military, alongside Jaime. Cersei administers the same poison to Tyene that killed Myrcella, forcing Ellaria to watch her daughter's impending death and remain imprisoned with the body. In Oldtown, a healed Jorah leaves to find Daenerys. Ebrose praises Samwell's skill in saving Jorah but makes him copy old texts for his disobedience. Grey Worm and the Unsullied attack Casterly Rock, only to find that Jaime has led the bulk of the Lannister forces in an attack on Highgarden, while Euron's fleet ambushes and destroys the Unsullied's ships. The Lannister forces quickly overwhelm Olenna Tyrell's army. Jaime offers Olenna a quick and painless death by poison. After drinking it, she admits to poisoning Joffrey.

Arya returns to Winterfell and is reunited with Sansa and Bran. She later spars with Brienne, impressing her and unnerving Sansa with her exceptional fighting skills. Bran bids Meera an unemotional farewell as she prepares to head home, divulging he is no longer the boy she accompanied through the North. Littlefinger presents Bran with the Valyrian steel dagger his would-be assassin used. Bran later gives it to Arya. Cersei assures the Iron Bank a full repayment of her debt as a wagon train carrying gold from Highgarden travels to King's Landing. In a cave filled with dragonglass, Jon reveals ancient wall paintings to Daenerys depicting the First Men and the Children of the Forest joining forces against the undead. Later, Daenerys learns that the attack on Casterly Rock was a diversion and Lannister forces have captured Highgarden. Ignoring Tyrion's protests, Daenerys rides Drogon as the Dothraki cavalry launches a surprise attack on the Lannister army, decimating it and capturing its remaining forces.

Davos rendezvous with Gendry and returns him to Dragonstone. With the Citadel ignoring Wolkan's letter, Samwell steals several restricted books and leaves the Citadel with Gilly and Little Sam. At Winterfell, Littlefinger, knowing Arya is spying on him, lures her into finding the letter that Sansa was forced to write as a hostage in King's Landing. Jon, Jorah, and Gendry, joined by Clegane, Thoros, Beric, and a group of the Free Folk led by Tormund, leave Eastwatch and pass beyond the Wall to capture a wight.
666'Beyond the Wall'Alan TaylorDavid Benioff & D. B. WeissAugust 20, 201710.24[13]
At Winterfell, Littlefinger plots to isolate Sansa. Tensions between Arya and Sansa increase following Arya's discovery of the letter Sansa was forced to write, begging for Robb's fealty to Joffrey. Sansa, in turn, finds Arya's collection of faces she took from Braavos. At Dragonstone, Tyrion counsels Daenerys about the upcoming negotiations with Cersei. Beyond the Wall, Jon and the men hunt for a wight to prove the White Walkers' existence. After capturing one, the group is beset by the White Walker army. Jon sends Gendry to Eastwatch to dispatch a raven to Daenerys requesting help. During the night, an injured Thoros freezes to death. As the wight army is about to overwhelm Jon's group, Daenerys arrives with her dragons and rescues the men. The Night King, leader of the White Walkers, kills Viserion, one of Daenerys' dragons, with an ice spear. Daenerys flies off with the men, but is unable to save Jon.

At King's Landing, the wight is presented to the Lannisters and their supporters. Cersei demands Jon's neutrality in the Great War, but he upholds his oath to Daenerys, provoking Cersei to end discussions. Tyrion meets privately with Cersei, apparently gaining her alliance. Cersei later reveals to Jaime that she really intends to use the Golden Company of Braavos to secure her hold on Westeros. Disgusted, Jaime deserts her and rides north. Aboard a ship bound for White Harbor, Jon and Daenerys make love. At Dragonstone, Theon earns his men's respect and leads them to rescue Yara. At Winterfell, Littlefinger sows dissent by exploiting Arya's threatening demeanor toward Sansa, leading to a trial. To his surprise, a united Sansa, Arya, and Bran accuse Littlefinger of murder, conspiracy, and treason, which Bran confirms with his visions. Deserted by the Lords of the Vale, Littlefinger is sentenced to death by Sansa and executed by Arya. Samwell arrives at Winterfell and meets with Bran. They discuss Jon's parentage and through Sam's earlier research and Bran's visions, they extrapolate that Jon is a trueborn Targaryen named Aegon, the legitimate heir to the Iron Throne. His parents — Rhaegar Targaryen and Lyanna Stark — married in secret. At Eastwatch, the Night King, astride the undead Viserion, blasts a hole through the Wall with blue dragon fire, allowing the Army of the Dead to march through.

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]

On April 21, 2016, HBO officially ordered the seventh season of Game of Thrones, just three days prior to the premiere of the show's sixth season.[60] In a June 2016 interview with Variety, co-creators David Benioff and D. B. Weiss revealed the seventh season would likely consist of fewer episodes, stating at the time of the interview that they were 'down to our final 13 episodes after this season. We're heading into the final lap.'[61][62] Director Jack Bender, who worked on the show's sixth season, said that the seventh season would consist of seven episodes.[63] Benioff and Weiss stated that they were unable to produce 10 episodes in the show's usual 12 to 14 month time frame, as Weiss said 'It's crossing out of a television schedule into more of a mid-range movie schedule.'[61] HBO confirmed on July 18, 2016, that the seventh season would consist of seven episodes, and would premiere later than usual in mid-2017 because of the later filming schedule.[4] Later it was confirmed that the season would debut on July 16.[64] The seventh season includes an 81-minute finale;[65] this was the series' longest episode until it was surpassed by the Season 8 episode 'The Long Night', which is 82 minutes. Season 7's penultimate episode also runs for 71 minutes – around 16 minutes longer than an average Game of Thrones episode. The first five episodes mostly run longer than average (55 minutes), at 59, 59, 63, 50, and 59 minutes respectively.[66] The previous longest episode in the series was the sixth-season finale, 'The Winds of Winter', which ran for 69 minutes.[65]

Ramin Djawadi returned as the composer of the show for the seventh season.[67]

Release[edit]

Broadcast[edit]

The season was simulcast around the world by HBO and its broadcast partners in 186 countries. In some countries, it aired the day after its first release.[70]

Marketing[edit]

On July 23, 2016, a teaser production trailer was released by HBO at the 2016 San Diego Comic-Con. The trailer mostly consisted of voice overs, and shots of crew members creating sets and props.[112] The first footage from the season was revealed in a new promotional video released by HBO highlighting its new and returning original shows for the coming year on November 28, 2016, showcasing Jon Snow, Sansa Stark and Arya Stark.[113][114]

On March 1, 2017, HBO and Game of Thrones teamed up with Major League Baseball (MLB) for a cross-promotional partnership. At least 19 individual teams participated in this promotion.[115] On March 8, 2017, HBO released the first promotional poster for the season ahead of the SXSW Festival in Austin, Texas, which teases the battle of 'ice vs. fire'. Showrunners Benioff and Weiss also spoke at the event, along with fellow cast members Sophie Turner and Maisie Williams.[116]

On March 9, 2017, HBO hosted a live stream on the Game of Thrones Facebook page that revealed the premiere date for the seventh season as being July 16, 2017. It was accompanied by a teaser trailer.[2] On March 30, 2017, the first official promo for the show was released, highlighting the thrones of Daenerys Targaryen, Jon Snow, and Cersei Lannister.[117] On April 20, 2017, HBO released 15 official photos shot during the season.[118] On May 22, 2017, HBO released several new photos from the new season.[119] On May 23, 2017, HBO released the official posters featuring the Night King.[120] The first official trailer for season 7 was released on May 24, 2017.[27] The trailer set a world record for being the most viewed show trailer ever, being viewed 61 million times across digital platforms, in the first 24 hours.[121] The second official trailer was released on June 21, 2017.[26] The season premiere was screened at the Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles on July 12, 2017.[122]

Home media[edit]

The season was released on Blu-ray and DVD in region 1 on December 12, 2017.[123][124]

Illegal distribution[edit]

The season premiere was pirated 90 million times in the first three days after it aired.[125] On August 4, 2017, it was reported that, two days before its original broadcast, the fourth episode of the season was leaked online from Star India, one of HBO's international network partners.[126] The leaked copy has the 'for internal viewing only' watermark. On July 31, 2017, due to a security breach, HBO was the victim of 1.5 terabytes of stolen data.[127] However, 'this was not related to this episode leak', according to The Verge.[128] On August 16, 2017, four days before its intended release, it was reported that HBO Spain and HBO Nordic accidentally allowed the sixth episode of the series on-demand viewing for one hour before being removed.[129]

Data from piracy monitoring firm MUSO indicates that season seven was pirated more than one billion times mostly by unauthorized streaming, with torrent and direct downloads accounting for about 15 percent of this piracy. On average, each episode is estimated to have been pirated 140 million times,[130] making Game of Thrones the most-pirated television series in 2017.[131]

Thrones

Game of Thrones Season 7 has begun. Here’s how you can catch the first few dragon-filled episodes with HBO Now’s free trial.

HBO Now’s free trial is the perfect opportunity to grab some snacks and binge on the show everyone won’t shut up about. The wait between seasons of Game of Thrones always feels like a lifetime. But now, we can finally dive into the first two episodes of Thrones’ epic new season.

As usual for the Game of Thrones series, HBO has the broadcasting rights locked down tight so now is the time to sign up for a free trial of HBO Now if you don’t already have an HBO cable subscription.

Once the season has totally wrapped up (there will only be seven episodes this season), you’ll be able to download Game of Thrones through all the usual avenues, like iTunes, Google Play, Microsoft movies and PlayStation movies.
