Poor Hodor got perhaps Game of Thrones’ least-deserved end, and one hopes his afterlife would be far more pleasant. Well, that afterlife is apparently a KFC, as a new commercial with Thrones alum Kristian Nairn memorably recalls the gentle giant’s tragic end.
Let’s face it, “From the author of Game of Thrones” is going to get feet through the door, regardless of whether George R.R. Martin is actually involved. That’s what Syfy’s counting on for its adaptation of Martin’s Nightflyers, a decidedly more space-faring odyssey that now has its very own pilot order.
Time will tell if HBO attempts to keep Game of Thrones Season 7 so far under-wraps as last year, but the cast are almost literally undercover in new photos. See the most wintery look at Season 7 yet, featuring some familiar faces not yet seen in earlier promos.
HBO bosses never hoped to settle a final Game of Thrones season at fewer episodes than the seventh, but it seems those five new spinoffs loosened their grip. Reports confirm that Game of Thrones Season 8 has officially firmed up its episode order, and The Long Night might be shorter than you think.
Just under two months from its premiere, Game of Thrones finally thawed out a Season 7 trailer, teasing new alliances, surprise returns and the great White Walker war to come. We couldn’t help diving way deeper into every frame of footage in anticipation of Game of Thrones hitting HBO in July.
We’ve at least thirteen more Game of Thrones episodes in the tank, to say nothing of George R.R. Martin finally finishing the real story in print, but darn it all, if HBO was going to let Westeros get away. Reports confirm at least four spinoff possibilities in the works, with Kong: Skull Island and Kingsman writers competing.
Now that the mystery of Game of Thrones Season 6 has come to an end, the final seasons remained an open question for HBO, between reports of truncated episode orders and delayed production. Now, we finally know that Season 7 will get underway this summer, aiming for a Summer 2017 premiere with seven episodes.
If last night’s news of Game of Thrones potentially ending its final two seasons over just 13 episodes weren’t a sobering enough reminder of the series’ longevity, talk naturally turns to the possibility for spinoff, or even other series set among the world of Westeros. Sadly, HBO casts all your spinoff dreams into the fire, barring any real desire from showrunners.
Just before the New Year, Game of Thrones author George R.R. Martin alluded to a possible update on The Winds of Winter, the sixth novel in his series dangling precariously ahead of its HBO counterpart. Well, that update is finally here, and fans of the Song and Ice and Fire series may not like what they have to hear.
