You know you’ve got a hit show when you can post a teaser about the mere fact that a new season of it has gone into production and it attracts over a million views in a couple of days.
The official Game of Thrones YouTube account has released a two-minute ‘In-Production Tease’, formally announcing that work has begun on the new episodes and showing off the crew’s hard work.
There’s nothing to glean with regards to the new season, but if you’re a big fan of sanding, hammering, painting, welding, sewing and such then you’re in for a real treat.
Frankly, the show is so big that it could just post a video of Kit Harington saying “Game of Thrones” in slow motion and millions would watch it.
"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,” Casey Bloys, president of HBO programming, said in a statement last week.
"Instead of the show's traditional spring debut, we're moving the debut to summer to accommodate the shooting schedule."
