Everything about the new season is big budget, with HBO spending $10 million on each episode, according to Forbes – up from $6 million an episode in season 6.
Game of Thrones season 7 arrives on HBO and Sky Atlantic on 25 June, 2017.
Game of Thrones season 7’s top five actors are reportedly being paid up to £2 million per episode, which would make them the highest-paid actors in television history, eclipsing the stars of Friends and The Big Bang Theory.
Excitingly, this increase will, in part, help the creators’ stage battle scenes on a scale we’ve never seen before.
