Where previously HBO would only specify a summer 2017 premiere for the seven-episode Game of Thrones return, Cunningham clearly stated to the Irish Independent that a July premiere was the current plan.
Now, star Liam Cunningham suggests HBO is looking at a July premiere, with production resuming in late summer.
We’ll hear more of Game of Thrones Season 7 in the coming weeks and months, but will HBO finally step forth with an official date?
Presumably, Cunningham was referring to production of Season 8 resuming in September, which we’ll take as a positive sign for Davos’ chances in Season 7.
