Game of Thrones season 7 will consist of seven episodes and arrive on HBO and Sky Atlantic in summer 2017.
There have been plenty of climactic moments and encounters in Game of Thrones’ six-season history, but the narrative has always been fragmented, with sub-plots taking place in different lands and several major characters having been never met and been separated by oceans.
This list could still be extended, but is already the biggest collection of major characters we’ve ever seen, even bigger than the gathering at Winterfell back when all was fairly harmonious in season one.
Footage and stills from filming suggest Jon and Daenerys will be somewhat allied, while Cersei is likely to team up with Euron – but don’t expect the sides to be that clearly drawn, this is Game of Thrones after all and there is always treachery afoot.
