Game of Thrones Season 6 still managed to keep a number of secrets under wraps, even as fans eagerly picked apart every set photo, and Season 7 may be no different. Certain members of a certain family have now been photographed in close proximity, which may or may not suggest a major reunion in Season 7.

The violent delights of HBO’s Westworld are nowhere near their violent ends after Sunday’s premiere, and things are definitely going to get worse for our “hosts” before they get better. See for yourself in a new trailer previewing the HBO drama’s first season, as well as those haunting opening credits.

There were at least a few Tormund Giantsbane fans on edge all throughout Game of Thrones Season 6, particularly as the character faced a deadly battle that could easily have cost multiple fan-favorites. Thankfully, Tormund survived to make sexy bread-eyes at Brienne in Season 7, but Kristofer Hivju is teasing an even more adorable pair for next year.

Game of Thrones Season 7 doesn’t have as big of secrets to keep as that pesky Jon Snow’s fate, but can’t help tipping its hand a bit when it comes to big battles. We’ve heard of one major offensive likely ahead for the Dragon Queen, but is a separate shoot about to start another big siege?

Game of Thrones Season 6 addressed major theories and returned fan-favorites moreso than ever, but one notable omission was felt by all. Well, Season 7 may finally answer your prayers to the Seven, as a long-lost Game of Thrones star has been spotted rowing around Belfast!

Game of Thrones Season 6 has come and gone, long-since making moot any questions of George R.R. Martin speeding out The Winds of Winter to avoid spoilers, but there may at last be hope in sight. Another reported leak places Winds of Winter with an early 2017 release, at least beating Season 7 to the punch.

Even at a reduced episode order, Game of Thrones Season 7 brings with it the likelihood of even more character connections than the prior year. We know travel times are no longer a concern, but a new Season 7 production report places a surprising figure within striking distance of King’s Landing.

Any Game of Thrones fan has likely known for some time that Seasons 7 and 8 would mark the last for HBO’s adapted saga, though the network itself has expressed optimism for more. Now, HBO bosses dish on the plan to end with Season 8, as well what they’ve discussed with regard to a spinoff.

Game of Thrones is normally one to employ its most gruesome and spectacular visuals in moderation, a point well-embodied by The Mountain’s undead (but heavily concealed) transformation. Season 6 offered a brief glimpse of the horror in shadow, but gaze for yourself into Ser Gregor Clegane’s putrid new visage.

John Oliver’s HBO Last Week Tonight has been on a brief hiatus since we said goodbye to Game of Thrones, and while the intervening weeks have surely wrought plenty to discuss upon his return, there’s time to take stock meanwhile. Cue a new web-only exclusive for Last Week Tonight, as the comedian delves into “fan mail” to read some of the nicer (and nastier) comments about the series.

The “Battle of the Bastards” may be behind us, but Ser Davos’ fighting days are far from over when Game of Thrones Season 7 premieres. Some new photos see actor Liam Cunningham undergoing some bareknuckle (bare finger stump?) training from UFC fighter Conor McGregor’s coach John Kavanagh, just as The Mountain before him.

Now that we’ve all swept up our jaws from the floor after Sunday’s “Battle of the Bastards,” Game of Thrones is already gearing up for its sixth season finale. “The Winds of Winter” are rising, even if Kings’ Landing seems anything but cold, with Cersei’s fiery trial and more looming in the first trailer.
