We’re just over a week from Game of Thrones beginning its final descent, and we’ve got the Season 7 synopses to prove it. Even more wars will be fought, but is Nikolaj Coster-Waldau teasing another explosive upset for a Lannister landmark?

We’ve known for some time that Silicon Valley star and comedian T.J. Miller would be leaving the series behind, as well his esoteric explanations for doing so. Now that the Season 4 finale has come to pass, Miller lets loose on a wide variety of revealing critiques, cementing “I will never be on Silicon Valley again.”

Just under a month from its premiere, Game of Thrones blessed us with a second Season 7 trailer, placing the Night King front and center for the Great War to come. Just like last time, we couldn’t help diving deeper into every frame of footage.

We’ve finally passed the one-month mark for Game of Thrones Season 7, so it’s high-time we had a new trailer. The Night King shows his ugly mug once again, as all-out dragon warfare erupts in the new Season 7 trailer and posters!

Game of Thrones is never without at least one insufferable cad in a position of usurped authority, so who might fill the void left by Ramsay Bolton? According to star Pilou Asbæk, we might come to hate Euron Greyjoy in Season 7 even more-so than Ramsay or Joffrey.

HBO knows to step back and let Larry David do his thing when it comes to Curb Your Enthusiasm, but we’ll need a premiere date eventually. Well, Leon himself may have given us the scoop, as reports say J.B. Smoove announced a fall return.

Since 2003, HBO’s Real Time With Bill Maher has been a divisive source of comedy and political commentary. If you believe the old adage that there’s no such thing as bad publicity, then the last few years have been particularly kind to the series; Maher has come under attack for his comments on an Ann Coulter protest at the University of California at Berkeley or his decision to give alt-right poster child Milo Yiannopoulos the chance to spread his message of intolerance to the masses. And while Maher has survived and even thrived at the center of controversy, his recent use of a racial slur on the show may be the final straw for even his most ardent supporters.

Game of Thrones Season 7 isn’t likely to garner complaints of extended runtime, especially with thirteen hours left overall. Still, there’s good reason to suspect that HBO’s flagship drama will be cramming episodes to the gills, as the July 16 premiere runtime is one of its longest yet.

Game of Thrones is debuting later in the year than ever, but that doesn’t dampen our excitement for the first official Season 7 trailer one bit. Watch the world of Westeros get a little colder, even as the Great War heats up in the penultimate season’s first official trailer.

Game of Thrones Season 7 spoilers are something of a contradiction, in that very little need be preserved of George R.R. Martin’s unpublished books, yet the series now has its own story to protect. And protect it will, as star Nathalie Emmanuel reveals the elaborate lengths through which cast were asked to protect Season 7 scripts.

Deadwood revival updates have been few and far between these days, beyond star Ian McShane’s occasional insistence that creator David Milch was hard at work. At the very least, McShane’s latest claims prove to be true, as another series alum reveals they’ve read the completed movie script, calling it “f–ing thrilling and f–ing heartbreaking.”

No longer must Game of Thrones fans stare at a block of ice for a CG teaser: Season 7 is here! See Cersei, Daenerys and Jon Snow get some fresh threads in a new “Long Walk” teaser for the July premiere, complete with chilly twist.
