"During a Facebook Live event on Thursday, the cable network revealed that the Emmy-winning fantasy hit will return on season 7 on July 16.
Until now, HBO would only say “summer” when asked about the show’s return. The season was pushed back several months from its usual April debut to accommodate various production needs. So fans have had to wait longer than ever before for new episodes this cycle and are now finding out the premiere date during the time of year when they’re usually anticipating the start of a new season in just a couple weeks.
The news was revealed in a rather elaborate Facebook Live event where hundreds of thousands of fans waited more than an hour for block of ice to melt revealing the date.
The new season will only be seven episodes (instead of its usual 10), but the production team still spent roughly the same amount of time shooting the new hours as it usually does for a full regular season (about five months). In other words, we can expect every hour to be pretty epic."
