While audiences eagerly wait for the upcoming season, Sky Atlantic has released a new trailer to give an idea of what's to come.
Winter has arrived and Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia Clarke) has set sail for the Seven Kingdoms, with Jon Snow (Kit Harington) being named King of the North.
Deceptive Cersei Lannister (Lena Headey) has seized the Iron Throne for herself and the Night King has gathered his undead forces for the ultimate war.
Change is sweeping through the UK studios business. The transformation of this formerly predictable but competitive sector – dominated, traditionally, by a handful of studios such as Elstree and Pinewood – could have far-reaching effects.
One of the key drivers is the boom in television production, fuelled by tax credits for high-end drama and growing demand from broadcasters and streaming services for long-running series.
George R R Martin has signed a contract with HBO and four writers to prolong Game of Thrones with some spin-offs.
A spokeswoman for HBO said: "We'll take as much or as little time as the writers need and, as with all our development, we will evaluate what we have when the scripts are in."
One of the four writers up to extend the show is Jane Goldman, who co-wrote the superhero flick Kick-Ass.
Mad Men writer Carly Wray, Brian Helgeland (LA Confidential) and Max Borenstein (Kong: Skull Island) are the other three on board.
The highly anticipated release date for series 7 of Game of Thrones has been announced.
Episodes will be broadcast weekly at 2am from 17th July on Sky Atlantic and online streaming service NOW TV, followed by a repeat at 9pm the same day.
Many burning questions from series six will be answered on the wintry return to Westeros, which saw Daenerys setting sail for the Seven Kingdoms, Jon Snow dubbed King of the North, Cersei seizing the Iron Throne and the Night King amassing forces.
Bringing a whole new meaning to the term TV dinners, 12 meals have been designed to capture the spirit of some of Sky Atlantic’s most popular programmes.
The Drama Kitchen is a pop-up takeaway that will give fans the chance to get their hands on their favourite show – and then eat it.
Each dish uses ingredients and flavours that embody the spirit of the show, and comes accompanied by props to give a whimsical nod to the drama.
Easter Rising: Voice of a Rebel commemorates the centenary year of the infamous conflict in Dublin where hundreds died as the people of Ireland wrestled for independence from Britain.

The nominations contain around 50 nods for British television shows, actors, writers and directors.
Welsh actor Matthew Rhys was nominated for Best Lead Actor in a drama for his role in US spy drama The Americans, while Benedict Cumberbatch, Tom Hiddleston and Idris Elba are all vying for Lead Actor in a limited series for BBC shows Sherlock: the Abominable Bride, The Night Manager and Luther respectively.
An average of 5 million weekly viewers tuned in to the fantasy drama over season six. The figure includes people streaming episodes from Sky Go and Now TV, with Sky increasing audience numbers by offering catch-up box-sets for people not familiar with the show as part of its on demand services.
