Game of Thrones actors will not just be getting more screen time in season seven, but the show will return with its longest season premiere ever. Season seven will run for seven episodes.
According to HBO, the first episode of season seven will run for 59 minutes, the longest season premiere since the show’s pilot episode in 2011, which clocked in at 62 minutes.
The new season will debut on July 16 in the US.
The news has increased speculation that the season’s episodes will run for longer than previous seasons, which started following stars of the show hinting that they had worked harder on this upcoming season than ever before.
Actors Emilia Clarke, Peter Dinklage, and Kit Harington have said that they will get more screen time in the forthcoming seventh season, as the show has killed off a lot of its characters.
