EMMY- AND GOLDEN GLOBE-WINNING HBO SERIES GAME OF THRONES TO BEGIN PRODUCTION ON SEASON SEVEN THIS SUMMER

 

LOS ANGELES, July 18, 2016 – The Emmy and Golden Globe-winning series GAME OF THRONES will begin shooting its next season later this summer, it was announced today by Casey Bloys, president, HBO programming. Production of the seven-episode seventh season will be based in Northern Ireland, while additional portions will be filmed in Spain and Iceland, with debut slated for summer 2017 on HBO.

 

 “Now that winter has arrived on GAME OF THRONES, executive producers David Benioff and D.B. Weiss felt that the storylines of the next season would be better served by starting production a little later than usual, when the weather is changing,” said Bloys. “Instead of the show’s traditional spring debut, we’re moving the debut to summer to accommodate the shooting schedule.”

 

Season seven directors will include Mark Mylod, Jeremy Podeswa, Matt Shakman and Alan Taylor. Locations for shooting in Spain will include Sevilla, Caceres, Almodovar del Rio, Santiponce, Zumaia and Bermeo.

Weiss).

So when, ACTUALLY, is the airing of the first episode of season 7?

I wonder what this means for the spring scheduling spot. They’ve got options…

Big Little Lies, Sharp Objects, or even The Deuce could all drop in that time frame, I guess.

Or perhaps one of those is paired with the final season of The Leftovers, which should drop in January?

Hard to say, because I imagine they’ll still want to pair Game of Thrones with Silicon Valley and Veep. But does that mean Girls is pushed back and paired with a new comedy during the spring time slot?

Next year is going to be an interesting one for HBO.

The Deuce is going to be closest. I’d bet on that one. With Leftovers moving to the January slot. This is actually okay for HBO. Summertime wont hurt GoT ratings and Spring was too stacked with Veep and SV already. Spread it out and add new shows in GoT’s old timeslot for a solid launch of a new show.

So what joins Girls in the January time slot? Any new comedies that may be close to airing by that time? Barry, perhaps?
