Sure, we’ve had two trailers and dozens of photos to date, but Game of Thrones Season 7 is only just getting started. Literally! Sunday’s “Dragonstone” premiere has its own new photos, featuring a surprising battle and not one – but TWO homecomings.

Game of Thrones Season 7 marks our last regular engagement with the franchise, knowing we have further episodes to come. The final season will be a much larger event, but HBO bosses won’t make you move from the couch to the theater, nor will the upcoming spinoffs.

Game of Thrones’ costume designer may rattle off spoilers as she pleases, but series star Gemma Whelan wasn’t afforded the same luxury in Season 2. Announcing her character very nearly cost our then-future Yara her job, Whelan recounts in a new interview.

Westworld won’t return until 2018, but there’s no time like the present to get viral Season 2 teases going. Ahead of Comic-Con 2017, a new update to the Westworld site seemingly confirms our 2018 premiere title, and a certain someone begging for help.

Boy, oh boy – Game of Thrones may not be allowing screeners this year, but the first three Season 7 outings are sure to get Khaleesis cheering. Read for yourself, as HBO releases the first new titles and synopses, bringing “The Queen’s Justice” to Westeros.

If cord-cutting was starting to seem more complex than a cable package itself, Hulu is here to help. Just in time for Game of Thrones, the streaming service has announced HBO and Cinemax add-ons for your subscription.

Future Westworld might as well be the desert HBO spent ten episodes crossing, for all the waiting we’ve done. Comic-Con 2017 will help quench our thirst, but so will a November Blu-ray release of the first season, now with its own official trailer, cover art and cryptic title.

We’re just two weeks from Game of Thrones Season 7 treating us to the longest episodes yet, though the future remains as uncertain as ever. Even less episodes will populate the eighth and final season, and according to those involved, the run-times may get even longer.

We weren’t certain how HBO might redeem True Detective after Season 2, but if “David Milch” didn’t get us there, “Mahershala Ali” might. The Luke Cage and Moonlight star is reportedly set to lead the third True Detective installment, which might be further along than we thought.

Mileage may vary as to whether Game of Thrones owes any character a happy ending – let alone a pair of them – but few would deny the rare joy of Tormund and Brienne’s awkward pairing. “Few” being creators David Benioff and Dan Weiss, who now monstrously tease “we need to kill one of them.”

We’re just two weeks from Game of Thrones dropping another season’s worth of mysteries and crossovers, though some from early years are bound to fall by the wayside. One Arya-Littlefinger question in particular has bothered us since Season 2, and Aiden Gillen finally has a (foreshadowing?) answer.

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.”
