When will HBO’s Game of Thrones return for Season 7? We still don’t know for sure, but now, actor Liam Cunningham (Davos Seaworth) has teased that the show may come back in July.
“I’ve been disappointing various people around the world because it was meant to come out in April. It’s July now, I think,” he told The Independent (via IGN).

We’ve always know this new season would debut later than the previous ones, but this is apparently the first time we’re hearing about a July date.
Cunningham also confirmed there will be a special event to mark the season premiere and that, as rumored, it will only have seven episodes. He also said production will begin on Season 8 in September this year.
“There’s going to be a launch and something special happening this year for the premiere. The bad news is, there will only be seven episodes and the final season starts again as far as I know in September,” he said.
A new promo for Game of Thrones Season 7 aired recently on HBO and can be seen above. According to actress Emilia Clarke, Season 7 is going to blow your mind.
Although Game of Thrones may wrap up with Season 8, there is a chance that HBO will produce a prequel.
