Game of Thrones Is Officially Premiering This Summer

We knew Game of Thrones's shortened seventh season would air later than usual this year, but now we officially know it won't be back until Summer. HBO had a presentation at the Television Critics Association, but they didn't announce an exact premiere date. A press release reveals the show is scheduled to return in the "Summer." It's not a surprise, but it sure would be nice to at least have a firm date to put on the calendar.

Last year, the show's executive producers, David Benioff and D. B. Weiss, called into the UFC Unfiltered podcast for a little Game of Thrones chat. When asked if the next season would premiere in April, Weiss had a surprising response.

"No. We don't have an air date yet, but this year will probably be a little bit later. We're starting a bit later because at the end of this season, Winter is here. And that means that sunny weather doesn't really serve our purposes anymore. So, we kind of pushed everything down the line so we could get some grim gray weather, even in the sunnier places that we shoot."

After that, HBO confirmed our worst nightmares, saying that the show indeed would air later than usual. HBO programming president Casey Bloys elaborated on the situation, saying that "the story lines of the next season would be better served by starting production a little later than usual, when the weather is changing. Instead of the show's traditional spring debut, we're moving the debut to summer to accommodate the shooting schedule."
