It’s time to go back to Westeros.
On Thursday afternoon, the premiere date for Season 7 of Game of Thrones was finally revealed. We can all collectively return to Westeros on July 16, 2017, so you still have enough time binge-watch if you haven't been keeping up.
The date was announced on Facebook Live, where users were asked to write "FIRE" in the comments in order to reveal the date, which was hidden beneath a melting block of ice.

Last summer, we learned that the new season of the show would not only be delayed but it would also be shorter than fans are used to. It will be just seven episodes long instead of 10, the usual amount.
David Benioff, a showrunner for the hit series, told Variety last year, “I think we’re down to our final 13 episodes after this season. We’re heading into the final lap.” While that's what Benioff said the show was aiming for, he also added that nothing was "set in stone."
