The sixth season of “Game of Thrones” ended with Daenerys (Emilia Clarke) finally crossing the sea to Westeros to presumably annihilate newly crowned Cersei (Lena Headey) …and whatever allies she has left, while the North found a new king in the form of Jon Snow…or Stark…or Targaryen (poor guy knows nothing, not even know his own name).

Season 7 will bring about plenty of changes for the series. The usual 10-episode season has been cut down to seven and it’s usual spring premiere date has been pushed back to July 16 due to a longer production schedule. Unfortunately for “Game of Thrones,” that summer release date makes it ineligible for this year’s Emmy’s. The show had won 12 of it’s 23 award-nominations last year including Outstanding Drama Series for the second consecutive year.

Season 7 will premiere July 16 on HBO. Check out the promo below.
