Game of Thrones season 7 premieres tonight 9pm ET in the US on HBO, kicking off the penultimate season of arguably the most-talked about show of modern times. GoT is one of the few TV shows that brings the world together, and becomes a mainstay of conversation on the Internet and in the real world. Game of Thrones is also the kind of show that you must catch within the first two days, or you risk having it spoiled for you thanks to hard-to-escape discussions on social media. Season 7 will have a shortened run of seven episodes, running from July 16 to August 27. Since it's not based on George RR Martin's work anymore, we don't know what to expect. That hasn't stopped us from making our predictions for this season, though. We've also prepared a quick refresh if you need to catch up on past events.
How to avoid Game of Thrones spoilers without cutting off from Facebook, Twitter
The only firm information we have prior to the season premiere are the titles for the first three episodes of season 7: 'Dragonstone', 'Stormborn', and 'The Queen's Justice'. The episode synopses HBO released give a little more information: Dragonstone is the ancient seat of the Targaryens, and in the first episode, Daenerys comes home. Stormborn is one of her titles, and the synopsis says that she receives an unexpected visitor in the second episode. The title of the third episode of Game of Thrones season 7 is likely related to Cersei; the synopsis says that Daenerys holds court, and Cersei returns a gift.
The action starts from Sunday on HBO in the US, and we've also put together a list of options on how to watch it in different countries.
