The filming, and thus airing, of Game of Thrones Season 7 will be delayed, the showrunners have revealed.
Speaking on the UFC Unfiltered podcast (via Digital Spy) David Benioff and Dan Weiss admitted they need to wait for the weather to get a little worse before committing the penultimate season to film.
Given most of the show’s iconic locations are created and shot in Europe, the production team is going to have to wait until winter actually arrives.

“So we kind of pushed everything down the line, so we could get some grim grey weather even in the sunnier places that we shoot.”
