Seizoen zeven
Aankomende zondag, 16 juli, gaat seizoen zeven van Game Of Thrones in première. Dit seizoen bestaat uit zeven afleveringen, met per aflevering een budget van ongeveer 8,7 miljoen euro. Dit is het korte seizoen uit de serie.

23 miljoen kijkers
Game of Thrones wordt uitgezonden in meer dan 170 landen, wat vorig seizoen zorgde voor 23 miljoen kijkers per aflevering. Het totale aantal kijkers ligt eigenlijk nog veel hoger, omdat de illegale streams niet worden meegerekend (en Game Of Thrones is de meest gestreamde serie ooit). Seizoen zeven is het een-na-laatste van de serie.
