The penultimate season will contain just seven episodes and will feature a cameo appearance from Ed Sheeran.

Speaking to Entertainment Weekly, show-runner, Davis Beniff said, “For a long time we’ve been talking about ‘the wars to come’.” 

“Well, that war is pretty much here. So it’s really about trying to find a way to make the storytelling work without feeling like we’re rushing it.”

The seventh season of Game of Thrones begins on July 16.
