The wait for season seven of Game of Thrones could be longer than expected.
Showrunners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss revealed that production on the HBO fantasy drama is going to start later than expected. The duo, who made the remarks during a UFC podcast, said production is waiting for gloomy weather to return in a bid to capture the gloomy weather that comes with the "Winter is here" moment revealed in the season six finale.
"We don't have an air date yet," the duo said. "We're starting a bit later because at the end of this season, 'Winter is here' — and that means that sunny weather doesn't really serve our purposes any more. So we kind of pushed everything down the line, so we could get some grim, gray weather even in the sunnier places that we shoot."
THR has reached out to HBO for comment and will update the story if any information becomes available.
Game of Thrones typically arrives in March or April. The series was renewed for a seventh season with an episode count still yet to be determined. The showrunners previously told THR that they are "writing the final act" for the adaptation of the George R.R. Martin series and are "looking at somewhere between 70 and 75 hours before the credits roll for the last time."
