Introduction

The seventh and penultimate season of the fantasy drama television series Game of Thrones premiered on HBO on 16 July 2017, and concluded on 27 August 2017.

Unlike previous seasons, which consisted of ten episodes each, the seventh season consisted of only seven episodes.

Like the previous season, it largely consisted of original content not found in George R. R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire series, while also incorporating material that Martin revealed to showrunners about the upcoming novels in the series. The series was adapted for television by David Benioff and D.B. Weiss.

Outline

At the Twins, Arya, disguised as Walder Frey, poisons the remaining lords of House Frey.

The White Walkers march toward the Wall. Edd receives Bran and Meera at Castle Black. At Winterfell, Sansa objects when Jon accepts the loyalties of Houses Umber and Karstark, whose previous leaders supported Ramsay.

Queen Cersei demands that the North bend the knee.

At the Citadel, Samwell “borrows” restricted library books, learning there is a large deposit of dragonglass at Dragonstone; he sends word to Jon. Sam finds Jorah, now heavily infected with greyscale, quarantined in a cell.

In the Riverlands, Arya meets some friendly Lannister soldiers, and “jokingly” claims she will kill Cersei.

The Hound begins to believe in the Lord of Light after Thoros shows him a fiery vision of the Wall and the Army of the Dead.

In King’s Landing, Jaime tells Cersei they crucially need allies. Euron arrives to propose marriage in exchange for his Iron Fleet and an opportunity to kill Theon and Yara. Cersei declines, citing trust concerns; Euron promises to return with a gift to prove his loyalty.

Daenerys arrives at Dragonstone, the ancestral home of House Targaryen, with her army and large dragons.
