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

Daenerys resists advice to destroy King’s Landing, killing thousands. She and Tyrion send Yara’s fleet to Sunspear to bring the Dornish army to lay siege to King’s Landing alongside the Tyrell forces; the Unsullied are to take Casterly Rock. Daenerys challenges Varys’ loyalty and threatens to burn him alive if he ever betrays her. Melisandre arrives and encourages Daenerys to invite Jon Snow to Dragonstone. Grey Worm and Missandei consummate their relationship.

Cersei summons several lords, wanting their fealty, and Jaime offers to elevate Randyll Tarly as Warden of the South.

Qyburn shows Cersei a prototype ballista capable of killing dragons.

Arya is reunited with Hot Pie, who tells her the Boltons are dead and Jon is now King in the North. She resets course for Winterfell. Jon sets sails for Dragonstone to request Daenerys’ help against the White Walkers, leaving Sansa in charge at Winterfell. He warns Littlefinger to never touch Sansa.

Samwell performs a forbidden surgery on Jorah’s greyscale infection.

Euron’s fleet attacks Yara’s, killing Obara and Nymeria and capturing Ellaria, Tyene, and Yara. Theon, experiencing flashbacks as Reek, hesitates to challenge Euron and jumps overboard.
