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

The wight is presented to the Lannister court. Cersei demands Jon’s neutrality, but he upholds his oath to Daenerys and Cersei storms off. Tyrion meets with Cersei, apparently gaining her alliance. Cersei reveals to Jaime that she instead will use the Golden Company of Braavos to secure her hold on Westeros. Disgusted, Jaime rides north.

At Dragonstone, Theon earns his men’s respect and leads them to rescue Yara.

Aboard a ship bound North, Jon and Daenerys make love.

At Winterfell, Littlefinger tries to reinforce dissent between Arya and Sansa. Sansa, Arya, and Bran publicly accuse a surprised Littlefinger of the murder of Jon and Lysa Arryn and treason against their father. Deserted by the Lords of the Vale, Littlefinger is executed by Arya.

Samwell arrives and meets Bran. Combining Gilly’s earlier research and Bran’s vision, they realise Jon is Aegon Targaryen, the legitimate heir to the Iron Throne. Jon’s parents, Rhaegar Targaryen and Lyanna Stark, married secretly.

At Eastwatch, the Night King, astride the undead Viserion, blasts a hole through the Wall with blue dragon fire; the Army of the Dead marches through.
