‘Game of Thrones’ renewed for season 7

Los Angeles: HBO has announced that the hit fantasy drama series Game of Thrones will be officially renewed for a seventh season, ahead of the premiere of its sixth series.

“I think we’re down to our final 13 episodes after this season. We’re heading into the final lap,” Benioff said.

“That’s the guess, though nothing is yet set in stone, but that’s what we’re looking at.”

Season six of Game of Thrones airs in the UAE on April 25 at 5am and 11pm.

HBO has also renewed Veep and Silicon Valley, ahead of their fifth and third season premieres, respectively.
