Let's go behind the scenes to see all that goes into making the most expensive TV show ever!
Game of Thrones season 7 shooting may have been pushed to a later date but that does not mean that people behind the scenes are standing by to start work on a later schedule as well.
In a first for the multi-Emmy award winning show, HBO released a teaser taking the viewers behind the cameras before the next season. One can see how the costumes, sets, and several other tiny details come together to make the most expensive show on TV. There is also a little surprise in store for you!
Let's break it down for you
We start with the set in Belfast in Northern Ireland. You are introduced to the grandeur of it all through the huge containers and enormous studio floor. You see woodwork for set pieces, building a place you have come to recognise from Westeros.
There are seals being prepared as well as the fake stone eyes that are put on a dead person as part of the funeral rites. Counting the numbers of those fake eyes, is it safe to assume that the short season 7 will feature a lot of deaths?
We see a lot of Lannister paraphernalia. Starting with the house sigil to Cersei's armour/dress we saw last season as she took the Iron Throne. The narration takes us back to the scenes from the last episode of season six.
An epic battle took place in the last season between Jon Snow and Ramsay Bolton's armies. This needs a lot of weapons made. A look at this fake armoury will remind you of the scenes and it also holds a promise of what is coming, apart from the winter!
Modern day masons and carpenters and wizards are seen working on bringing the North, especially Winterfell, to life. In the background, we hear Ramsey remind Sansa that he is part of her now. And if we take Sophie Turner's words into consideration — that Sansa enjoyed her first kill — Ramsay never truly died.
Focus shifts to the writing desk where we see the first episode being written and the script being brought to the first reading of the cast. Markers with sigils of the houses, including House Stark, are being painted. With all those ships out in sea, it's probably a look at another battle, but this time on water?
Be prepared for goosebumps! Because we hear the first line from season 7 of Game of Thrones for the first time ever. Tyrion Lannister says, "Welcome home, my queen."
