It's now less than a month until the next season of the incredible Game of Thrones premieres and everyone is dying to see what happens. Will Daenerys unleash the dragons? What is Little Finger planning? Will Arya Stark unleash some faceless assassin shit?
As we get closer and closer to the release date, some characters are spilling the beans about what they get up to for the penultimate season.
Sophie Turner, who plays Sansa, has told Empire that she has a 'newfound power'. Isaac Hempstead Wright's character, Bran Stark, admits that he's in a 'precarious situation' but considering he now knows a LOT about Jon and the White Walkers, he needs to hustle on back to his family.

But one of the more interesting bits to take out of the preview, is a character we haven't seen much of, Euron Greyjoy. He's Theon's uncle and self-proclaimed King of the Iron Islands.
Pilou Asbæk plays the slightly deranged character, whom we last saw ordering his men to chop down every tree to make a fleet of ships to take control of Westeros. To paint a picture of how unhinged a character he is, he cut out his shipmen's tongues during a voyage because he 'needed silence'.
But Pilou says his best work is yet to come: "The psychos I've encountered have so many different sides to them. So each scene I've done with Euron, I pick a new thing I wanna show. 'This scene I want to be charming'.'This scene I wanna be a molester'. 'This scene I wanna kill someone'. After this season, Ramsay's gonna look like a little kid."

That's no easy task. Ramsay was hated just about the same as King Joffery. The bastard Bolton is a sadist who chopped off Theon's penis, raped Sansa on their wedding night and murdered his competition so he would succeed his father and become head of the Bolton family.
So Pilou has some pretty big shoes to fill.

Fans hoping for some serious action this coming season were delighted by the idea that the episodes will be longer. Despite there only being seven episodes, the show's creators have dragged out the running times for the last few.
Here is the breakdown in full, via Watchers on the Wall, of the official runtimes on HBO.com:
Episode 1: 59 minutes.
Episode 2: 59 minutes.
Advert
Episode 3: 63 minutes.
Episode 4: 50 minutes.
Episode 5: 59 minutes.
Episode 6: 71 minutes.
Advert
Episode 7: 81 minutes.
As you can see, season seven's finale will be considerably lengthier than any other single episode to date.
