Game of Thrones season 7 will be hitting our screens on 16 July. To be fair, that's only 48 days away which could be seen by a lot of people as a short period of time. But in binge-watching hours, it's forever. You could watch hundreds of series in that amount of time if you put your mind to it.
HBO released this trailer last week...
The trailer features all of the main cast of the show. It looks like Cersei and Jamie - surrounded on all sides by enemies old and new - are going to be in for a rough time. We get a glimpse of Daenery's invasion, and also see Jon Snow's leading the North against the White Walkers.
Yes, it looks amazing and brilliant and everything you'd expect, but what do we do in the meantime?

Well, GQ have managed to find an awfully similar looking show on Netflix called 'The Last Kingdom'. It's based on Bernard Cornwell's Saxon Chronicles novels, but doesn't half remind me of a certain HBO show. Just watch the trailer...
It's set in the ninth century and it focuses on the fact that Britain was split up into different kingdoms. It's on Netflix with two eight-episode seasons and was produced by the same people who produced Downton Abbey, so think of it like a nicotine patch while we're waiting for Game of Thrones.
Back to GoT, most seasons have drawn out the plot lines and character developments over 10 episodes, but unfortunately the final two series will be considerably shorter.

Season seven will feature seven episodes, while season eight will only have six.
David Benioff, co-creator and showrunner of GoT, recently said: "From the very first time we pitched [Game of Thrones] to HBO, we wanted to tell one 70-hour movie.
"It's gonna turn out to be 73 hours, but still, it's stayed relatively the same in terms of the beginning, the middle and now we're coming to the end."
So, we've got 13 episodes left to watch how it all comes to an end. Exciting stuff.
