VIDEO : 'Game of Thrones' Winter is Coming Next Summer

HBO The white ravens flowing forth from the Citadel of Oldtown, and pouring all over the realms of Westeros, finally fulfilled the promise of House Stark's famous words: "Winter is here." But for fans of Game of Thrones, it's going to take a good bit of time before the snow finally falls. This week, HBO revealed that Game of Thrones' seventh season would premiere later than usual. In the past, seasons of the Emmy-winning show have launched in the March and April months; but for the upcoming seventh year of the fantasy series, fans will have to wait until the summer of 2017.
