Jon Snow is set to return to our screens this July.
Winter is coming - and so is Game of Thrones.
The blockbuster series has revealed its return date via a livestream of a melting block of ice.
Season seven of the popular series will arrive in New Zealand on July 17.
The livestream on the Game of Thrones officialFacebook page depicted a block of ice encasing the premiere date, while viewers were encouraged to type "fire" or "dracarys" in the comments to melt the ice.
For over an hour, flamethrowers were blown at the ice until it melted away, revealing the release date as 07.16.17.
The show's elaborate live stream didn't fly with everyone, however; technical malfunctions interrupted the event twice, leaving over 100,000 viewers thinking they had watched ice melt for no reason.
