The filming of the seventh series of Games of Thrones will be delayed as the show's bosses David Beinoff and DB Weiss wait for more gloomy weather conditions to move across Europe.
The show usually starts shooting around July in locations like Northern Ireland, Spain, Croatia and Iceland.
But the
lack of suitable weather means it will take a little longer than usual for the seventh season to hit our screens, which traditionally premieres around the world in late March or April.
"We don't have an air date yet, but this year will likely be a bit later," they revealed during a chat on the UFC Unfiltered podcast.
"We're starting (filming) a bit later because, you know, the end of this season, winter is here, and that means sunny weather doesn't serve our purposes anymore, so we pushed back everything down the line to get some grim, grey weather, even in the sunnier places that we shoot."
