Season 7 premiere will air later than we all expected, Game of Thrones producers David Benioff and Dan Weiss revealed. The upcoming weather forecast told by Sansa to Jon Snow at Winterfell in the end of season six will need a delay in production "We don't have an air date yet," the creators said "We're starting a bit later because at the end of this season, 'Winter is here'—and that means that sunny weather doesn't really serve our purposes any more So we kind of pushed everything down the line, so we could get some grim, grey weather even in the sunnier places that we shoot."
