How the Game of Thrones Cast Has Already Teased Season 7

We've got almost a year until Game of Thrones returns for its seventh season, due in large part to the fact that the premiere has been pushed back to accommodate the arrival of Winter in Westeros. Until then, we're doing whatever we can to stop ourselves from going insane. We're scraping together details pertaining to next season and making a few predictions based on theories. But there's a more concrete place to look for clues about what's ahead: the cast! Here's what the show's biggest stars have let slip so far about the penultimate installment of Game of Thrones.

During a chat with The Hollywood Reporter, Kit Harington shared his season seven thoughts, after stressing he hadn't gotten any scripts, of course. "I think it's going to get very bleak before if there is a happy ending," he said. "I think it's going to get very dark before it gets better. I think what we might see this season is those White Walkers and that Army of the Dead really come into force. . . . I think with the whole 'Winter is finally here' business, it means everyone is going to have a really bad time."
