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 [1] 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 [2] and making a few predictions based on theories [3]. 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.
Kit Harington (Jon Snow)
During a chat with The Hollywood Reporter, Kit Harington shared his season seven thoughts [4], 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."
Maisie Williams (Arya Stark)
Williams hasn't conducted any official interviews about the seventh season, but she recently dropped an exciting series of tweets.
