Aside from them, many characters are also expected to step up and are speculated to play major roles in the last two seasons. It looks like the show is really going to be intense.
To prepare its fans, showrunners, Benioff and Weiss sat down with Entertainment Weekly to give fans a hint of what's to come.
"What's most exciting this season is being able to play interactions between various characters that for years we haven't been able to play," Weiss explained.
This is probably due to the fact that everybody is going back to Westeros and will finally face each other. It seems like fans are in for a lot of major character interactions this season. Although "Game of Thrones" season 7 is slated to premiere only with seven episodes, Benioff explained that it won't be short on excitement.
"We say it every year, but everybody steps up their game this season. It's kind of astounding to us. In every department, from the acting to the effects, everybody constantly improves," he said.
Co-executive producer Bryan Cogman also added that this season, everything will be in the right order, "There's a pace and urgency that's very palpable. This is the end game."
"Game of Thrones" only has 13 more episodes left; with season 7 getting seven, and season 8 getting six. Season 7 of the hit series premieres July 16 on HBO.
