Summer is coming.
夏天就要来啦。

HBO is officially confirming some major changes for Game of Thrones.
HBO网站正式确认新一季《权力的游戏》将会发生诸多变化。

Season 7 of the fantasy sensation will not return until summer 2017 – pushing back from the show’s usual strategy of premiering each edition of the series in the spring (typically April).
《权力的游戏》第七季的奇幻故事将于2017年夏天回归——这比起该剧往常每一季的回归时期向后推迟了一些(通常是四月份的春天)。

Also, the network is confirming for the first time that next edition will consist of seven episodes (a pull back from the show’s usual 10 hours).
此外,该网站首次确认下一季将减少为七集(通常该剧时长总共为10小时)。

Plus, HBO added that the next season will be shot in Northern Ireland, Spain, and Iceland.
不仅如此,HBO网站补充道下一季将会在北爱尔兰、西班牙、冰岛取景。

The producers have previously told EW they wanted to cap the hit series at 73 hours, with seven episodes next year, and six in an eighth-and-final season. HBO has not yet confirmed anything about season 8, however, so that part of their plan is not yet official.
制作人告诉EW的记者,他们希望在第73集时总结此剧,也就是说算上下一季的七集,第八季将会是最后一季,集数为六。然而HBO尚未正式对于第八季做出任何说明,因此他们的想法只是暂时的。

Thrones season 6 broke HBO ratings records once again with episodes averaging more than 23 million viewers, including streaming, repeats and DVR playback. The drama was also nominated for 23 primetime Emmys last week, more than any of other series for the third year running.
《权力的游戏》第六季再一次打破了HBO网站播放记录——包括连续播放、重复播放和DVR回放在内有平均超过2300万观众。该剧还在上周的第二十三届黄金时段艾美奖上获得23项提名——为三年获得提名数目之最。
