It seems that the delay for "Game of Thrones" season 7 is worth the wait as star Iain Glen (playing the role of Ser Jorah Mormont) has teased that the show is getting more and more extraordinary. Sophie Turner (playing the role of Sansa Stark) also hints on her character's darker side.
In an interview with Radio Times, Iain Glen revealed that the show is spending much time in doing season 7 with only seven episodes, as much as the 10-episode production time. This hints on a more elaborate filming as the shorter season is taking longer filming than the usual.
The upcoming seasons of "Game of Thrones" are expected to be shorter than the previous season. The showrunners have already mentioned that there are only remaining 15 hours for the show. This means that season 7 will only air 7 episodes while season 8 will have 6 episodes only.
Aside from the length of episodes, the actor also teased that the show is becoming "more and more extraordinary." Glen revealed that the show is creating a new world so fans can expect season 7 of "Game of Thrones" with a more improved setting.
