Filming of Game of Thrones’ final season will take longer than any other season, despite only doing six episodes

TV Guide

Liam Cunningham says each episode will likely run more than an hour. The actor, who returns to work on Sunday, says: “We're filming right up until the summer. When you think about it, up until last season we'd have six months to do ten episodes, so we're (doing) way more than that for six episodes. So that obviously will translate into longer episodes."
