Iain shares that the next season is so monumental as the crew are spending as much time and effort on producing its seven episodes as they would on a usual 10-episode season. He also reveals that there will be just six episodes in Season 8.
"They are taking the length of time it takes to shoot ten episodes to shoot just seven this year and six next year," he tells Radio Times, "There are fifteen more hours left in Thrones as we understand it, but that may change, but that's as far as we know. I think the scale and size of the set pieces, the world that is being created it's just getting more and more extraordinary and they feel they need that time to shoot seven hours as opposed to ten."
When asked whether his character will make it to the finale six episodes which are due to air in 2018, Glen replies, "I don't know of course if I am going to make the last one. I am sort of doing a head count, but I think it's certainly under ten people who were in the original pilot and have been in every season since."
"I have grown very attached to it. I love the people involved. Dan and David are very benign showrunners and very good people," he continues, "This season you feel that the drama is moving towards its end game, more characters are overlapping so we are seeing a lot more of each other, than perhaps in the past. In the same scenes and we are going to the same places."
