Another week, another torrent of Game of Thrones-related news. Let’s gather all the biggest and best bits, shall we?

A lot of the news came from the South by Southwest festival, where showrunners David Benioff and Dan Weiss took the stage with actors Sophie Turner and Maisie Williams to talk all things Game of Thrones.

Among the information to come out at SXSW: Game of Thrones season 8 will consist of only six episodes. How do we feel about that?

Benioff and Weiss were the big talkers on the panel, and at one point they talked about the two actors who joined them, and the characters they play.

Benioff and Weiss also discussed the (extremely real) potential for a Game of Thrones spinoff show.

Last bit of news from SXSW: we put a weird rumor to bed.

Moving on, one of the directors for Game of Thrones season 7 revealed just how big of a problem Daenerys’ dragons are going to be for her enemies next season.

Aidan Gillen (Littlefinger) found himself asked to respond to a…surprising observation during an interview.

Meanwhile, Isaac Hempstead Wright (Bran Stark) did a very different kind of interview.

At SXSW, we learned that pop star Ed Sheeran will have a cameo appearance on Game of Thrones. He’s not the only musician coming on board.

Finally, here’s something funny to round out your Sunday. Until next time!
