Time to recap the biggest bits of Game of Thrones news from the past week. Let’s start with SPOILERS. Handle with care.

Much of the outdoor filming activity has now moved to the countryside near Malpartida, Spain. First, check out video footage of an army marching through a private estate.

From there, the production moved to Los Barruecos, specifically el Barrueco de Arriba. They’ll be filming there for weeks yet.

This giant battle will take up a solid chunk of the fourth episode of Game of Thrones Season 7. That’s a formula that has worked for the show before.

One more batch of spoilers: as filming at the Barrueco de Arriba goes on, we get a closer look at the parties involved. Not all of them are the ones we expected.

Moving on, we look back at an engrossing interview A Song of Ice and Fire author George R.R. Martin gave in 1999. As it ends up, his conception of his novels  has changed quite a bit since then.

At long last, HBO is making Game of Thrones-themed wine. Finally, we can watch the show and get drunk the way the characters would: on wine.

Meera Reed has been a strong and steady presence on Game of Thrones for several seasons now. What does the future hold for her? Actress Ellie Kendrick tells us what she can.

Game of Thrones fans are nothing if not creative. One used over 200 Skyrim mods to recreate the first trailer for the first season, released forever ago.

Okay, we lied about stopping the spoilers. Here’s a couple of juicy ones. And we’re done. We swear.

Finally, take a look at some of the beautiful posters Game of Thrones fans are making for Season 7.

These should make the wait marginally easier.
