After a long, dry summer- longer than usual, thanks to delayed filming this year– shooting has begun on season 7 on Game of Thrones. In the last week or so, sightings of the show’s stars have ramped up, and starting yesterday, multiple reports trickled in that filming was resuming.

Season 7 filming is here: let the fun begin!
