“Winter is here,” Jon Snow said. Unfortunately for him, Winter has yet to arrive in Northern Ireland where a portion of Game of Thrones is filmed.
When interviewed for the UFC Unfiltered podcast, Game of Thrones writers and producers, David Benioff and D.B. Weiss said the following:
“We don’t have an air date yet, but this year will probably be a little bit later. We’re starting a bit later because at the end of this season, ‘Winter is here’ — and that means that sunny weather doesn’t really serve our purposes any more. So we kind of pushed everything down the line, so we could get some grim grey weather even in the sunnier places that we shoot.”
Traditionally, every Game of Thrones season has debuted in April, with now the exception of Season 7. Will the delay be worth it? In my opinion, yes. The wintry battle between the living and the dead is coming, and I have high expectations that Game of Thrones will continue to be a masterpiece. If said masterpiece requires a little extra time to reach perfection, then I shall gladly sit on the Iron Throne and wait.

It’s the NIght King’s fault for sure!!
