The HBO show isn't one to shy away from enormous budget. For season seven, the lead stars - Emilia Clarke (Daenerys), Kit Harington (Jon Snow), Lena Headey (Cersei Lannister), Peter Dinklage (Tyrion Lannister) and Nikolaj Coster-Waldau (Jaime Lanister) – reportedly received $2 million each.
It has also been revealed that Miguel Sapochnik, who directed "The Battle of the Bastards"and "Hardhome" will return for the final season.
Also returning for the season is David Nutter, who helmed the infamous "Red Wedding." These directors are enough to tease an epic and gut-wrenching season finale.
"Game of Thrones" is expected to return for its final season in 2018 or 2019.
