The Game of Thrones season 7 finale is so long that it’s essentially a Thrones movie

Game of Thrones season 7 is definitely going all-out. The premiere is already going to be one of its longest episodes ever, but that’s got nothing on the season finale – which is reaching feature film-level lengths. Get ready for the long haul…

Watchers On The Wall have compiled a list of the running times for the entirety of season 7, but the big news is the finale weighs in at a whopping 81 minutes. Wowsers. That’s a whole 13 glorious minutes longer than the season 6 finale The Winds of Winter.

In fact, season 7 as a whole is so long when tallying up all of the episodes’ running lengths that it’s essentially a whole ‘nother episode on top in terms of minutes. Praise be the Lord of Light (and the editing team).
