At SXSW this weekend, Game of Thrones showrunners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss revealed that Ed Sheeran will appear in a cameo role in Season 7, and Sansa Stark actor Sophie Turner showcased her new blonde locks. Benioff and Weiss also confirmed that the show's final season - Season 8 - will consist of just 6 episodes. What does all this mean for GoT fans?

Who Will Ed Sheeran Play in Game of Thrones?

Big Boi is a big Game of Thrones fan. Huge, in fact.We asked the hip-hop artist about his favorite show at FANDOMs Comic-Con party, which he headlined.First, as a musical artist, we wanted to get his take on Ed Sheerans polarizing cameo appearance in the Season 7 premiere, entitled Dragonstone.I was cool with it, Big Boi told FANDOM. A lot of people were like, oh no, why? Its Ed Sheeran! [expletive]So if he could get written into the show, who would Big Boi play?I would like to be one of the Unsullied  but keep my balls, he explained. So I can get with the girl.Game of Thrones isnt the only show Big Boi watches, especially when hes got some down time promoting his new record, Boomiverse.Ive been looking at GLOW  the gorgeous ladies of wrestling, he says of his binge viewing habits. I grew up on that. It was kinda nostalgic. See why Big Boi particularly loves the El Chapo series as well.

Game of Thrones: Season Six Trailer

HBO just released the second trailer for the upcoming seventh season of Game Of Thrones and oh my GOD, it is EVERYTHING! Its hard to know what it all means with no context, but heres a brief rundown of a few things that caught our interest in the two-minute trailer.We see Sansa presumably at Winterfell and hear Littlefingers ominous advice to fight every battle, everywhere, always, in your mind.There are a few shots of Daenerys at Dragonstone, the Targaryen ancestral home. We also get a beautiful shot of the dragons flying towards it.This is obviously going to be a season filled with battles, including one at sea involving Danys dragons, which apparently leaves Theon and Yara stunned. We also get a shot of Euron Greyjoy, supposedly this seasons big bad (i.e. the new Joffrey or Ramsay) towards the end of the trailer.There are also glimpses of the Unsullied invading Kings Landing and of the Dothraki on horseback accompanied by one of the dragons.We see Jon Snow and the other Northerners fighting the Night King and the White Walkers and we also get an absolutely badass shot of Beric Dondarrion holding a flaming sword.But perhaps the most intriguing part of the whole trailer is when we hear Jon saying for centuries our families fought together against their common enemy. Who is he talking to and is he speaking as a Stark or as a Targaryen? WE WANT TO KNOW! Why cant it be July 16 already?The trailer ends in epic fashion with Sansas ominous portent when the snows fall and the white winds blow, the lone wolf dies but the pack survives as Jon defeats someone in battle. Could this mean another Stark death is coming? It certainly doesnt sound good.Game Of Thrones Season 7 premieres July 16, 2017, on HBO
