The first episode of Game of Thrones’ making-of series is available online now

As Game of Thrones season seven comes to a close with an undisclosed long wait until we get any new episodes (it might be two years!), fans everywhere will be scrabbling to find new Westeros-themed content to keep them occupied over the Long Night to come.

Luckily, HBO has now aided them in that quest by releasing the first episode of their season 7 making-of series online, in a new video that goes into the nuts and bolts of how the series premiere Dragonstone was made.

Sure, it takes away the magic a little to see Jon Snow playing with a camera, wights in the makeup chair or Daenerys Stormborn in protective headscarves (or Ed Sheeran, just, in general) – but without a new Game of Thrones to obsess over every week, we have to take what we can get.

Game of Thrones will return for a final series
