Grab a glass of your favorite red wine and polish your Valyrian steel sword, because we got our first look at "Game of Thrones" season seven.
The next-to-last season of the groundbreaking show — based on the unfinished "A Song of Ice and Fire" book series by George R. R. Martin — will premiere mid-July. The season will only air seven episodes, rather than 10 like the previous six seasons.
