Game of Thrones Season 3 is set to premiere on HBO on March 31, 2013, and fans will be happy to hear that even more epic awesomeness will be on tap this year.
EW is reporting that the grand scale series will feature an increase in episode length throughout the coming season, culminating in a hour-plus long finale.
Drawing from the first half of A Storm of Swords, book three in author George R.R. Martin’s Song of Ice and Fire series, showrunners David Benioff and Dan Weiss have crafted a 10-episode season that pads the length of each individual offering in order to deliver as much story as possible to the fans.
“There's almost another full episode's worth of extra minutes spread across the season,” Weiss says. “One of the great liberties with HBO is we're not forced to come in at a specific time. We can’t be under 50 minutes or over 60, but that gives us a lot of flexibility."
"A super-sized season, as befitting Storm of Swords," Benioff adds. "Last year we had a lot of 52-minute episodes. This year is a lot of 56, 57."
In this case, we are certain that more is most definitely better.
