The cable network has revealed the titles for the final two episodes of the season, a set of information which could serve as a spoiler among many fans.
Episode 9 is titled "The Battle of the Bastards," which can be interpreted as the awaited battle between Jon Snow and Ramsay Bolton - a storyline that has been brewing all season.
Game of Thrones showrunners previously revealed that season 6 will feature the biggest battle in the history of the series, allowing for fans to speculate that the June 19 installment will finally uncork the Bolton vs. Snow faceoff. The running time of this episode is 60 minutes.
The finale, which marks as the tenth episode, is titled "The Winds of Winter." It is said to be a homage to author George R.R. Martin's upcoming sixth novel in the Song of Ice and Fire Saga. The episode is slated to air on June 26. It will be the longest episode to date of Game of Thrones.
Episodes 9 and 10 are helmed by director Miguel Sapochnik.
As for Sunday's installment titled "No One," the cable network has released an official synopsis. It reads: "While Jaime (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) weighs his options, Cersei (Lena Headey) answers a request. Tyrion's (Peter Dinklage) plans bear fruit. Arya (Maisie Williams) faces a new test."
Previously, the showrunners said that they plan to end the series with abbreviated seasons, with no more than 13 episodes. Season 7 will get seven episodes and the remaining six will be reserved for the eight and potential final season.
