Fans of "Game of Thrones" rejoice. Entertainment Weekly is reporting that in the upcoming season three, episodes will be a bit longer than usual. "A super-sized season, as befitting Storm of Swords," showrunner David Benioff said. "Last year we had a lot of 52-minute episodes. This year is a lot of 56, 57." Benioff and fellow showrunner Dan Weiss are also planning a season finale that is more than an hour -- something the requires special permission from HBO. "Game of Thrones" premieres on March 31.
