Recently Showrunner David Benioff, while talking to Entertainment Weekly said, "We have two episodes over 60 minutes this year. One will be our longest episode ever - it's coming in around 90 minutes."
Another is going to be our shortest episode at 50 minutes."
The previous longest episode in the saga was the season 6 finale, 'The Winds of Winter,' which ran 69 minutes.
