'Game of Thrones' Season 6 Episode 1 Release Date & Spoilers: Things to Expect in New Season
If you already watched the season finale, then you can relate to the many fans who are so done with the show. The last two minutes did not happen, right? Although the "Game of Thrones" Wiki page said that production is ready to begin next month, if the timeline goes as scheduled, season 6 will likely air sometime in April 2016, which as of now, feels much too far away.
Now that the series has caught up with the books, there is little that fans know about the next season, with book readers being as much in the dark as series-watchers. However, there have been a few leaks, and here are some that are already confirmed:
1) The dragons will appear still bigger. In an interview with VFX supervisor Joe Bauer with Yahoo! TV, he noted that creatures will continue to get even bigger, describing that "the dragons will again be double in size."
2) A yet-to-be-revealed big scene will find its way to the next season. According to Express UK, the scene has been shelved twice before because producers David Benioff and DB Weiss think it may be too big to pull off. However, prosthetics supervisor Barrie Gower said that "in Season 6, it looks like we're going to do it. Fingers crossed they won't chicken out." Do you have any idea what this could be?
3) Many are still reeling about Jon Snow's death, after all, considering that he's one of the top contenders for the Iron Throne as per fan forums, the treachery that resulted to his death saw many fans in tears. Unfortunately for those in denial, it seems that Kit Harrington's character really is dead, and he won't be back next season. He told Entertainment Weekly, "I've been told I'm dead. I'm dead. I'm not coming back next season."
4) Kit Harrington may not be back for more, but that doesn't mean that Jon Snow is actually dead. In fact, one popular theory is that Ned Stark's bastard will be back next season as a warg and will have the ability to change into his direwolf, Ghost. Many theories surround the fate of Jon Snow, and with that is the certainty that fans are not willing to accept his death.
5) It seems that new kingdoms will be revealed next season. According to a separate report fom EW, "Game of Thrones" producers have set their sights on new locations in Spain - Girona and Peñíscola - with Peniscola closely resembling a place called "Storm's End," which seats the House Baratheon, however, this hasn't been confirmed yet and there is no word which fictional places the Spanish sets will represent.
Where do you think the next season will pick up?
