Game of Thrones series 6

Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g · 14/02/2016 16:34

Not long now, I assume. Does anybody know when it starts? It was April last year.

To keep us all going, I just found that www.makinggameofthrones.com/production-diary/exclusive-pictures-season-6HBO has released some photos from the series. Some of them suggest certain plot developments, so don't look if you don't like spoilers! I do like them, and have read all the books, but I think we're now into unknown territory, as the TV version is outpacing George R R Martin.

Does anyone else have any info about series 6?

Let's try that link again: www.makinggameofthrones.com/production-diary/exclusive-pictures-season-6

There's apparently a teaser trailer for it airing in the US tonight so it should be on YouTube by tomorrow.

Trills · 14/02/2016 16:38

April I've heard.

May have to do a rewatch of season 5 before it starts, to make sure I know where everyone is.

I'm looking forward to it all being NEW - I've read all the books so up to season 4 (and some of season 5, but not all) I already knew what was coming.

April 24th, now I've looked more closely at my own link! There are a few teasers on there already but they don't give much away.

Thanks for the heads up about the next one! That's tomorrow morning sorted out.

Here's last nights teaser, though it doesn't tell us much.

BrienneofQarth · 15/02/2016 10:01

One of the pics seems to show Sansa with a pregnant belly?

Cerseirys · 15/02/2016 10:24

Hmm, I think that's just the camera angle and the way her dress falls. That's meant to be soon after she and Theon escape so I don't think that'd be enough time for a pregnancy to show.

Also, I find the actor playing Roose (not Ramsay) Bolton strangely attractive... Hmm

Tfoot75 · 15/02/2016 10:25

Who is it lying in state with Tommen and Jaime watching over her? Margaery or Myrcella? Or did one of these already die at end of last series? I can't recall. Can't tell if Sansa is pregnant or not!

Cerseirys · 15/02/2016 10:41

That'll be Myrcella, who was poisoned by Ellaria Sand at the end of season 5.

Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g · 15/02/2016 10:42

I wondered about pregnancy. I think it must be Myrcella. To be honest, I've forgotten a lot of the details so I hope my pre-ordered copy of series 5 arrives before series 6 starts!

Tfoot75 · 15/02/2016 11:21

Ah ok, I don't think that happened in the books so explains why I've forgotten!

gingercat12 · 16/02/2016 12:50

I thought Sansa looked very drained. A bit zombie IYWIM.

TheSecondOfHerName · 16/02/2016 21:35

Here you all are! I've been watching all the episodes again from the beginning; just started series 4. I'm noticing a lot more detail the second time round. Very excited for April.

TheSecondOfHerName · 16/02/2016 22:00

I'm going to have to remind myself where we left the characters at the end of S5.

Sansa & Theon: in a snowdrift at the bottom of a wall, I think.

Brienne & Stannis: in a wood somewhere not far from there.

Cersei: in a rather radicalised King's Landing.

Jon Snow: Castle Black, not looking healthy.

Melisandre: near Castle Black too?

Varys & Tyrion: near Mereen or a similar-looking free city.

Arya: Bravos.

Gendry: still rowing?

gingercat12 · 16/02/2016 22:28

Jaime and Bronn: on their way back to KL

Myrcella: dead

Margery: still in prison

Loras Tyrell and Olenna Tyrell: ?

Tommen: pottering in KL

Kevan Lannister: is he alive in the show?

Littlefinger: ?

Dany: surrounded by Dothraki

Bran Stark: turning into a tree

Rickon Stark: where did he go in the film with Osha?

Ramsay Bolton: around Winterfell

Lord Bolton: in Winterfell

Sandor: is he dead in the show?

Samwell: is he still on the boat with Gilly?

Blackfish Tully: ?

Edmund Tully and newly pregnant Frey wife: ?

Yara Greyjoy: ?

Brotherhood Without Banners:?

Direwolves: ?

TheSecondOfHerName · 17/02/2016 23:17

Direwolves:
Dead (Frey/Lannister arrows)
Dead (Ned Stark)
In or near a big tree
Missing
With Rickon & Osha

Place marking Grin I can't wait for the new season to start

SagaAndMartinsLiftConvos · 29/02/2016 19:55

I'm re-watching from the start. I've had alllll the episodes hanging about on our Sky box, and they're just taking up too much room, so I am watching them all once more and deleting as I go.

This line, from Catelyn in Season ONE: "I've known Lord Walder since I was a girl, he would never harm me." Sad #evilforeshadowing

TameImpala · 29/02/2016 19:59

Will the UK and US run at the same time do you think?

LizardBreath · 10/03/2016 22:11

Has everyone seen the new trailer? Looks v good I thought!

TheSecondOfHerName · 11/03/2016 22:01

Since January, I have watched the first five series through from the beginning. Very excited for the 6th now.

I read that Sky Atlantic plan to show it at 2am (concurrent with US showing) and again in the evening.

I enjoyed the trailer; it seemed to pack a lot into a short time, without giving masses away.

SagaNorensLeatherTrousers · 11/03/2016 22:15

Getting close! Did everyone see they're not releasing any advanced copies to the media this year? They don't want anything leaking like last series.

Izzabellasasperella · 12/03/2016 10:04

We don't have Sky. Does anyone know where we will be able to watch it at a later date? We watched series 5 on Amazon.

WipsGlitter · 12/03/2016 10:10

We watch it on blinkbox. I think it comes out in June.
