“Absolutely amazing stuff coming up,” Liam Cunningham (Davos Seaworth) teases regarding the newest season of Game of Thrones and the devious red priestess Melisandre. He and Maisie Williams (Arya Stark) had exciting things to say to Express about the upcoming season. Williams reveals in the new interview that we’ll likely see Arya in fewer episodes this year.
With season 6 around the corner (59 days and counting!), there are more Game of Thrones cast interviews every day. This morning, we have new features on Nikolaj Coster-Waldau and John Bradley discussing life, filming Game of Thrones and of course, Jon Snow.
In DigitalSpy, Bradley discusses his reaction to Jon’s death and how it has affected his time on set, playing Samwell Tarly.
“When you read something like that, even though you’re a fan of the show and the character, it’s hard not to let your personal, real-life emotions come into it.” The actor explains, “”You think, ‘It’s terrible that Jon Snow’s not going to be in it anymore’, but it’s more terrible for me that Kit’s not going to be on set every day. Not that I’d be acting with him anyway [if he survived], but that presence will be missing.”
In an new interview with IGN, George R.R. Martin dishes on a previous plot that he has indeed decided to go through with. He also talks writing delays, working on Game of Thrones, and the show’s surpassing of the books.
