The city of Girona, Spain has publicly released the information regarding which areas will be restricted during the filming of Game of Thrones, along with a map, and thus confirmed several locations for season 6.
The helpful pamphlet (conveyed to us by JuegoDeTronosTM) points out in dark yellow which Girona sites will be entirely restricted during shooting, and indicates with a dotted line the general area that may be affected by filming.
A few weeks back, we asked you, the fans of Game of Thrones, to provide the pool of nominations for this year’s Watchers on the Wall Awards. The submissions have been sorted, scrutinized, and tallied, and the time has finally come for this year’s awards voting, celebrating season 5, to properly begin.
The first category you’ll all be voting on is Best Supporting Actress. But before we jump into that, we’d like to announce the nominations for Best Actress! The field for Best Actress is much narrower, and so like last year, five nominees will go straight to the finals of Best Actress with no need for a preliminary vote.
Not to overstate things … but season 6 is going to be kind of important. After last season’s tumultuous ratings, season 6 will be Game of Thrones‘ opportunity to rectify the aspects of the show that garnered vehement criticism, such as its depiction of violence. Now, I generally agree that brutality can be necessary for social commentary, but only if done well. The difference between using violence for shock value and using it to explore the darkest aspects of human nature and society is understanding that the effects of violence long outlast the violence itself. There is no better example of this than Theon Greyjoy, formerly Reek, formerly Ironborn.
With all the excitement over expanded filming in Spain this year, the question has been asked: exactly how much Game of Thrones shooting will be happening in Croatia? Croatia, with the port city of Dubrovnik as the show’s base, has been a major location since season 2. Dubrovnik’s Old Town has shaped the look of King’s Landing and the people of the country have played a role in production as well, with thousands of local extras signing on over the years.
Watchers On The Wall can confirm we’ve been hearing from various sources for a couple months now that Game of Thrones will be returning to Croatia for only a short amount of filming this year, possibly less than a week.
The votes are tallied and the designs that made the cut are below the cut.
Featured are the top five vote getters and one bonus staff selection. In this final round, you are asked to select two designs. The top design will go to print and will be available for purchase in the upcoming grand opening of the WotW Store.

Belfast is busy this week with Game of Thrones stars shuffling in and out of the city as season 6 filming rolls on. Emilia Clarke, Maisie Williams, Sophie Turner and more have been spotted in the city in just the last couple days.
Maisie Williams is back in town and going blind! Luckily she has Sophie Turner to keep her company. The stars were playing around in their hotel room last night after a day’s shooting, with Maisie babying her sore eyes in this pic and an accompany video where the women got a bit silly.
