Light spoilers and additional casting news after the break!
There’s been a lot of activity amongst our brothers in the North as Season 6 filming continues. The crew has been spotted working in Magheramorne which is notably the set of Castle Black.
Just last week, WatchersOnTheWall sources provided us with casting info about a new character that seemed rather Frey-like, leaving us wondering if season 6 would bring the long-awaited return of the dastardly head of House Frey.
In a new interview with Zap2It, actor David Bradley confirms: we will see Walder Frey again on Game of Thrones…at some point. The actor would not confirm if he was returning in season 6 or at another time.
“He will be coming back, but I can’t say when,” Bradley tells Zap2It. “I can’t really say because things are in a delicate situation.”
Though nothing has been confirmed, there’s good reason to expect a White Walker sequence in season 6 that’s big enough to “break the internet.”

Season 6 filming of Game of Thrones is rolling in Belfast, and cast members are filtering in and out of the city. For now, shooting is contained in Northern Ireland, but early next month we can expect Spain filming to begin, in Girona.
Before checking in with the latest sightings, there’s a new interview with two of the Sand Snakes, with Jessica Henwick discussing returning in season 6, Keisha Castle-Hughes talking about what drew her to Obara, and more.
ModExpor International, the agency that casts Game of Thrones extras in Spain, posted a casting call yesterday for babies ages 9 – 12 months (and twins) and children 8 – 14 years to film in Peñíscola for one day in October.
