The cast members of "Game of Thrones" were at last Saturday's Screen Actors Guild Awards. On the red carpet, Emilia Clarke, Sophie Turner, and Nikolaj Coster-Waldau talked about what fans can expect on season 6 of the hit HBO series.

Speaking with E! News' Giuliana Rancic and Brad Goreski, Clarke, who plays Daenerys Targaryen on the show, revealed that the upcoming season is going to be a big one as she joked that season "almost killed us."

"Like, it is epic. Like, it's huge. It's insane. It's silly," said Clarke.

Meanwhile, the rest of the cast kept mum about Jon Snow's (Kit Harington) fate as Coster-Waldau talked about the opening scene of season 6, which involves the former Commander of the Nights Watch.

Back in the season 5 finale, Jon Snow was stabbed by several members of the Nights Watch and was left to bleed on the ground. While it was speculated that the character might have died, recent sightings of Harington filming season 6 in North Ireland appear to confirm that the character is alive and well.

While in an interview with BBC Breakfast, Harington stuck to what he said after the season 5 finale aired, maintaining that Jon Snow is truly dead.

"I think anyone who wants to know what happens in season 6 has to wait until it comes out," said Harington. "All I can tell you is Jon Snow is dead. He died at the end of last season."

As for Sansa Stark, Turner told Goreski that this season, her character will get all the respect that she deserves. The last time fans saw Sansa, she was escaping from Ramsay Bolton (Iwan Rheon) with the help of Theon (Alfie Allen).
The actress also spoke with Entertainment Weekly at EW's SAG Awards party on Friday in Los Angeles, saying that fans will finally get the storyline that they've been wanting for Sansa for the past five seasons.

"You can only suffer so much before she finally gets her, the respect that she deserves," said Turner.

"Game of Thrones" season 6 premieres on April 24 on HBO.
